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 Acquires Sigsense, Creator of AI-Enabled Lab Operations Technology

Technology helps high-throughput labs operate more efficiently

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced it has acquired Sigsense Technologies, a San Francisco, California-based startup that uses artificial intelligence and power monitoring to help optimize lab operations. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Sigsense technology is already available to Agilent customers through CrossLab Connect, a suite of digital applications—inventory management, service management, asset monitoring, smart alerts, and asset lifecycle analytics—that improve lab performance.

Integrated into the Agilent CrossLab Connect asset monitoring solution, Sigsense’s algorithm tracks instrument utilization and status across all scientific assets, regardless of vendor or manufacturer. The operational insights collected from the technology alert lab managers of assets that are underperforming and how to optimize them.

“We are excited to welcome the Sigsense team to Agilent. They are an innovator in leveraging artificial intelligence for lab operations,” said Armin Jehle, vice president, Agilent CrossLab Services Division. “By working closely as one team, we will extend their AI technology further, enabling more customers to gain more insights that contribute to reduced downtime and increased productivity.”

Asset monitoring is particularly important for commercial labs with large instrument fleets, intense testing schedules, and quick turnaround times.

CrossLab Connect monitors a wide range of instruments, including chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, liquid handlers and plate readers, flow cytometry, centrifuges, NMR, sequencers, PCR, and more.

With this transaction, Sigsense employees, IP, and assets are now part of the Agilent CrossLab Group. Additional information for customers of Sigsense is available here.
