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.

University of Phoenix Vice Provost of Strategy, Dr. Marc Booker, is recipient of UPCEA Operational Excellence Award

Association award recognizes Booker’s role in leading alignment of technical and non-technical resources to improve academic outcomes for students

University of Phoenix is proud to announce that Marc Booker, Ph.D., vice provost of strategy for the University is the recipient of the UPCEA® Business & Operations Award for Operational Excellence for 2024. UPCEA is the association for college and university leaders in online and professional continuing education, and 2024 Association Awards program includes recognition of both individual and institutional achievement across the UPCEA membership. Award recipients will be honored at the 2024 UPCEA Annual Conference, March 26-28 in Boston, Mass.

“Dr. Booker’s leadership in fostering a culture of innovation and empowerment on our strategic initiatives has had a profound impact on the way we serve working adult learners,” states John Woods, Ph.D., provost and chief academic officer. “The UPCEA award recognizes his deep understanding of the role that merging business, technology, and professional development processes play in advancing the university’s goals to further educational attainment for our working adult students. With his innovative contributions, we not only recognize and celebrate individual achievements but also our institution’s commitment to empowering diverse learners and advancing education through progressive, student-focused practices.”

The UPCEA Business & Operations Award for Operational Excellence recognizes outstanding individual contributions in operations, entrepreneurial, and intra-perineurial work that moves an institution forward, specifically in financial, human, administrative and IT operations in professional, continuing and online units at postsecondary institutions.

Over the last two years, University of Phoenix has undergone an organizational transformation to align technological and non-technological resources to improve academic outcomes and streamline operations. Booker led the effort within the Provost Organization’s team as the Product Lead for Academic Services and strategic initiative management owner for the Provost’s Office. Focusing on integrating product and business-related philosophies has allowed collaboration on technological solutions to achieve financial and operational goals, improve retention, and create innovative student learning opportunities resulting in improved institutional retention and significant savings.

“It is a tremendous honor to receive the Operational Excellence Award from UPCEA,” states Booker. “Advancing any organization requires collaboration, and I attribute our success to the trust we’ve cultivated with our people, our forward-thinking approach to continuously create value, and the collective commitment to enriching the student experience within our university. This recognition reflects our deep commitment to our students, as well as our mission of transforming lives through higher education.”

As Vice Provost for Strategy at the University of Phoenix, Dr. 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. Booker also served as dean of the Pacific Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (PACRAO) Leadership Development Institute in 2023 and was President of PACRAO in 2016. In 2020, Booker received a Hall of Fame recognition from Blackboard for his contributions in providing thought leadership and innovation in education.

Widely recognized as an expert in transfer credit and Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), Booker previously served as vice president of Admissions and Evaluation at University of Phoenix; during his tenure his office received three Showcase in Excellence Awards from the Southwest Alliance for Excellence for processes related to admissions application, transcript and prior learning assessment processes.

Booker has been an employee of the University of Phoenix since 2001.
