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.

Stryker Expands Prophecy® Surgical Planning System to Include the New Footprint™, Offering Surgeons a Comprehensive View of the Foot and Ankle

By: via Business Wire

Stryker’s Footprint and Infinity Total Ankle System will be featured at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons Annual Meeting

Stryker (NYSE: SYK), a global leader in medical technologies, today announced the launch of Prophecy Footprint, an expansion of the Prophecy Surgical Planning system, offering comprehensive surgical planning across the entire foot. The system will be demonstrated at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) Annual Meeting, Tampa Bay, Fla., Feb. 1-4 (booth #919).

The launch of Prophecy Footprint also coincides with the tenth anniversary of Stryker’s Infinity Total Ankle System, a low-profile implant indicated for total ankle replacement in patients with end-stage ankle arthritis. Since its launch in 2014, the Infinity Total Ankle System has been featured in multiple studies, with the largest series demonstrating 98.8% survivorship at the two-year mark.1

"Our total ankle and enabling technology portfolios are an incredible example of Stryker's legacy and its commitment to surgeon-driven innovation and enhanced patient care," said Patrick Fisher, vice president and general manager of Stryker’s Foot & Ankle business. “Celebrating a decade of remarkable success, Infinity continues to reflect our commitment to the highest levels of performance. The latest addition to our enabling technology portfolio, Prophecy Footprint, marks a significant milestone as one of the first surgical planning systems that addresses the complexities of the entire foot.” *

With 70% of patients receiving additional procedures at the time of total ankle arthroplasty2, assessing the entire foot is essential for understanding a patient-specific procedural approach. Prophecy Footprint elevates surgical planning by providing comprehensive procedural considerations that address concomitant pathology at the time of total ankle arthroplasty.

“Prophecy Footprint offers surgeons more detailed and comprehensive planning capabilities, especially crucial in complex ankle arthroplasty cases," said Dr. Hodges Davis, medical director for Stryker’s Foot and Ankle business. “It enables a more integrated approach and facilitates a more complete view of the foot around the ankle, enhancing the surgical planning experience for surgeons and, as always, the ultimate goal is better clinical outcomes for our patients.”

Prophecy Surgical Planning system’s history of innovation and success includes:

  • Over 60,000 ankle procedures planned globally since 20123
  • Achieving 100% post-op neutral alignment4
  • Saving an average of 38 minutes in the OR5
  • Delivering an average of $2,500 in cost savings6

Stryker’s Foot & Ankle business will be showcasing Prophecy Footprint at the ACFAS meeting. The event will feature an engaging didactic session titled “Advancements in Surgical Planning for Total Ankle Replacement,” led by Dr. Davis and Randy Clements, DPM, that will explore how Prophecy Footprint provides insights into potential ancillary procedures, contributing to the success of total ankle replacements.7
