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.

Charles River Collaborates with Pluristyx, Expanding its Portfolio of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

The addition of ES cells and iPSCs will enhance Charles River’s portfolio of powerful research tools supporting acceleration of therapeutic development.

Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Pluristyx Inc., a leading provider of tools, technologies, and services for the development of cell therapies. The collaboration provides Charles River with broad access to highly characterized and unique stem cell lines, including high-quality embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as research tools to support development of new therapeutics.

Pluristyx offers a unique product and technology platform in the stem cell biology field for development of new therapies while reducing timelines and downstream costs. Through the agreement, Charles River will distribute Pluristyx’s wild-type and genetically engineered iPSCs as well as their comprehensive portfolio of normal and disease state ES cell lines. All of Pluristyx’s pluripotent cell lines are produced under full donor consent and the ES cell lines are registered and approved by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) making them eligible for use in NIH-funded research. Pluristyx’s iPSC panCELLaplatform includes the proprietary FailSafe® safety-switch technology enabling the development of safer, next-generation cell therapies.

Under the terms of the agreement, Charles River will distribute a broad catalog of Pluristyx’s ES and iPS cell lines for research use and will exclusively offer specific pluripotent stem cell lines derived under Good Tissue Practice to support a path to the clinic. The addition of Pluristyx’s offerings complements Charles River’s expansive portfolio of high-quality human cellular materials.

Shaping the Future of Drug and Therapeutic Development

ES and iPS cells provide a valuable tool for researchers to gain access to various types of specialized and differentiated cells that are otherwise inaccessible to study disease onset and progression and to develop a multitude of effective therapies. With its expanded portfolio of ES and iPS cell lines, Charles River enhances its position as a global leader in supplying critical human-derived biomaterials, including a wide range of immune cells and hematopoietic stem cells from both healthy donors and patients to drive advancements in stem cell biology, disease remodeling, toxicity studies, developmental biology, regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and cell therapy development.

Charles River is committed to leading the industry in identifying technologies and supporting efforts by global regulatory bodies to advance solutions that reduce the impact on in vivo research models through its 4Rs mission. The development of complex in vitro models using human-derived cells is one of many critical steps in revolutionizing therapeutic research and development. The alliance with Pluristyx provides Charles River clients access to research tools for advancing in vitro translational cell-based assays for drug discovery.
