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.

Bayer Initiates Phase II Study of Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Activator (BAY3283142) in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

  • Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator is being studied in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with potential implications for cardiovascular disease treatment
  • CKD is a progressive condition affecting more than 10% of the global population, totaling approximately 850 million individuals
  • Phase II study aims to address the unmet medical needs of chronic kidney disease patients and has potential to improve outcomes in related cardiovascular conditions through innovative sGC modulation

Bayer announced today the start of ALPINE-1 study, a Phase II clinical trial with BAY3283142, an investigational soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The results of this study have the potential to provide evidence of the sGC activator as a viable treatment option for cardiovascular diseases.

CKD is a progressive condition that affects more than 10% of the global population, totaling approximately 850 million individuals. It is a common and potentially deadly condition that is widely underrecognized. It progresses silently and unpredictably, with many symptoms not appearing until the disease is well-advanced. CKD is one of the most frequent complications arising from diabetes and is also an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease.

“This study marks a significant step forward in our commitment to addressing the high unmet medical need in this patient population and advancing our innovative approach to treat renal disease,” said Dr. Christian Rommel, Head of Research and Development at Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division. “In addition, this further strengthens our overall development portfolio. We are dedicated to advancing the development of BAY3283142 to improve outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease and related cardiovascular conditions."

"The change in demography tells us that we are living longer in the future, and people want to spend this time in good health, with healthy kidneys," said Prof. Christoph Wanner, Senior Professor of Medicine in the Department of Clinical Studies and Epidemiology, University Hospital of Würzburg and Co-Chair of the ALPINE-1 study. "The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as one of the top 10 leading causes of mortality underscores the pressing need for effective treatment options. The evaluation of the sGC activator in patients with CKD holds promise in addressing a critical unmet medical need in patient care."

Following the successful first-in-human trials, the goal of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase II ALPINE-1 study is to assess the efficacy and safety of BAY3283142 in patients with chronic kidney disease. BAY3283142 is a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator that represents an innovative approach to modulating the nitric oxide (NO)-soluable guanylate cyclase (sGC)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway with a broad treatment potential in cardiovascular diseases.
