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.

Over 2,400 Surgical Cases Completed Using Stryker’s Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance Software in First Year

Stryker to showcase Q Guidance System with spine and cranial applications at NASS Annual Meeting

Stryker (NYSE: SYK), one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, announced today that its Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance Software has been used to deliver enhanced surgical planning and navigation in over 2,400 spinal cases. The Q Guidance System for both spine and cranial applications will be featured at the North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting in Los Angeles, Oct. 18 - 21, booth no. 1701.

“The surgeon feedback on our Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance Software is overwhelmingly positive, and the number of completed surgical cases has exceeded our expectations,” said Keith Evans, vice president and general manager of Stryker’s Enabling Technologies business. "We’ve seen firsthand how it has helped surgeons optimize their workflow and time spent in the OR. It’s also exciting that we could expand our reach by making this technology available for use with pediatric patients aged 13 and older. The Q Guidance System continues our legacy of ingenuity and is currently the center of our enabling technologies ecosystem that we continue to build upon year over year.”

The Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance Software, which launched in 2022, delivers unmatched speed and the flexibility of multiple optical tracking methods, including full-spectrum active/passive hybrid optical tracking, semi-automatic and automatic processing features, gesture recognition, and broad compatibility with various types of image sets.1

"As a diehard freehand pedicle screw inserter, my first case with the Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance Software changed my views on navigation,” said Dr. Peter Newton*, chief of the Division of Orthopedics & Scoliosis and surgeon-in-chief at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, California. “In surgeries like these, I believe perfect screw positioning and maximal screw length are critical, and both were achieved for this patient. The ability to move the tracker and re-register quickly without another CT scan is a spectacular advance in navigation."
