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.

Bruker to Launch Beacon Discovery™ at AACR 2025, Expanding Access to Live Single-Cell Functional Analysis

A Compact Benchtop Optofluidic System with Lower Cost of Ownership for Broader Research Accessibility

Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the launch of the Beacon Discovery™ Optofluidic System at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025. This new Beacon benchtop system offers an accessible entry point into live single-cell functional analysis.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250424150192/en/

Beacon Discovery – an accessible, compact system for live single-cell functional analysis

Beacon Discovery – an accessible, compact system for live single-cell functional analysis

Building on Bruker’s proprietary Opto-Electrical Positioning (OEP) technology and scalable OptoSelect™ microfluidic chips, Beacon Discovery complements the floor-standing premium Beacon® platforms. All Beacon systems precisely isolate, control, and analyze single cells within Nanopens using machine learning-driven automation and OEP. Researchers can conduct multi-parameter and temporal functional analysis over days or weeks, combining live-cell imaging with sequential assays. Cells can then be recovered for downstream transcriptomic and genomic analysis, enabling a unique linkage between functional insights and sequencing data from the same cell.

While the existing higher-throughput Beacon platforms focus on fully automated therapeutic antibody discovery and cell line development for pharma and CROs, the new single-chip Beacon Discovery prioritizes ease of use and flexibility with an intuitive user interface and customizable workflows for translational research in academic and biotech laboratories.

With a substantially reduced cost of ownership and lower running costs, Beacon Discovery lowers the barrier to entry for researchers and core labs exploring immuno-oncology, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and immune profiling for regenerative medicine, antibody and T Cell Receptor (TCR) discovery, and cell therapy development.

One of the Beacon Discovery early-access users, Dr. Joseph Zenga, MD, Associate Professor and Division Chief at the Medical College of Wisconsin, highlighted the platform’s impact: "Having used the Beacon platform for years, we have seen firsthand how it transforms TCR discovery for cancer immunotherapy. Its automated workflows and novel multi-parameter temporal analysis allow precise characterization of tumor antigen-specific T cells, accelerating the identification of potent therapeutic candidates from patient tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). With the new Beacon Discovery, this powerful technology is now within reach for many more individual and core labs in academia and industry."

"Beacon Discovery is redefining live single-cell functional analysis, as demonstrated by numerous Beacon based publications in leading journals," said Vikram Devgan, PhD, Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management, Bruker Cellular Analysis. "With a much lower entry price and enhanced ease of use, we are breaking down barriers and setting new standards in single-cell functional characterization. This platform enables deep biological insights across a broad range of applications, empowering R&D and translational researchers in pharma, biotech, and academia to accelerate novel B and T cell therapeutic development and biomarker research."

The platform is now open for pre-orders, with commercial shipments expected later in 2025. For an early preview of how this cutting-edge platform may reveal novel insights of your biology, Bruker is launching a Technology Access Program (TAP), allowing researchers to submit samples to Bruker Cellular Analysis for evaluation on the Beacon Discovery system.

Join us at AACR 2025, Booth #803, to experience Beacon Discovery firsthand. Don’t miss our workshop, "Introducing Beacon Discovery: Bringing Live Single-Cell Multi-Parameter Functional Analysis to Every Lab," on April 27th at 3:30 PM CST. More details are available at The Beacon® Discovery - Bruker Cellular Analysis.
