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 Senior Director of Learning and Development Barbara Schifano Presents on Innovative Talent Development Solution at ATD-Utah Learning Insights Conference

Schifano shares insights on leveraging digital tools to create a custom talent strategy experience with successful adoption by employees

University of Phoenix is pleased to share that Barbara Schifano, senior director of learning and development, joins the 2024 Association for Talent Development (ATD) Utah Chapter Learning Insights Conference in West Valley City, Utah, an event bringing together workplace learning, talent development, human resources (HR), and coaching professionals. Schifano will lead a breakout session, “A Fresh Approach to Talent Planning,” on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at 3:10 p.m. CDT, on the innovative new talent development model adopted this year by the University’s Human Resources.

“Annual talent planning provides a unique change opportunity for leaders to recommit to investing time in building employee skills now and for future workforce needs,” shares Schifano. “At University of Phoenix, our HR team embarked on a journey to reimagine our approach to talent planning with the goal of optimizing the process and maximizing our ROI. I am pleased to share our new approach to talent planning and its key transformational elements.”

Over the last year, Schifano along with Deborah Reuterman, Sr. Director, Human Resources, and Bekah Roberts, Program Manager, Talent Management, rebuilt the University’s talent planning model, retiring the 9-block model and introducing a dynamic Development Framework that places emphasis on growth and learning.

Themed “Embrace Change, Accelerate Growth,” the ATD Utah conference invites workplace learning professionals to discuss and explore topics within development and collaboration, instructional design, evaluating impact and performance, and talent strategy.

During the session, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the new methodology that places employee development at the center of the process. “Traditional approaches result in ineffective leadership practices: labeling employees, debate about box placement, and substantial time justifying potential,” shares Schifano. “Our approach focuses on development needs, efficiently leverages technology to track talent decisions, and moves us to alignment on skill development and career aspirations.” Schifano will also be sharing initial results from the first year of implementing the new model.

Schifano has over 20 years of experience in learning and development, and currently leads the talent development organization at University of Phoenix, transforming learning opportunities into meaningful experiences and creating engaging programs across the employee lifecycle to connect and inspire employees to achieve their best. Her career began in Operations at American Express, where she learned the gold-standard of leadership. Deeply committed to volunteering her time to create learning opportunities and resources that foster growth and development in others, Schifano has served on several non-profit boards and is the past President ATD-Utah. She holds a master’s degree in strategic communications and leadership from Seton Hall University and is a Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD). Additionally, she is certified in Predictive Index, Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation, and Situational Leadership.
