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.

Horizon Therapeutics plc and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Solve Announce the Launch of the Third Annual Horizon Prize to Inspire Sustainable Solutions for Research and Care in the Rare Disease Community

Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced the launch of the third annual global innovation challenge, The Horizon Prize, powered by MIT Solve.

Each year, the Horizon Prize poses a challenge question, asking entrepreneurs and innovators worldwide to think creatively to solve a relevant issue in the rare disease community. One winner will be awarded a total of $150,000 in funding.

An estimated 85% of biomedical research funding is wasted because of inefficiencies, highlighting an opportunity to decrease waste and redundancies while increasing the impact of investments in research and development.1 This year’s question, “How can we decrease the environmental impact of the rare disease health care space and alleviate burdens for rare disease families?” seeks to find a wide variety of technology-based solutions that can address areas including, but not limited to:

  • Improving the rare disease patient diagnostic journey (reducing time, cost, etc.)
  • Enhancing efficiencies in clinical trials and research
  • Reducing single-use products and unnecessary plastics and medical/hazardous waste throughout research and manufacturing
  • Creating or promoting alternative packaging that may be reusable, recyclable or biodegradable without compromising sterility or safety
  • Optimizing the transportation of supplies and treatments by addressing shipping inefficiencies, cold storage and last-mile delivery

“This year’s Horizon Prize challenges innovators to bring forward ideas that can decrease research inefficiencies while also addressing issues that rare disease patients and their caregivers face,” said Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “We have been inspired by previous winners and look forward to the ideas that this year’s participants will bring forward.”

The 2022 Horizon Prize focused on improving quality of life for those diagnosed with rare diseases. The winner, EB Research Partnership, brought a solution that addressed real-time connectivity for patients living with the rare skin disorders Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and served as a comprehensive, centralized platform model for the larger rare disease community.

“The funding we received from the Horizon Prize in 2022 provided us with a great foundation to further advance a centralized platform for patients with EB and their caregivers,” said Michael Hund, chief executive officer, EB Research Partnership. “Creating a comprehensive digital platform for patients living with EB has been an important step to improving quality of life and enabling more real-time collaboration between patients, families and the health care providers who can help manage their treatment.”
