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.

NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes Announces Supply Agreement with Nucleus RadioPharma for Alpha-emitting Therapeutic Radioisotope Actinium-225 (Ac-225)

− NorthStar’s high purity non-carrier-added (n.c.a.) Ac-225 to be used in advancing Nucleus’ partners radioligand therapies to treat cancer −

NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC, a global innovator in the development, production and commercialization of radiopharmaceuticals used for therapeutic applications and medical imaging, and Nucleus RadioPharma, a full-service Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) dedicated to building robust and reliable clinical and commercial supply chains for targeted radiotherapies, today announced the signing of a supply agreement for the therapeutic radioisotope actinium-225 (Ac-225). Under terms of the agreement, NorthStar will supply its high purity, non-carrier added (n.c.a.) Ac-225 to Nucleus. Nucleus will use NorthStar’s Ac-225 for their customers’ radioligand pharmaceutical programs.

Ac-225 is a high energy alpha-emitting radioisotope of increasing interest for clinical studies investigating the use of targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy, which combines select molecules with therapeutic radioisotopes to directly target and deliver therapeutic doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells in patients with serious disease. Ac-225 carries sufficient radiation to cause cell death in a localized area of targeted cells, while its half-life limits unwanted radioactivity in patients. Clinical research and commercial use of Ac-225 have been constrained by chronic short supply due to limitations of current production technology. NorthStar is positioned to be the first commercial-scale producer of n.c.a. Ac-225 and copper-67 (Cu-67) for advancing clinical research and commercial radiopharmaceutical therapy products. The Company will use its electron accelerator technology to produce n.c.a. Ac-225 that is free of long-lived radioactive contaminants and byproducts associated with other production methods. Such contaminants pose regulatory and waste management challenges for pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and health systems.

“NorthStar is applying the same development expertise to rapidly advance large-scale production of n.c.a. Ac-225 that has positioned us at the forefront of U.S. radioisotope production as the only national commercialized producer of the important medical radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), and we previously announced successful production of Mo-99 using electron accelerator technology,” said Frank Scholz, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes. “Progress on our dedicated, state-of-the-art Actinium-225 Production facility is on schedule. The electron accelerator is installed and initial production of radiochemical grade Ac-225 is planned in 2024. NorthStar expects to submit a Drug Master File to the FDA as quickly as possible, which, upon acceptance by the FDA, will allow NorthStar to provide cGMP grade Ac-225. We are very pleased to enter this Ac-225 supply agreement with Nucleus RadioPharma, and we look forward to working with them in their efforts to provide targeted alpha radioligand therapies for patients with cancer.”

“Nucleus was established to address the acute manufacturing scarcity of radionuclides and theranostics, which poses significant challenges to patient care and clinical trials for new radiopharmaceuticals,” said Charles S. Conroy, Chief Executive Officer of Nucleus. “We are pleased to work with NorthStar as an experienced and reliable partner in innovative, accelerator-based radioisotope production technology, and to using its n.c.a. Ac-225 to develop highly transformative treatments for patients with cancer.”
