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 Publishes White Paper on TechEQ and Durable Skills Shaping the Future of IT

Authored by University of Phoenix Vice President of Information Technology Shannon T. Wilson, the paper outlines a practical strategy for elevating “durable skills” alongside technical excellence

University of Phoenix today announced the publication of a new white paper, “The TechEQ Strategy: Developing Durable Skills for the Future of IT,” by Shannon T. Wilson, vice president of Information Technology. The paper makes the case that IT organizations achieve better outcomes when “durable skills”—often called soft skills—are developed intentionally and embedded into team culture next to hard technical capabilities.

“Technical mastery is table stakes. TechEQ is about elevating the relational and problem-solving skills that make technology valuable for people—customers, colleagues and learners,” says Wilson. “When teams can practice, name and reinforce these durable skills, velocity and quality follow.”

Wilson’s thought leadership centers on a pragmatic, culture-first framework he calls TechEQ—an approach for operationalizing durable skills so teams build better products, move faster and collaborate more effectively. The white paper underscores that these skills are frequently overshadowed in IT, despite being crucial for organizational performance; TechEQ offers training and protocols to make them a visible, measurable part of how IT works every day.

The white paper identifies key elements of a TechEQ strategy:

  • Durable skills as performance drivers: Skills like communication, collaboration and adaptability deserve equal footing with hard skills in workforce development plans.
  • From concept to practice: Organizations can embed durable skills through training rhythms, shared language and operating mechanisms—raising product quality and efficiency.
  • A roadmap leaders can use: TechEQ offers a practical playbook that IT leaders can tailor to their context to strengthen culture, delivery and cross-functional trust.

As the University’s vice president of IT, Wilson leads 150+ team members serving core academic and platform needs. His leadership is recognized for aligning innovation with institutional goals and contributing to five consecutive years of year-over-year employee retention growth—experience that informs the paper’s emphasis on durable skills as a lever for operational excellence.

The white paper is available now in the University of Phoenix Media Center Thought Leadership library; readers can access the abstract and download the full report here.
