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.

Teacher Appreciation Week: University of Phoenix Celebrates the Dedication and Impact of Educators

2025 Career Optimism Index® study highlights the evolving roles and career optimism of teachers

In recognition of National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-9) University of Phoenix is proud to honor the innovative spirit and impactful contributions of educators across the country. The 2025 University of Phoenix Career Optimism Index® study reveals that teachers are not only optimistic about their careers but are also embracing new challenges and opportunities in the field of education.

According to the study, 68% of educators are seeking to expand their skillset and advance their career through courses and certifications. Additionally, 50% of educators feel optimistic about their career path. Despite this optimism, educators face significant challenges. Just over half of those surveyed (54%) feel in control of their professional future, and 59% report experiencing burnout at work. This lack of control significantly increases the risk of burnout.

“During Teacher Appreciation Week, we celebrate the unwavering and selfless commitment and dedication of our teachers,” shares Dr. Pamela Roggeman, dean of the College of Education at the University of Phoenix. “Teachers are the most impactful factor in a student’s educational journey, nurturing critical thinking, creativity, and curiosity in students nationwide. Day after day, teachers bring their best to the classroom, inspiring and guiding the students they serve. I am deeply honored to support their efforts and contribute to the development of future educators.”

This importance of supporting educators is reflected in the findings of the study, which found that 48% of educators hope that training and development opportunities offered through work will improve, and 50% do feel that mentorship opportunities have improved.

When asked how they expect their role to change within the next five years, educators cited the following for most anticipated changes:

  • Technology will play a greater role in education and learning (86%)
  • Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) making education more accessible (74%)
  • A need to improve skillsets to support career advancement (66%)

As technology and AI continue to evolve, educators note that not knowing how to use AI would put them at a disadvantage in their field (53%), according to the study.

University of Phoenix College of Education recognizes that flexible and relevant educational programs are essential to help prepare students for contemporary teaching practice. Programs within the College of Education include:

University of Phoenix’s dedicated emphasis on adult learners offers an ideal pathway for teachers looking to upskill, for those aiming to transition careers into teaching or for parents deeply engaged in their children's school environments who aspire to become educators. Through rigorous academic programs, hands-on experience, and experienced instructors, the College continues to nurture the talents and aspirations of future teachers, empowering them to excel in their chosen profession.

Kelley Perry, a third-generation educator from Arizona, enrolled in the University of Phoenix's online master's in education administration program, marking her second master's degree. Perry's decision was influenced by an email invitation to apply for a scholarship, which she received, reflecting her commitment to professional growth.

As a working parent, Perry balanced her academic pursuits with her son's athletic schedule and her responsibilities as an administrator, crediting the University of Phoenix’s flexible online program for enabling her to manage her parenting, education, and career simultaneously. "It was a natural thing for my family to see me working at night, working on the weekends," Perry said. "Education is important in our family. My father was an educator, my grandfather was an educator, and I’m proud to carry on that tradition.”

As the nation celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week, the College of Education extends its heartfelt appreciation to educators everywhere for their tireless dedication and commitment to shaping the minds of tomorrow's leaders. The College, with 1,110 graduates in FY2024, reaffirms its steadfast commitment to bridging the gap in teacher shortages and remains resolute in its mission to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of educators.
