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.

Agilent 2023 Early Career Professor Award Presented to Ajit Divakaruni

UCLA scientist recognized for research developing live cell analytical tools to advance bioprocess and biomanufacturing applications

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced today that Ajit Divakaruni, Ph.D., has received the Agilent 2023 Early Career Professor Award. Dr. Divakaruni is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

The 2023 award focused on contributions to developing live cell analytical tools to identify and measure novel critical quality attributes to advance biomanufacturing applications. Dr. Divakaruni’s interest in developing cell-based metabolic assays to guide CAR-T cell manufacturing and bioprocess development strongly aligns with Agilent’s increasing attention to developing solutions that support immunotherapies and other cell-based therapies.

The Divakaruni lab focuses on how energy metabolism and metabolic flexibility – the ability to switch between sugar, amino acid, and fatty acid oxidation in response to biological cues – can control cell function and fate. This research aims to discover novel regulatory points of metabolism and develop mitochondrial proteins and pathways as therapeutic drug targets.

“I am honored and beyond grateful to have been selected as this year’s recipient of the Agilent Early Career Professor Award. It is a privilege to be recognized for our work in developing mitochondrial and metabolic assays to help guide early-stage drug development and inform cell-based therapeutics,” said Dr. Divakaruni. “Real-time, microplate-based assays have been central to the resurgent interest in cellular metabolism, and these will continue to be at the forefront as we continue to learn even more about how mitochondria and metabolism can shape cell function.”

“Dr. Divakaruni’s innovative research is expanding the basic science of understanding how cell metabolism can be a driver of cell function and fate and has also made critical contributions to live cell measurement tools that elevate researchers in this field,” said Chong Wing Yung, associate director of University Relations and External Research at Agilent. “We are proud to further engage with Dr. Divakaruni and support his future research endeavors, including analytical technologies for bioprocess and biomanufacturing applications.”

Dr. Divakaruni’s current work includes studying the crosstalk between metabolism and innate immunity and examining how adjusting the balance between sugar, fat, and amino acid oxidation can affect metabolic and neurological disease. The development and refinement of functional mitochondrial measurements are central to this work, and the Divakaruni lab emphasizes protocols and ‘roadmap’ manuscripts that may assist other researchers as they plan their experiments.

Future directions of Dr. Divakaruni’s research include developing novel cell-based metabolic assays to guide CAR-T cell bioprocess development and biomanufacturing. As critical quality attributes for producing efficacious cell therapies are still poorly defined, his expertise in cell metabolism and cell analysis will play a key role in helping to define these standards.

The Agilent Early Career Professor Award is an annual program that recognizes and supports promising research from professors who, early in their careers, show outstanding potential for future research in areas of importance to the communities Agilent serves. This award underscores Agilent's commitment to furthering research through the company's products and services, financial support, and collaborative engagement by Agilent scientists and engineers. Further information about the program is available at Agilent.com.
