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.

Imperative Care Secures FDA Clearance and Initial Cases of the Zoom 7X Catheter, the Newest Innovation in Ischemic Stroke Treatment

Zoom 7X is the first catheter to feature CenTRX Technology for enhanced navigation and asymmetric clot ingestion in stroke procedures

Imperative Care, Inc. today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance and first patient cases with the latest advancement in ischemic stroke treatment – the novel Zoom 7X Catheter for aspiration thrombectomy procedures.

The newest addition to the company’s comprehensive Zoom Stroke System, the Zoom 7X Catheter is the first catheter to incorporate CenTRX™ Technology, a unique 96-degree pre-shaped tip designed to center in the vessel, maximizing clot ingestion with the extra surface area of the asymmetric tip. This proprietary feature allows the device to navigate challenging anatomy and self-orient the geometric tip into the optimal position for full clot aspiration, building upon the benefits of asymmetric aspiration in stroke.

“Based on direct feedback from physicians, the Zoom 7X Catheter was developed to address the need for even greater trackability, navigation and asymmetric clot ingestion,” said Ariel Sutton, General Manager of Imperative Care Stroke. “Zoom 7X builds upon our comprehensive system of stroke technologies with the goal of making the procedure faster, safer and more efficient than ever before. The launch of Zoom 7X, paired with the recent introduction of the Continuous Dual Aspiration Technique (CDAT) with Zoom DuoPort, advances the field one step closer to making TICI 3 in 10 minutes the expectation for physicians,” added Sutton.

“I’ve seen significant benefit in using a shaped asymmetric tip for my stroke procedures,” said Dr. Jacob Cherian, M.D., University of Maryland. “I believe the tip of Zoom 7X allows the catheter to self-orient from within the center of the vessel for enhanced trackability. This capability, along with a full system approach from .088” intracranial access to complete clot ingestion, has helped further streamline my procedures. I’m encouraged to see Imperative Care respond to feedback from the physician community to engineer a solution that I expect will bring notable improvements to procedure efficiency and speed.”

“Based on my early experience with Zoom 7X, I anticipate this new tip configuration will help reduce the need for extra devices and simplify my thrombectomy procedures, leading to faster access and case times. Having new options to access and navigate challenging anatomy is key to making stroke treatment fast and reliable,” said Dr. Keith Woodward, M.D., Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville, Tenn.

About the Zoom Products

The Zoom System is designed to be a complete stroke system from access through reperfusion for fast and effective clot removal in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke.
