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 Companion Diagnostic Assay PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx Receives European IVDR Certification

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the issuing of a Class C companion diagnostic In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) certification for PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx (Code SK005). This CDx assay has previously been CE-IVD–marked for sales in the European Union and is now certified in accordance with the new EU Regulation for in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR) 1. PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx is approved for exclusive use with the Agilent Autostainer Link 48 advanced staining solution.

Agilent’s PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx (Code SK005) provides clinically relevant information about PD-L1 expression – a critical biomarker for potential response to therapies containing anti-PD-1 antibodies such as OPDIVO® (nivolumab) which has demonstrated therapeutic value across growing list of cancer types and OpdualagTM (nivolumab and relatimab).

PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx (Code SK005) has received European IVDR certification for nine cancer indications, including five companion diagnostic indications; non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC), melanoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Simon May, senior vice president of Agilent’s Life Sciences and Diagnostics Markets Group, commented on this important achievement: “The IVDR certification of PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx as a Class C-CDx device is critical to our CDx assays and enhances the confidence of healthcare professionals and patients in the EU by showing that these medical devices can be safely relied upon.”

Companion diagnostic (CDx) assays are medical devices used to help identify patients most likely to benefit from a specific drug treatment, thus offering key clinical support for the enablement of appropriate medicines. Access to IVDR-compliant CDx ensures that laboratories in the EU, who rely on Agilent products in their diagnostic workflows, can continue to use those products without disruption.

OPDIVO® is a registered trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company; OpdualagTM is a trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
