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.

Illumina and Allegheny Health Network to Assess In-House Comprehensive Cancer Genomic Profiling to Enhance Patient Care

By: 3BL Media

Study will evaluate whether blood-based testing can inform oncology providers about genetic variations within a patient's cancer, which may influence choice of treatment based on cancer stage and type

DESCRIPTION:

SAN DIEGO, May 18, 2022 /3BL Media/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, and Allegheny Health Network (AHN), an integrated health system serving the Western Pennsylvania area, today announced a collaboration to evaluate the impact of in-house comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) to enhance patient care.

The collaboration will assess the value of in-house testing for both tissue and blood samples, versus sending those samples externally, and whether this approach may benefit cancer patients and the broader healthcare system. The collaboration will also work to identify instances where blood-based testing is most beneficial, depending on cancer stages and types.

The initiative is part of AHN Cancer Institute's plan to help improve the cancer care pathway through its newly established AHN Clinical Genomics Laboratory in Pittsburgh. Looking at approximately 1,000 samples, the collaboration will compare solid tissue biopsies with less invasive blood samples to see if regular blood testing can provide additional information on the genetic changes within a patient's cancer, which may be relevant to the choice of treatment. If so, less-invasive CGP testing of blood samples could potentially complement tissue sampling, substantially increasing the number of patients who are able to have their tumors profiled and be part of clinical trials for cancer therapy selection.

"We know that cancer results from a disrupted genome, and knowing the genetic changes in a patient's cancer increasingly results in personalized, targeted therapy and improved outcomes," said Phil Febbo, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Illumina. "Partnering with AHN to help them perform testing within their system will further advance their institutional expertise in genomic cancer diagnosis, increase opportunities to match their patients with personalized therapy, and improve patient outcomes."

"As an organization that treats more than 10,000 cancer patients each year, being at the forefront of cancer genetic profiling is critically important to our mission of helping pioneer the next generation of targeted therapies that will provide more effective treatment for all types of cancers," said David Bartlett, MD, Chair, AHN Cancer Institute. "We believe our collaboration with Illumina will help bring us closer to that reality."

The project commenced in 2022 and is slated for one year, with the potential to expand this clinical research in the future. Samples for the study have been collected across AHN Cancer Institute's 24 affiliated oncology clinics.
