About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Award recognizes Booker’s significant contributions and leadership within the professional association and higher education

University of Phoenix is proud to announce that Marc Booker, Ph.D., vice provost of strategy for the University, is the inaugural recipient of the Pacific Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (PACRAO) Impact Award. This award recognizes individuals who make a significant contribution to PACRAO through service and leadership on committees or service as a member of the Executive Board. It honors those who have made significant and sustained contributions to the association beyond their first years as a member.

“I am truly honored to have been recognized by PACRAO as the first recipient of their Impact Award based on my contributions to this association,” shares Booker. “PACRAO has been instrumental in the professional development of myself and so many others that I have been driven to try and give back to this dynamic organization in any way that I can. To know that my efforts have made a difference in the minds of this esteemed group is the greatest recognition one could hope for and is a testament to the virtuous cycle that can be created when we focus on the growth and betterment of the people we work with and our institutions.”

PACRAO is a non-profit, voluntary, professional association representing more than 350 regionally accredited 2-year, 4-year, and graduate schools with an individual membership of 1,500 professional admissions officers and registrars. The Association provides conferences and other professional development opportunities for the consideration of professional issues common to its members. PACRAO also provides an avenue for members to contribute to the general advancement of higher education, their professions, and their individual careers.

“It was a joy to be able to recognize Marc with this award,” stated PACRAO President Tina Miller. “He has consistently stepped up, stepped in, and made a difference – in everything from leadership roles, to teaching our Leadership Development Institute cohorts, to serving as parliamentarian, and more. Marc has truly made a lasting impact on PACRAO and its members. He is an inspiration.”

In 2022, Booker was selected as the Dean of the Leadership Development Institute for PACRAO and he served as the President of the Association in 2016. Since 2009, Booker also has been a regular speaker, contributor, and subject matter expert at national and regional conferences for AACRAO, PACRAO, The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, EDUCAUSE, and Anthology Together, sharing insight on various topics including leadership, process improvement, change management, prior learning assessment, transfer credit, and articulation.

As Vice Provost for Strategy at the University of Phoenix, Booker oversees critical path academic initiatives to improve the student experience, such as learning platform implementations, curricular enhancements, and developing empathetic solutions to drive improved student outcomes through data. He is the recipient of the 2024 UPCEA Operational Excellence Award, the 2024 AACRAO Thomas A. Bilger Award, and in 2023 was part of a leadership team named winners of the Catalyst Award for Teaching & Learning. In 2020, Booker received a Hall of Fame recognition from Blackboard.
