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.

Novocure Announces Presence at American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2023 Annual Meeting

By: via Business Wire

Novocure (NASDAQ: NVCR) today announced its participation in the upcoming American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2023 Annual Meeting from October 1 – 4 in San Diego. Presentations will describe preclinical, clinical and simulation modeling studies on Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy, including new insights about methods to optimize TTFields intensities delivered at the target tumor during treatment.

Highlights of Novocure’s poster presentations include:

  • a new process to identify optimized, personalized TTFields array layouts for each patient with glioblastoma (GBM) using segmentation-based treatment planning (SBTP) software



  • retrospective, simulated testing of SBTP to compare outputs from array layouts generated with SBTP versus array layouts generated with NovoTAL, the current standard treatment planning software, with results suggesting that SBTP-generated layouts meet established treatment thresholds for TTFields therapy, and could potentially lead to improved clinical outcomes for patients with GBM



  • a simulation study evaluating the effects of body mass index (BMI) on field intensities delivered to the lungs with TTFields therapy. Results support the feasibility of TTFields therapy delivery to the lungs regardless of BMI and highlight the importance of choosing the appropriate array size for each patient.

“We are committed to continuous innovation, and we look forward to sharing new insights about the use of TTFields therapy with the scientific community,” said Pritesh Shah, Novocure’s Chief Growth Officer. “By developing segmentation-based treatment planning software to optimize array placement and exploring how factors such as array size affect the delivery of TTFields therapy, we aim to advance our therapy as we pursue our mission to extend survival in some of the most aggressive forms of cancer.”

Presentations on TTFields at the 2023 ASTRO Annual Meeting will include:

  • The Effect of Body Mass Index on Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) Intensity Distribution in the Lungs. Presenter: Nadav Shapira. 4:45 p.m. – 6 p.m. PT on Sunday, Oct. 1.



  • Patient-Specific Segmentation-Based Treatment Planning vs. NovoTAL for TTFields Therapy in Glioblastoma. Presenter: Brian Berger. 10:45 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT on Monday, Oct. 2.



  • Retrospective Review of the Factors Limiting Optune Initiation in GBM patients. Presenter: Luis Carranza Pena. 10:45 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT on Monday, Oct. 2.



  • Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in the Real World for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma: A Survival Meta-analysis With Systematic Review. Presenter: Matthew Ballo. 10:45 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT on Monday, Oct. 2.



  • Compatibility of Topical Products to Manage Skin Irritation Associated With TTFields. Presenter: Narasimha Kumar Karanam. 2:30 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. PT on Tuesday, Oct. 3.



  • A Working TTFields Therapy Framework for Patient-Specific Segmentation-Based Treatment Planning and Dosimetry. Presenter: Brian Berger. 12:30 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 4.



  • Alternating Tumor Treating Fields Layouts for Effective Treatment of the Epigastric Region. Presenter: Nadav Shapira. 12:30 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

About Tumor Treating Fields Therapy

Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that exert physical forces to kill cancer cells via a variety of mechanisms. TTFields do not significantly affect healthy cells because they have different properties (including division rate, morphology, and electrical properties) than cancer cells. The multiple, distinct mechanisms of TTFields therapy work together to selectively target and kill cancer cells. Due to its multimechanistic actions, TTFields therapy can be added to cancer treatment modalities in approved indications and demonstrates enhanced effects across solid tumor types when used with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibition, or PARP inhibition in preclinical models. TTFields therapy provides clinical versatility that has the potential to help address treatment challenges across a range of solid tumors.
