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.

The University of Maryland Medical Center Chooses SOPHiA GENETICS Technology

SOPHiA GENETICS supports The University of Maryland Medical Center to advance their rare disease research

SOPHiA GENETICS (Nasdaq: SOPH), a cloud-native software company in the healthcare space and a leader in data-driven medicine, today announced that the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) is using SOPHiA GENETICS technology to enhance their capabilities around rare disease detection and treatment. UMMC has chosen SOPHiA Whole Exome Solution™ v2, a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based application that provides a streamlined end-to-end workflow, to accelerate its rare and inherited disease research.

Rare diseases are estimated to affect over 30 million people in the United States, with more than 10,000 genetic and rare diseases currently known.1 NGS of the human exome analyzes exons, the protein-coding regions of the human genome, and has the potential to help detect and identify rare diseases. While whole-exome sequencing is reliable and cost-effective, it produces vast and complex genomic data sets. The SOPHiA Whole Exome Solution™ v2 is designed to aid users in sorting and analyzing these complex data sets.

The implementation of SOPHiA Whole Exome Solution ™ v2 will support UMMC’s work in furthering research of the rare diseases that are affecting millions of people each year. In addition, the technology will allow UMMC to deepen its in-house knowledge, making it faster for researchers to identify and categorize rare diseases.

The SOPHiA Whole Exome Solution™ v2 targets nuclear genes and the full mitochondrial genome. Coupled with the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform, the solution uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze and interpret the data, increasing efficiency for researchers.

“UMMC’s implementation of SOPHiA Whole Exome Solution™ v2 will help to further our work at SOPHiA GENETICS to make data-driven medicine more accessible for patients worldwide,” said Ken Freedman, Chief Revenue Officer, SOPHiA GENETICS. “The identification of rare diseases is complex, timely and costly. Our technology is designed to ease the burden for researchers and allow them to more thoroughly and quickly analyze complex datasets, benefitting the rare disease community as a whole.”

As part of their research, UMMC will work to characterize the genetic basis of inherited rare disorders, including mitochondrial variants. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cause a diverse range of diseases affecting a substantial portion of the rare disease community.2 NGS of the mitochondrial genome, alongside the exome, is therefore valuable in rare disease research. SOPHiA DDM™ Platform’s sophisticated algorithms will help to address the unique challenges associated with the mitochondrial genome and further expedite the work of researchers at UMMC.
