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 Releases White Paper on Workforce Resilience

Author Dr. Jeffery Rhymes explores a systems thinking approach and blueprint to addressing burnout and skills gaps, with insights from the 2025 Career Optimism Index®

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a new white paper, “Designing Workforce Resilience: A Systems Thinking Blueprint for Closing the Skills Gap and Preventing Burnout,” by Jeffery Rhymes, DM, MBA, and fellow with the University’s Center for Organizational Wellness, Engagement, and Belonging (CO-WEB). In the paper, Rhymes presents a systems thinking approach and blueprint for creating adaptive, employee-centered strategies for countering burnout and widening skills gaps, contextualized within findings from 2025 Career Optimism Index® study.

“Talent challenges such as burnout, disengagement, and skills shortages arise from workplace system breakdowns rather than isolated policy gaps,” Rhymes shares. “To achieve true resilience, organizations must redesign how talent flows throughout the employee lifecycle. Adopting a systems thinking mindset can help leaders build the structural strength their workforce needs to thrive.”

Data from the 2025 Career Optimism Index highlights a systemic misalignment between employees and employers: 43% of workers lack access to skill development, 60% of employers prioritize external hiring, and 51% of employees experience burnout. The white paper explores this misalignment, its contributions to talent stagnation and burnout, and the opportunities for leadership action.

The white paper further describes five critical actions grounded in systems thinking that company leaders can take: auditing human capital systems, establishing feedback loops, focusing on internal talent mobility, aligning metrics with strategy, and implementing training that emphasizes leading adaptively.

Rhymes serves as doctoral faculty at the University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies. As an organization and technology operational readiness leader with over 20 years of consulting experience, he specializes in enhancing employee experiences, leading high-performing teams, driving strategic talent management initiatives and making complex concepts accessible through clear and engaging communication. Rhymes earned his Doctorate in Management and MBA from University of Phoenix, and a bachelor’s in computer science from Southern University and A&M College.

The full white paper is available on the University of Phoenix Career Institute® webpage or as a direct link here.
