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.

Validated Insights Report on Computer Science and Information Technology Released: Tech Degrees Growing, Some Significantly

By: via Business Wire

A new report from Validated Insights shows that enrollments in Computer Science and IT degrees are increasing consistently, though some are performing better than others.

According to a newly released report from higher education marketing and research firm Validated Insights, computer science and information technology (CS/IT) related degree programs have experienced strong growth recently, with some sub-fields growing rapidly. At the same time, there are caution signals in some places.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250617834904/en/

Validated Insights report on CS and IT degree enrollment shows consistent growth in many sub-fields. The number of certificates and degrees in CS/IT awarded by colleges and universities tripled from 2011 to 2023. Over the past five years enrollment in these programs has grown at a 7.2% annually, to more than 1.3 million students. Online CS/IT enrollment outpaced overall growth in these fields, posting a 10.4% yearly growth rate over the past five years. View the report at validatedinsights.com.

According to the report, the number of certificates and degrees in CS/IT awarded by colleges and universities tripled from 2011 to 2023. Over the past five years enrollment in these programs has grown at a 7.2% annually, to more than 1.3 million students. Online CS/IT enrollment outpaced overall growth in these fields, posting a 10.4% yearly growth rate over the past five years, the report found.

“Computer science and IT-related fields of study continue to be areas of growth nearly across the board,” said Brady Colby, Head of Market Research at Validated Insights and founder of Thirty Two Edu, which was acquired by Validated Insights in 2023. “Strong enrollments in these areas also follow through to increasing completion numbers and consistent interest from the key demographic of adult learners,” he said.

In specific CS/IT-related areas of study, the new report found consistent growth in enrollments. This included a very high growth rate in one area specifically – data analytics & data science, which grew a remarkable 195% per year in the past four years.

Examples of these specific areas of study include:

  • From Fall 2018 to Fall 2023, enrollment in AI/ML programs across all award levels grew at a 44.8% per year.
  • From 2019 to 2024, enrollment in BS in computer science programs grew at 4.9% annually, and MS in computer science programs grew at a 10.1%.
  • From Fall 2018 to Fall 2024, total enrollment in BS in cybersecurity programs grew at a 22.5% per year, and MS in cybersecurity enrollment grew at a 6.2%.
  • From Fall 2020 to Fall 2024, enrollment in BS in data analytics & data science programs grew at 179.2% annually, and enrollment in MS in data analytics & data science programs grew at a 200.5% per year.

The strong growth in these study fields is echoed by confidence among school leaders, especially in the area of online programs. The report found that over the past five years the percentage of university leaders saying they believed that online CS/IT programs are “poised for strong growth” doubled, growing from 13% to 26%.

Another interesting finding from the report is that, “Taking a Computer Science course in high school increases the likelihood that a student will declare Computer Science as their major in the future by 10%.” This may indicate that expanding future study in CS and IT fields may aid future enrollment interest.

“The pipeline is good, the confidence is high,” said Colby. “And in fields such as data analysis and artificial intelligence, we see very, very strong market signals in the enrollment numbers and in the labor market,” he said.

Still, the report found areas in the CS and IT market that may be cause for mild concern. For example, according to the report, “While BS in Computer Science completions grew at a 9.7% a year from 2018 to 2023, the year-over-year growth declined from 14.6% in 2019 to just 4.3% in 2023.” Potentially more troubling is that, according to the report, “Entry-level tech hiring declined 25% year-over-year in 2024 in spite of the broader market recovery.”

“Entry-level jobs in these CS areas are no longer a universal given,” Colby said. “That reality may lead people to ultimately decide to continue their studies at the graduate level, or it may lead to shifts in student preferences, but we have yet to see the impact of this borne out in the higher education space,” he said.

Like previous reports from Validated Insights, the new CS/IT education and market report explored dynamics such as career demands, job postings, and completion rates.

This report is the first from Validated Insights to examine the computer science education marketplace. Previous reports have studied the market for online program management companies (OPM), MBA programs, nursing education, and trade schools.

Also like its other benchmark education market reports, the report on CS/IT fields will be updated regularly, along with other timely and relevant information about higher education and the higher education market generally.
