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 College of Doctoral Studies Leaders and Scholars Pursue Generative AI Research

Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research leads multiple GenAI projects exploring the transformation of education

The University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies proudly announces the establishment of the Phoenix AI Research Group, an initiative of the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR), dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, and in support of the higher education community.

“To harness AI's power, it is critical to identify its effects, challenges, and strategies to address and resolve these issues while ensuring responsible use,” states Mansureh Kebritchi, Ph.D., chair of CEITR, and founder of the initiative. “Our mission is to inform this work and empower higher education by conducting AI research, providing essential resources, and importantly, fostering a strong AI community.”

The Phoenix AI Research Group is committed to advancing the role of AI in education through innovative research projects with focus areas in human and artificial cognition, AI-enhanced learning and teaching, AI applications for research and innovation, tools for administrators, and the integration of AI across various disciplines in higher education. Additionally, the Group examines the ethical, social, and economic implications of AI in both education and society to ensure the responsible and equitable development and implementation of AI technologies.

A sample of current Gen AI research projects includes:

  • Cognitive Implications of Human and AI Interactions, an in-progress project in 2025, exploring implications of the interaction between human and artificial cognitive systems during complex knowledge processes such as learning, sensemaking, and decision-making.
  • Student and Faculty Support, an in-progress project in 2024 -2025, exploring faculty perspectives on use of AI for student support;
  • Alternative assessment to prevent plagiarism, an in-progress project in 2025;
  • AI-Powered Research Tools, an in-progress project developing/identifying AI tools to assist researchers in tasks like literature review, data collection, and hypothesis generation.

The Phoenix AI Research Group has already completed a number of projects during its nascent phase, including one on creativity, productivity, and large language models in co-creation of doctoral research questions, which was presented at the 2024 Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) conference, and a project in 2023 on educational implications and strategies using generative AI in online courses in higher ed, also presented at the AECT conference.

The Phoenix AI Research Group is dedicated to offering accessible and impactful resources for educators and students, helping them effectively integrate AI into teaching, learning, and research. They assess AI-powered tools in education, including intelligent tutoring systems, personalized learning platforms, and automated grading systems. Their Generative AI Academic Resources site, offers helpful materials, including:

  • AI-powered educational tools and applications: Access to a curated collection of AI tools and applications that can be directly integrated into teaching and learning.
  • Best practices and guidelines: Practical guidance and best practices for integrating AI into the curriculum, designing AI-powered learning experiences, and assessing student learning with AI.

Focused on building community, the group also organizes workshops and webinars to bring together researchers, educators, and industry professionals to share knowledge, discuss challenges, and explore future directions in AI education. “Operating on the model of our College of Doctoral Studies, we want to foster a vibrant and collaborative Gen AI research environment that encourages interdisciplinary knowledge sharing among faculty, students, and researchers,” shares Kebritchi.
