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.

Personalis Announces Medicare Coverage for NeXT Dx(R) Comprehensive Genomic Tumor Profiling Assay

NeXT Dx helps clinicians make informed, personalized cancer treatment selections and match patients with clinical trials

Access to NeXT Dx expands to the 66 million Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries

Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for precision oncology, today announced it has received a final Medicare coverage determination for its NeXT Dx ultra-comprehensive tumor genomic profiling assay, providing access for the nation’s 66 million Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.

Matching patients to their optimal cancer therapy requires a testing platform that can accurately report a broader range of clinically actionable genomic alterations. NeXT Dx analyzes a tumor’s entire exome (DNA) and transcriptome (RNA) to uncover deeper insights into therapy selection, including RNA-based fusions and advanced biomarkers that smaller panels might miss, such as tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI). In addition, NeXT Dx utilizes paired tumor and non-tumor samples to report more accurate results.

Coverage for NeXT DX was extended effective August 29, 2023, under the Palmetto GBA MolDx program foundational Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L38119 (“Next-Generation Sequencing for Solid Tumors”). Personalis estimates that approximately half of new solid tumor cancer cases will be diagnosed in patients covered by Medicare.

“We are thrilled to receive our first coverage determination with our ultra-comprehensive NeXT Dx test, which offers treating physicians a better chance of finding an FDA-approved therapy or clinical trial for patients with advanced cancer,” said Chris Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer at Personalis. “With our recent early access launch of the ultra-sensitive NeXT Personal Dx test, which is designed to detect molecular residual disease and cancer recurrence, we continue our momentum in offering products that provide deep genomic insights throughout a cancer patient’s entire journey.”

About Personalis

At Personalis, we are transforming the active management of cancer through breakthrough personalized testing. We aim to drive a new paradigm for cancer management, guiding care from biopsy through the life of the patient. Our highly sensitive assays combine tumor-and-normal profiling with proprietary algorithms to deliver advanced insights even as cancer evolves over time. Our products are designed to detect MRD and recurrence at the earliest timepoints, enable selection of targeted therapies based on ultra-comprehensive genomic profiling, and enhance biomarker strategy for drug development. Personalis is based in Fremont, California. To learn more, visit www.personalis.com and connect with us on LinkedIn and X (Twitter).
