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.

GRAIL Presents Positive Analytical Validation Data on its Methylation-Based Post-Diagnostic Cancer Research Solution at American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2023

Analytical Study Results Show Targeted Methylation-Based Solution Has Strong Analytical Sensitivity, Specificity, Precision and Reliability in Many Solid Tumors

Research Adds to Data Supporting Potential of GRAIL’s Methylation Platform Across the Cancer Care Continuum

GRAIL, LLC, a healthcare company whose mission is to detect cancer early when it can be cured, today presented analytical validation data on its recently launched methylation-based post-diagnosis solution to accelerate cancer research (abstract LB297). Results of the analytical study demonstrated strong analytical sensitivity, specificity and precision of the tissue-free multi-cancer post-diagnosis research solution, which leverages GRAIL’s proprietary methylation platform to evaluate cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from blood. The findings were presented in a late-breaking poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2023 in Orlando, held April 14-19.

“These results are an important step in establishing the performance of our post-diagnostic methylation-based solution for cancer research,” said Jeffrey Venstrom, MD, Chief Medical Officer at GRAIL. “Current post-diagnostic cancer detection tests often require tumor tissue and are limited by their specificity to a narrow set of cancers. With GRAIL’s methylation technology, the analytical study results showed that we can detect multiple types of cancer with strong sensitivity without the need for a tissue sample. This solution is a versatile option for a range of research uses including cancer prognosis, identification of minimal residual disease and recurrence monitoring, and biomarker discovery.”

The analytical study analyzed cfDNA blood samples from cancer and non-cancer donors. Analytical sensitivity was assessed in 12 different solid tumor types. Results demonstrated a robust median limit of detection (LOD95) of 0.023% based on measures of the abnormally methylated ctDNA fraction. Analytical specificity was 98.47% and overall precision across replicates was 94.6%.

GRAIL announced the availability of its state-of-the-art research use only (RUO) targeted methylation-based solution offering for biopharmaceutical companies in January 2023. Several biopharmaceutical partners leveraged early access to the RUO technology solution.
