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 Expands Clinical Research Laboratory in Kentucky

The PPD clinical research business will nearly double its laboratory footprint in northern Kentucky, add more than 250 jobs

The PPD clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the expansion of its central laboratory operations in Kentucky dedicated to accelerating pharmaceutical and biotech customers’ delivery of safe, effective medicines to patients.

The business will expand its sample management and biorepository operations in a new 65,000-square-foot space in Covington, enabling further capability expansion at its existing site in nearby Highland Heights. Thermo Fisher’s $47.8 million investment is expected to create more than 250 new jobs across the two sites over the next eight years, with renovation and construction anticipated to begin later this year.

The PPD clinical research business has operated a central lab operation in Highland Heights since 2002, and today it includes central lab services, biomarker operations, sample management and testing to support new therapeutics, including vaccines and cell and gene therapy products. The renovation of an existing building on West 38th Street in Covington will significantly expand the business’ labs footprint.

“Our central lab plays a vital role in helping our customers make timely, efficient and informed decisions about their clinical trials and ensure patient safety,” said Leon Wyszkowski, president, analytical services, clinical research, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Our expansion will enhance their ability to advance life-changing research. We are excited to expand into Covington and grow our operations in Highland Heights as a vital part of our global labs capabilities serving our customers. We value the support of state and local officials as we continue to hire talented colleagues to advance our company’s Mission to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.”

“The commonwealth is seeing tremendous growth in its health care and life-sciences sectors, providing high-paying, quality jobs for Kentucky residents across the state,” said Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear. “I am thrilled to see Thermo Fisher once again choose Kentucky to locate and expand its business. I look forward to the company’s continued success here in the commonwealth as this continued investment will be a welcomed addition to the Northern Kentucky region.”

The Highland Heights central lab, which employs more than 600 analytical laboratory staff, scientific and support professionals, and Ph.D.-level scientists, offers safety testing including automated chemistry, urinalysis and hematology, anatomic pathology, flow cytometry, microbiology and molecular assays. The central lab also offers a wide variety of other services, such as clinical sample management, processing and storage, kit design and preparation for collection of clinical samples, and sample testing services. The biomarker lab provides support for regulated biomarkers with immunoassays, flow cytometry and molecular assays.

In addition to the Highland Heights facility, Thermo Fisher’s clinical research business has biomarker and central labs in Brussels, Belgium, and Singapore; bioanalytical, biomarker and vaccine sciences labs in Richmond, Virginia; bioanalytical and good manufacturing practices (GMP) labs in Middleton, Wisconsin; a GMP lab in Athlone, Ireland; and bioanalytical, biomarker, vaccine sciences and central labs in Suzhou, China.
