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.

Bruker Introduces Novel Point-of-Need Applied Mass Spectrometry Tools for Accelerated Measurements without Chromatography

  • Recent acquisition of DART™ (Direct Analysis Real-time Technology) innovator IonSense extends Bruker’s unique Point-of-Need (PoN) mass spectrometers
  • Launch of DART-EVOQ® triple quadrupole mass spectrometer offers simple, robust, yet sensitive and specific PoN workflows for applied markets
  • New Bruker strategic partnership with TOFWERK AG brings together skills and vision for next-generation high-speed, ultra-sensitive analytical solutions

At ASMS 2022, Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) extends the power of mass spectrometry inside and outside the laboratory to Point-of-Need (PoN) analysis with the introduction of the DART-EVOQ® triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for high-throughput quantitative analyses. The DART-EVOQ does not require chromatography separations for applied markets analysis in food/beverage, forensics, industrial, security, environmental and pharmaceutical workflows.

In April 2022, Bruker acquired IonSense, a leader in ambient ionization and developer of the DART™ ionization source that can analyze many types of samples, including solids, liquids and gases, in seconds with little to no sample preparation prior to analysis. DART technology removes time-consuming steps to rapidly identify and quantify sample analytes. DART enables novel PoN workflows that are challenging for conventional GC- and LC-mass specs because of the complexity, long analysis times and reduced robustness of front-end chromatography that is required for complex mixture analysis.

With DART in its portfolio, Bruker announces first applications with the launch of the DART-EVOQ system that extends applicability and performance for fast PoN mass spec measurements. DART-EVOQ users can rapidly identify samples, including many that do not ionize well using other methods. Innovative applications for combined DART-triple quad mass spectrometry include trace level volatile quantitation in grape harvests.

Dr. Gavin Sacks, Department of Food Science at Cornell University, observed: “The good correlations between GC-MS and DART-MS data suggest that the latter could be used as a rapid point-of-need alternative with ~30 sec/sample, compared to conventional GC-MS with typically ~30 min/sample analysis times. The combination of DART with triple quad mass spectrometers brings the potential of highly sensitive and selective point-of-need analyses into the hands of a broader range of users.”

In May 2022, Bruker announced a strategic partnership with TOFWERK AG for high-speed, ultra-sensitive applied and industrial analytical solutions, in conjunction with a Bruker minority investment. TOFWERK’s instruments are used in applications such as ambient air monitoring, breath analysis (for research use only), food and flavor analysis, and for airborne molecular contamination (AMC) monitoring in the semiconductor industry.

Dr. Marc Gonin, co-founder and CEO of TOFWERK, said: “We are excited to work closely with Bruker and IonSense to further accelerate the commercialization of compact, high-speed TOF-MS solutions for industrial and applied markets, based on ultra-high sensitivity and point-of-need analysis technologies developed at TOFWERK and Bruker.”

Bruker has a strong heritage in mass spectrometry in life sciences and applied markets such as food, environmental, forensics, industrial and clinical, e.g., with the MALDI Biotyper™ as the leading clinical mass spectrometry platform, with over 5000 systems in use in microbiology worldwide.

“Our expertise in developing novel workflows to overcome challenges faced by our customers is second to none,” commented Juergen Srega, the Bruker CALID Group President. “Our new Point-of-Need introductions again extend mass spec capabilities beyond traditional laboratory settings. We aim to be a leader in PoN mass spec solutions that enable simple and fast analyses, wherever they are needed. Our strategic investments, and the launch of the DART-EVOQ are important steps towards this goal.”
