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.

Agilent BioTek Cytation C10 Confocal Imaging Reader Enhanced with Innovative Water Immersion Technology

Empowering researchers with superior imaging performance for cutting-edge live-cell and three-dimensional applications

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the addition of water immersion and new confocal spinning disk technology to the BioTek Cytation C10 confocal imaging reader. These features improve image quality and results by reducing deleterious effects on live-cell samples and enhancing clarity for thicker samples such as tissues and 3-D spheroids.

In light microscopy, water immersion technology automatically and consistently places a layer of water between the objective lens and the sample. The higher refractive index of water, as compared to air, effectively increases the numerical aperture of the objective lens; this reduces z-axis distortion, resulting in higher image quality and a more true-to-life representation of thick and three-dimensional cell models. Water immersion also benefits researchers who are increasingly turning to physiologically relevant live-cell (as opposed to fixed-cell) applications by reducing exposure times, thus lowering the phototoxic effects traditionally associated with these experiments.

Spinning disk confocal technology improves microscopic images by blocking out-of-focus light from reaching the image sensor. The new deep-sectioning spinning disk (DSD), now available as an option on the Cytation C10, allows researchers to look deeper into thick samples with less out-of-focus blur. The clearer images that result are particularly beneficial in quantitative analysis applications.

“The additions of water immersion objectives and a deep-sectioning confocal spinning disk to the Cytation C10 add significant new capabilities for researchers requiring the best imaging performance for live-cell and 3D applications,” stated Caleb Foster, associate vice president of marketing in Agilent’s Cell Analysis Division. “As the demands continue to grow for more complex physiologically relevant live-cell models, the Cytation C10 will be an invaluable and transformative research tool to support these imaging application areas.”

Designed as an affordable, high-performance confocal microscopy system, the Cytation C10 employs high-quality components, including a Hamamatsu scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera, Olympus objectives, and laser-based illumination. Onboard environmental controls, widefield fluorescence, brightfield, and phase contrast optics further enhance the system’s capabilities. Additionally, integrating it with the Agilent BioTek BioSpa 8 automated incubator enables efficient multi-plate live-cell analysis.
