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 Leader Authors Chapter in New AACRAO Book on Learning Mobility

New publication is the first comprehensive exploration of learning mobility in U.S. higher education

University of Phoenix proudly recognizes Dr. Marc Booker, Vice Provost for Strategy, for his authorship of a chapter in a new book from The American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). The book, titled "Learning Mobility: Empowering Educational Journeys Beyond Traditional Pathways," presents a comprehensive framework for recognizing, validating, and credentialing learning in higher education, and is available through the AACRAO website.

Dr. Booker’s chapter, “The Cultural Transformation: Moving From Transfer Policies to Learning Mobility Mindsets,” explores how institutions can evolve beyond traditional transfer credit practices to embrace learning-mobility-receptive cultures. These cultures prioritize equitable opportunities, whole-person paradigms, and interoperable systems that recognize learning regardless of its source.

“Now, with over 43 million learners holding some college credit but no credential, higher education has a powerful opportunity to move beyond transactional transfer policies and embrace a cultural shift that recognizes learning in all its forms,” said Booker. “Learning Mobility provides a forward-looking framework to center learners, remove systemic barriers, and build efficient, equitable pathways throughout higher education. By honoring the full breadth of learners’ experiences, we can empower progress and truly deliver on the promises and opportunities that higher education can provide.”

Booker’s chapter shares practical strategies for fostering a culture of credit mobility, including offering insights on institutional transformation, change management, faculty engagement, and data-driven accountability. It also emphasizes the importance of shifting from rigid student classifications to learner-centered processes that value diverse educational experiences.

“Dr. Marc Booker's chapter within the new AACRAO book showcases his leadership and expertise in a critical area for higher education today,” said AACRAO Executive Director Melanie Gottlieb. “The book as a whole is an essential resource, offering invaluable insights and practical strategies to inspire and guide institutions in transforming their approaches, ultimately creating more equitable and effective pathways that positively impact learners' academic, career, and life successes.”

Booker, who has served AACRAO through multiple leadership roles and working groups, co-directed the 2025 AACRAO Technology & Transfer Summit and joined a featured panel exploring Learning Mobility as a framework for reimagining transfer and credentialing, which focused on the role postsecondary education plays in removing barriers and creating opportunities for learners, earners, and employers.

Widely recognized as an expert in transfer credit and Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), Booker previously served as vice president of Admissions and Evaluation at University of Phoenix; during his tenure, his office received three Showcase in Excellence Awards from the Southwest Alliance for Excellence for processes related to admissions application, transcript, and prior learning assessment processes.

As Vice Provost for Strategy at the University of Phoenix, Booker oversees critical path academic initiatives to improve the student experience, such as learning platform implementations, curricular enhancements, and developing empathetic solutions to drive improved student outcomes through data. He is the recipient of the 2024 UPCEA Operational Excellence Award, 2024 AACRAO Thomas A. Bilger Award, and in 2023 was part of a leadership team named winners of the Catalyst Award for Teaching & Learning. In 2020, Booker received a Hall of Fame recognition from Blackboard.
