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.

Vanderbilt Health Performs First Successful Kidney Transplant Using New Organ Preservation Technology

Vanderbilt University Hospital becomes first hospital in Tennessee to adopt advanced preservation technology for kidney transplantation to expand the donor pool

Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a leader in organ preservation technology, and Vanderbilt Health, one of the oldest and largest kidney transplant programs in the country, are proud to announce the successful transplantation of a donor kidney using the Paragonix KidneyVault™ Renal Perfusion System. The FDA-cleared portable hypothermic perfusion technology is designed to preserve and transport donor kidneys. Vanderbilt is the first in Tennessee, and one of the first in the entire Southeast to use this innovative system for kidney transport.

The adoption of KidneyVault is the latest advancement in Vanderbilt’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in the organ transplantation process. By pioneering new approaches, Vanderbilt is able to serve more patients, including high-risk patients who may not be candidates at other medical centers.

“We used the technology for transport and pumping and were satisfied with the overall feel and appearance of the kidney at the time of reperfusion,” said Christian Crannell, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Kidney & Pancreas Transplantation. “We also appreciated knowing where the kidney was during transport and knowing the organ temperature.”

More than 106,000 patients are currently on the national transplant waitlist in the U.S., with 86% waiting for a kidney. Expanding donor pools and optimizing available resources is critical. Hypothermic machine perfusion has shown significant benefits for kidney transplants. KidneyVault’s compact and easy-to-transport design combines proven perfusion techniques with advanced digital monitoring, ensuring donor kidneys arrive in optimal condition and improving the process from donation to recipient.

“Paragonix is committed to expanding access to donor organs and improving patient outcomes, and we’re thrilled to see Vanderbilt Health introduce KidneyVault to its community,” said Lisa Anderson, Ph.D., President of Paragonix Technologies. “Innovations like KidneyVault enable transplant centers to accept organs from greater distances and with more logistical complexity than ever before. We look forward to empowering the clinical community to maximize the use of Paragonix devices, giving every donor kidney the best chance to reach a patient in need.”
