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.

Neogen® Expands its Pathogen Portfolio and Environmental Monitoring Solutions with a New Rapid Test for Listeria

Company Unveils Listeria Right Now™ at IAFP 2025, Delivering Actionable Results in Two Hours

Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) today announced the launch of Molecular Detection Assay - Listeria Right Now™, a rapid, enrichment-free solution for detecting Listeria species in the environment. The new tool is being introduced at the 2025 International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) Annual Meeting, taking place July 27–30 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

With a time-to-result of approximately two hours, Listeria Right Now helps enable food safety professionals to make faster, more informed sanitation decisions without compromising accuracy or requiring complex laboratory infrastructure.

“When it comes to Listeria, every hour counts. Listeria Right Now was designed to give food safety teams answers fast enough to act before a risk becomes a recall,” said Dr. Jason Lilly, Chief Scientific Officer at Neogen. “The method is precise, practical, and easy to deploy. We’re excited to show how it can strengthen environmental monitoring programs in real-world settings.”

Key Benefits of Listeria Right Now

  • Streamlined, user-friendly testing process
  • Delivers results in approximately two hours
  • No enrichment required
  • Uniquely designed sampling device that is easy to use for a variety of surface types
  • Enables same-day verification and corrective response within two hours

Built for Efficiency from Start to Finish

Listeria Right Now pairs a user-friendly sample collection device designed to efficiently swab surfaces up to 12”x 12” and access narrow cracks and crevices, with an innovative reagent system. Each reaction tube includes blue, color-coded pellets that contain all of the reagents necessary for detection. These pellets reconstitute easily when pipetted, helping to streamline lab workflow and improve consistency.

Listeria Right Now is powered by Neogen’s Molecular Detection System, which features intuitive software, color-coded assays for better tracking, and the ability to test up to 96 samples per run. The system supports simultaneous testing across multiple qualitative assays, enabling labs to maintain workflow flexibility without added complexity.

Solving Real-World Food Safety Challenges

Traditional Listeria detection methods often require 24 to 48 hours and may involve multiple tools depending on surface type and testing needs. For processors in dairy, produce, beef, and ready-to-eat segments, these delays can disrupt workflows and elevate contamination risk. Listeria Right Now simplifies the detection process and enables interventions to happen during the same production shift.

Built for global applicability, Listeria Right Now offers a practical, high-impact solution for diverse food production environments worldwide, while also supporting the evolving regulatory expectations around Listeria monitoring in the U.S.

Live Demonstrations at IAFP 2025

Neogen will be showcasing Listeria Right Now at Booth #511 at IAFP 2025. Attendees can experience live demonstrations and speak with Neogen experts about how the system complements the company’s broader food safety diagnostics portfolio.
