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.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Expands Deployment of Waters Corporation Software to Support its Medical Products Testing Labs

News Summary:

  • The U.S. FDA is expanding its use of Waters’ compliant-ready Empower Chromatography Data Software (CDS) and has added NuGenesis Laboratory Management Software (LMS) to support its medical products testing labs.
  • Will provide common data management platform for five U.S. field labs performing pharmaceuticals analysis using a variety of measurement technologies.
  • Transition to electronic records management system will speed data retrieval, automate essential audit and archival functions, and ensure compliance with legislative mandates.

Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) has purchased Waters™ Empower™ Chromatography Data Software (CDS) and NuGenesis™ Laboratory Management Software (LMS), expanding its deployment of Waters’ software to support its medical products testing operations across its five field science laboratories.

Both Waters software applications will provide the ORA labs a common platform for acquiring, processing, reporting, and archiving analytical data from a variety of measurement instruments. Transitioning to a fully-electronic, common data management strategy will also help ORA’s laboratories realize greater operational efficiencies and bring them closer to compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the National Archives and Records Administration stated goals of phasing out paper records beginning in 2022.

“We’re extremely grateful to the FDA for putting its trust in Waters’ Empower and NuGenesis software, expanding the capabilities of its labs to centrally capture, retrieve and secure vital data for nationwide testing of medical products in the United States,” said Dr. Udit Batra, President and CEO, Waters Corporation. “Since we commercialized Empower software 25 years ago, it has become the choice of numerous regulatory agencies and thousands of scientific organizations worldwide. Regulatory agencies like the FDA rely on the integrity and traceability of their lab data to help make vital decisions about the safety, purity and efficacy of drug products to help protect public health.”

In addition to supplying the software, Waters will install the computer hardware, assist with instrument qualification and software validation and train site analysts on the operation, configuration, and expansion of the data management system.

ORA is the lead office for all FDA field activities. Its laboratories inspect drug manufacturers, conduct sample analyses of regulated drug products and review imported pharmaceuticals offered for entry into the United States. The laboratories also perform a variety of chemical and materials analyses including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC™), mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, spectroscopy, and thermal analysis.

The Waters Empower CDS is the world’s leading chromatography software platform with more than 250,000 licenses in use today. The enterprise version of Empower software controls and collects gas and liquid chromatography data from a variety of instrumentation brands throughout a laboratory and is a platform for assembling, reviewing, approving, and publishing data in various reporting formats. The Waters NuGenesis LMS links many types of laboratory data to the business operations of the enterprise with functionality such as sample submission, results review, stability testing, scientific search, multi-vendor software connection, laboratory inventories, data retention and legal hold, and laboratory execution methods.

Both Waters Empower CDS and NuGenesis LMS are available from Waters separately or as fully integrated software applications.
