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.

Baxter Announces $100 Million Investment in BioPharma Solutions Halle/Westfalen, Germany Sterile Fill/Finish Manufacturing Facility

Investment will add a syringe filling line, additional liquid and lyophilized (freeze dried) vial capacity and expand manufacturing footprint

Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX), a global leader in sterile medication production and delivery, today announced an approximately $100 million expansion of its sterile fill/finish manufacturing facility located in Halle/Westfalen, Germany. This facility is operated by BioPharma Solutions (BPS), a business unit of Baxter that specializes in partnering with leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies on the development and contract manufacturing of drug product for parenteral (injectable) pharmaceuticals. Construction on the new manufacturing building is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in 2024.

This strategic investment will expand the BPS manufacturing footprint and add state-of-the-art equipment designed to help products achieve stability and improved shelf life through lyophilization (freeze drying). Construction will also add an aseptic syringe filling line, enabling BPS to meet the growing demand for this delivery platform in both Europe and the United States. Pre-filled syringes can enhance efficiency and ease-of-use for clinicians and have potential to minimize microbial contamination and reduce medication dosing errors during medication preparation, which are key considerations for patient safety.

“Baxter’s manufacturing site in Halle/Westfalen is one of the most advanced facilities in our global network and has seen significant growth over the last several years,” said Marie Keeley, general manager, Baxter BioPharma Solutions. “By making this investment, we are building on recent expansions to help ensure this facility can serve our partners at the highest level now and well into the future.”

Baxter’s Halle/Westfalen, Germany site has more than 60 years of experience and is recognized as a world-class manufacturer of cytotoxic and highly potent drugs, offering dedicated clinical development through commercial production with integrated technologies and services, including barrier technology that helps maintain a high level of containment when manufacturing sensitive and sophisticated drugs. The site also has broad sterile manufacturing capabilities and areas of focus, complies with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) regulations, features dedicated production areas and is designed to deliver products with optimum efficiency and speed to market. Baxter’s Halle/Westfalen facility was previously expanded in 2015, which added capacity and new technologies to stay on the leading edge of manufacturing parenteral oncology therapies. In addition, Baxter’s Halle/Westfalen facility is engaged in multiple collaborations to provide sterile manufacturing services for COVID-19 vaccines.
