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.

Labcorp Launches First-of-its-kind At-home Collection Device for Diabetes Risk Testing

Consumers Can Access the Diabetes Risk Test Kit As Well As Other Health and Wellness Tests Through Labcorp OnDemand

There is a new and convenient way for millions of individuals to assess whether they are at risk for developing diabetes. Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a leading global life sciences company, is making screening for diabetes easier with the launch of an at-home collection kit through Labcorp OnDemand™ that measures hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from a small blood sample.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220516005774/en/

Labcorp is the only commercial laboratory to provide HbA1c testing using a new, cutting-edge collection device from Weavr Health, a diagnostics company that provides remote biofluid collection devices to extend access to health and wellness testing. In addition, Labcorp is the first and only laboratory to receive approval from the New York State Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program for testing using the Weavr Velvet™ blood collection device. This allows for the Labcorp OnDemand Diabetes Risk test to be available nationwide.

“Diabetes is a serious disease affecting millions of people in the United States,” said Dr. Brian Caveney, chief medical officer and president, Labcorp Diagnostics. “Our Labcorp OnDemand Diabetes Risk Test at-home collection kit now makes it easier for consumers to understand their diabetes risk and health status using an innovative and approved collection device. This test offers a convenient way for more people to manage their health and stay informed, so they can seek treatment that may lead to better health outcomes.”

One of the primary ways to screen for diabetes and prediabetes and monitor the quality of treatment is through a HbA1c test. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 96 million adults have prediabetes in the United States and 8 in 10 of them are not aware they have it. More than 37 million people are living with diabetes, and 1 in 5 go undiagnosed.

The Labcorp OnDemand Diabetes Risk test uses a dried blood technology to give a snapshot of the body’s average blood sugar levels over time. With a prick of the finger and a few drops of blood, consumers can be empowered to proactively monitor their health status on a regular basis from the comfort of their home.

The Weavr Velvet device separates plasma and red blood cells, which allows a more in-depth, complex analysis of the sample. It is easy to use and was designed to enclose the sample to keep it contained, safe and stable for transport and testing. After collection, the device is returned to Labcorp via a prepaid FedEx envelope.

According to a recent study published by Clinical Chemistry, results from samples collected via the Weavr Velvet device are over 97% accurate when compared to results from a traditional blood draw. Through an equity investment made by Labcorp, the device was co-developed for HbA1c by the two companies with Weavr remaining the device owner.

“Through our collaboration with Labcorp, we are able to bring safe, efficient testing to doorsteps across the country,” said Linh Hoang, chief executive officer of Weavr Health. “Our goal is to create innovative testing solutions so that people in all communities have access to life-saving diagnostics and feel empowered to take control of their health.”

Labcorp OnDemand Diabetes Risk at-home collection kits are available to purchase at Diabetes Risk (HbA1c) At-Home Collection Test | Labcorp OnDemand and are not covered by health insurance coverage.
