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.

Renaissance BioScience Receives Government of Canada Funding to Target Destructive Canola Flea Beetle Crop Pests





A precision targeted RNA interference biopesticide technology advance for pest biocontrol

VANCOUVER, BC, September 09, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Renaissance BioScience Corp. is pleased to announce that it has received financial support from the Government of Canada, via the AgriScience Program – Projects Component, to accelerate the development of an innovative, environmentally friendly RNA interference (RNAi) biocontrol technology to protect canola crops from crucifer and striped flea beetles—two of the most damaging pests affecting this key global agricultural sector.

Part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's (AAFC) Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), the AgriScience Program funding will provide almost $830,000 to support this $1.65 million Renaissance project entitled "Eco-Friendly Precision: Innovation RNAi Encapsidation for Flea Beetle Control." This funding will be distributed over the next three years, with the project set to conclude in 2028.

Canola (also known as rapeseed) is the world's second-largest oilseed crop with global annual production of approximately 70 million tonnes. Canada leads the world in both production and export of canola, yielding approximately 20 million tonnes per year and contributing an estimated $44 billion to the Canadian national economy.

A precision targeted technology advance for pest biocontrol
Renaissance's innovative solution leverages RNAi technology, a highly specific biocontrol method that "interferes" with specific genes unique to the pest, preventing reproduction and survival, without harming other species. To enhance this technology's effectiveness, the project will also look to improve the stability and potency of RNAi delivery and efficacy for faster more reliable results under real-world farming conditions.

This project aims to provide canola farmers with a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides. Once developed and approved, this made-in-Canada biocontrol innovation will be commercially available to farmers worldwide, offering a powerful new tool to protect yields, cut costs, and align with the global shift toward eco-friendly agriculture.

"Making sure producers have access to cutting-edge pest control tools is key to maintaining Canada's leadership in sustainable, profitable agriculture and reducing crop losses. This made-in-Canada solution will protect canola yields, open new opportunities across the value chain, and support economic growth in our rural communities."
- The Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
