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.

Record-breaking Donor Heart Transplant Utilizing the Paragonix SherpaPak®

By: via Business Wire

Massachusetts General Hospital utilized Paragonix device to transport a donor heart from Alaska to Massachusetts, setting a new record for the longest distance a donor heart has successfully traveled for heart transplant surgery

Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a leading organ transplant company, announces a milestone achievement with Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA) successfully accessing a donor heart over a total of 2,506 nautical miles away using the Paragonix SherpaPak® Cardiac Transport System. Beginning in Juneau, Alaska, and ending in Boston, Massachusetts, the procurement distance beats previous records in distance to safely deliver a donor heart to a recipient.

Recent policy changes in the U.S. organ allocation system have provided for improved efficiency, fairness and equity, and have also led to a concomitant increased need to protect donor organs over broader geographic distances. Conventional ice-based methods of transporting organs over greater geographic distances bear the risk of organ damage, such as due to exposure to temperatures at or below freezing. Advanced Organ Preservation with the FDA-cleared Paragonix SherpPak® Cardiac Transport System is designed to protect organs during transport.

“Traditionally, the longer an organ spends between donors, the greater the risk of complications,” said Dr. David D’Alessandro, MD, Surgical Director, Heart Transplant Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Five years ago, I could never have imagined this journey being possible. The fact that we were able to transport this organ safely and successfully over such a long distance is a testament to the value of Advanced Organ Preservation and the dedication of everyone involved. By continuing to push the boundaries in this area, we can help to ensure that more patients in need have access to life-saving donor organs, regardless of where they are located.”

The Paragonix SherpaPak® Cardiac Transport System is an FDA-cleared and CE-marked Advanced Organ Preservation device specifically designed to control donor heart preservation, providing physicians with stable temperature maintenance technology. The transport in the device is accompanied by real-time data monitoring and supported by HIPAA-compliant communication channels via the Paragonix mobile App. The Paragonix SherpaPak® has protected close to 3,000 donor hearts and has been adopted by over 80 transplant centers worldwide.

“With the shortage of organs available for transplant, and an ever-growing number of patients on the wait list, it is critical that we enable centers to access organs from as many geographies as possible,” said Dr. Lisa Anderson, CEO and President of Paragonix Technologies. “We are so proud to have aided the team at MGH in this monumental case that has allowed them to bring a life-saving heart from over 2,500 miles to a patient in their care.”

Disclaimer or Indications of Use for the Paragonix SherpaPak Cardiac Transport System

The Paragonix SherpaPak® Cardiac Transport System is intended to be used for the static hypothermic preservation of hearts during transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient using cold storage solutions indicated for use with the heart.

The intended organ storage time for the Paragonix SherpaPak® Cardiac Transport System is up to 4 hours. Donor hearts exceeding clinically accepted static hypothermic preservation times should be evaluated by the transplant surgeon to determine transplantability in accordance with accepted clinical guidelines and in the best medical interest of the intended recipient.
