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 Hosts 2025 SXSW EDU Panel on Role of Skills in Transforming Education and Employment

By: via Business Wire

University leaders Jay Titus and Kent Blumberg join industry leaders Sara Francois and Freddy Mathew to share insights on how innovative collaborations of educators and employers close skills gaps

University of Phoenix is pleased to be a sponsor at 2025 SXSW EDU and host the panel, “Skills IRL: Transforming Education & Employment,” featuring Jay Titus, vice president and general manager of Workforce Solutions, Kent Blumberg, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP, national account manager and faculty at the University, Sara Francois, Vice President of Training at Optimum, and Freddy Mathew, Vice President, Data Management at Comcast, on March 3, 2025, 1:00-2:00pm CT in Austin, Texas.

The panel, titled “Skills IRL: Transforming Education & Employment,” will explore how innovative collaborations of educators and employers help break the tension of talent stagnation between employers and workers and engage meaningful talent development for the workforce. “Employers and educators make great collaborators,” states Titus. “Working adults know they need to build skills to move forward on their career paths, and employers know what skills are required to achieve organizational success. Educators can be the bridge between the two and empower organizations and workers to pursue growth and opportunity together.”

The 2025 SXSW EDU event brings together leading minds in education to share ideas, network, and create the future of teaching and learning. The 2025 SXSW EDU Conference & Festival celebrates innovation and learning in the education industry offering a wide range of sessions, in-depth workshops, learning experiences, mentorship, film screenings, future-focused competitions, an expo, networking opportunities, performances, and is a component of the South by Southwest® (SXSW®) family of conferences and festivals.

In his role as Vice President and General Manager of Workforce Solutions at University of Phoenix, Titus provides leadership and strategic oversight of the teams supporting workforce development and upskilling solutions employers nationwide.

Over the years, his contributions in the adult education space have helped hundreds of employers re-frame tuition reimbursement benefits to positively impact recruitment, retention and employee engagement. Titus holds an MS in Management from Lasell College and a bachelor’s in business administration from Bryant University.

As Vice President of Training at Optimum, Francois leads the transformation of frontline employee development through engaging learning strategies. With a career in Learning & Development spanning financial services, high-tech, residential real estate, and telecommunications, she has driven large-scale skills initiatives, including leading workforce upskilling efforts at a private equity company. She holds a master’s in organizational management from University of Phoenix and a bachelor’s degree in business at Stephen F. Austin State University.

An experienced people leader with over 20 years of experience in data systems, process assurance, and IT auditing, Mathew previously worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers as a Senior Consultant and at Avery Dennison as an IT Auditor. He began his career as a Systems Analyst at Unisys. Mathew holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and a MIS from Villanova University.
