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.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces the Only Fully Automated Plasmid Purification System to Help Accelerate Discovery and Development of Therapies

Thermo Scientific™ KingFisher™ PlasmidPro prepares high purity plasmid DNA in approximately 75 minutes, half the traditional process time and without the need for centrifugation

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced the Thermo Scientific™ KingFisher™ PlasmidPro Maxi Processor* (PlasmidPro), the only fully automated maxi-scale plasmid DNA (pDNA) purification system. PlasmidPro enables innovation at scale, providing complete automation across mini and maxi scale purification and delivering high-purity plasmid without manual column preparation and intervention. This is the latest addition to the Thermo Scientific KingFisher instrument portfolio which offers a wide range of plasmid DNA extraction products to help drive efficiency and consistency.

Globally, there are approximately 1,700 clinical trials for cell and gene therapies.1 In recent years, plasmids have been instrumental in the development of cell and gene therapies, monoclonal antibody therapies and mRNA therapies and vaccines. Plasmids are commonly used in a variety of molecular biology applications, including transfection, protein expression, gene therapy, DNA sequencing, and vaccine development. They are a critical laboratory tool that can act as a carrier to deliver desired genes or DNA fragments into target cells.

“With the rapidly growing demand for plasmid DNA purification for emerging therapies, we are proud to accelerate the purification process with a ‘press and go’ solution,” said Amy Butler, president, biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “By fully automating a critical step in plasmid DNA manufacturing, the PlasmidPro DNA purification system can give time back to our customers to focus on their research and bringing life-saving therapies and vaccines to patients.”

The PlasmidPro purification system requires no set-up, centrifugation or pipetting and completely automates the purification process from culture to plasmid. The product uses a self-contained cartridge pre-filled with all necessary reagents to perform the purification, eliminating the need for additional instrumentation and plastics while minimizing set-up time and contamination risks. Using 100-150 mL of fresh overnight culture, the system is capable of producing up to 1.5 mg DNA yield.
