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.

Imperative Care Announces Positive New Data Demonstrating Benefits of Zoom RDL, the First Stroke-Specific Radial Access Platform for Mechanical Thrombectomy

Early Data Published in JNIS Showcases Safety and Technical Feasibility of Zoom RDL Across a Range of Neurointerventional Procedures

Imperative Care, a medical technology company developing connected innovations to elevate care for people affected by stroke and other ischemic diseases, today announced the publication of early clinical data in the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery (JNIS) from a single-center evaluation of the Zoom™ RDL Radial Access System.

Zoom RDL is the company’s latest innovation and the first radial access platform developed specifically for ischemic stroke treatment. Zoom RDL provides neurointerventionalists with an alternative option to femoral access to treat their stroke patients, helping to enable the best possible outcome based on an individual patient’s anatomy. With an extended hydrophilic coating, optimized dilator and a long distal flexible segment, Zoom RDL is designed to provide .088” intracranial access, which has been shown to lead to faster and better reperfusion in stroke procedures.1

Data from the independent, retrospective single-center evaluation of Zoom RDL in 29 patients who underwent neurointerventional procedures from October 2022 to January 2023 were published in a paper titled, The Zoom RDL radial access system for neurointervention: An early single-center experience. Results from the evaluation, conducted by Tareq Kass-Hout, M.D., Rami Morsi, M.D., Harsh Desai, M.D., Sonam Thind, M.S.N., and other leading neurointerventionalists at the University of Chicago Medical Center, indicated the Zoom RDL Radial Access System is technically feasible and effective for complex neurointerventional procedures with low complication rates.

As part of the evaluation, Zoom RDL was used in a range of neurointerventional procedures, with 31% (9/29) of these cases being stroke thrombectomies. The primary outcome measure of the evaluation was successful access of the target vessel without the need to convert to a different guide catheter or transfemoral access. Results showed that access success was achieved in 90% (26/29) of cases, and in 100% (9/9) of stroke patients, with most cases resulting in TICI 2c reperfusion or better within one pass (67%, 6/9). There were no access site or product-related complications reported. There were two procedure-related complications, including one intracerebral hemorrhage and one intraprocedural thrombus formation.

“Adoption of transradial access for neurointerventional procedures is at an early phase with the need for additional data supporting its use. One reason behind limited adoption of transradial access, especially in mechanical thrombectomy, has been the lack of a purpose-built access catheter,” said Dr. Tareq Kass-Hout, M.D., lead author of the paper and Director of Neuroendovascular Surgery at University of Chicago Medicine. “Zoom RDL fulfills this need as the first radial access catheter platform built specifically for stroke, with an inner diameter that accommodates large bore aspiration catheters and the provided ability to navigate the intracranial ICA from the radial artery.”

“We are pleased to see early evidence support the use of Zoom RDL in helping physicians successfully achieve radial access in patients who might not be candidates for femoral access,” said Ariel Sutton, General Manager of Imperative Care’s Stroke business. “Our patient-first portfolio includes two options for intracranial access, Zoom 88 for femoral access and Zoom RDL for radial access, empowering clinicians to choose the best option for their patients based on their anatomy. We look forward to future results that underscore the value of the Zoom Stroke Solution in helping physicians take more control over their stroke thrombectomies for quicker, more efficient procedures.”

About the Zoom Stroke Solution

The Zoom Stroke Solution is the complete stroke system from access through reperfusion for fast and effective clot removal for patients with acute ischemic stroke. The system includes the Zoom 88 Large Distal Platform for neurovascular access, four vessel-matched Zoom Aspiration Catheters, the Zoom Pump, the Zoom POD and accessories. All Zoom catheters are designed with the TRX™ Tip which provides 15% greater clot engagement area at the tip of the catheter2 and are designed to enable smooth tracking through challenging vasculature.
