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.

Aptar’s First Nasal Pump Made with 52% Bio-based Material* now Available with Haleon’s Otrivin® Brand

By: via Business Wire

The Freepod® nasal spray pump, globally used with the Otrivin® brand, is now made from 52% bio-based feedstock

Aptar Pharma, a global leader in drug delivery and active material science solutions and services, is proud to announce that its Freepod® nasal spray pump - one of the delivery systems for Haleon's Otrivin® brand - is now made with mass balance bio-based resins. This is the first Aptar delivery system using such materials to be commercialized globally. The use of more sustainable renewable plastic resources is a meaningful measure to help reduce the use of fossil-based materials in healthcare primary packaging.

Reinforcing circularity in pharmaceutical packaging

Aptar Pharma’s Freepod® spray pump used with Haleon’s Otrivin® Nasal Spray is made of 52% ISCC Plus certified bio-based feedstock. The bottle is produced using a mass balance approach equivalent to 100% bio-based content. Together, the pump and bottle components result in an overall circular material content of 60% for the full nasal spray device.

ISCC PLUS certified manufacturing and supply chain

Aptar Pharma is committed to helping its customers meet their sustainability goals, such as reducing the use of fossil-based materials in packaging. The Freepod® nasal spray components are made from bio-based resins derived from renewable feedstocks like bio-waste and residual oils, using an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach. The Aptar Pharma manufacturing site in Mezzovico, Switzerland, is ISCC PLUS certified, ensuring full traceability of materials throughout the manufacturing process and supply chain. ISCC Plus certification also covers all external suppliers - including injection molding providers, service partners, and warehouses - guaranteeing a fully (ISCC) certified supply chain for the Freepod® components.

Partnership for a more sustainable approach

The joint sustainability approach between Haleon (formerly GSK Consumer Healthcare) and Aptar Pharma is built on a long-term partnership spanning over 30 years. This collaboration has led to significant achievements, including the Otrivin® Freepod® winning the World Packaging Award in 2019 for its innovative and sustainable design.

The use of bio-based or renewable feedstocks for the Otrivin® products with Freepod® technology supports Haleon's goal to reduce virgin petroleum-based plastic use by 10% by 2025** and by a third by 2030, compared to 2022 levels. Aptar Pharma’s Freepod® for Otrivin®, available globally, demonstrates Aptar’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. Looking ahead, this collaboration is anticipated to extend to Otrivin Nasal Mist, Haleon’s latest microdroplet technology, which is being rolled out globally since 2023.

“At Aptar, sustainability is not just a responsibility - it’s a strategic advantage,” commented Gael Touya, President of Aptar Pharma. “The launch of Freepod® Futurity™ reflects our commitment to developing solutions that respond to consumers’ increasing demand for more sustainable healthcare delivery technologies. As a trusted partner to Haleon, we are proud to help drive the success of the Otrivin® brand while enabling a shift away from fossil-based materials in primary packaging. Supporting our partners in reaching their environmental goals reinforces our vision of supporting the healthcare industry, from Formulation to patient.”

With a strong commitment to sustainability, Aptar Pharma continuously strives to reduce its environmental impact and support its partners in achieving their sustainability goals.

*ISCC Plus certified bio-based feedstock, mass balance approach.

**The end point for the goal delivery period is the end of the 2025 calendar year.
