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.

Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-Trend (OOT) Investigations Course | Best Practices, Key Components and FDA Requirements (ONLINE EVENT: September 4-5, 2025) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "OOS and OOT Investigations Course - Best Practices, Key Components and FDA Requirements" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-Trend (OOT) results are critical indicators of process control, product quality, and data integrity. The FDA expects companies to follow rigorous and well-documented procedures for identifying, investigating, and responding to these results. This comprehensive 2-day training provides an in-depth exploration of regulatory expectations, scientific investigation best practices, and how to avoid common missteps that result in 483s or Warning Letters.

Attendees will gain a complete understanding of the life cycle of an OOS/OOT result - from initial detection to root cause analysis, interim actions, CAPA implementation, documentation, and final reporting. Using real-world examples and recent FDA enforcement cases, the course provides actionable guidance to strengthen internal processes and ensure data-driven, defensible investigations. This training is suitable for pharmaceutical, biotech, dietary supplement, and contract organizations operating under cGMP regulations.

Why You Should Attend

OOS and OOT results are among the most common - and most misunderstood - quality events in regulated manufacturing and laboratory environments. A poorly executed or incomplete investigation can lead to regulatory citations, product recalls, or even consent decrees. This course offers a hands-on, detailed roadmap for conducting compliant, science-based investigations that meet FDA expectations.

Participants will learn how to properly classify OOS/OOT results, when to trigger full investigations, how to separate lab error from true quality issues, and how to document each step in a compliant and traceable manner. The course also covers trending analysis, data integrity risks, and CAPA development. Case studies will be used throughout the training to reinforce best practices and highlight common inspection findings. Whether you're in Quality, Manufacturing, or the Laboratory, this course will provide tools to improve investigation outcomes and reduce compliance risk.

  • Quality Assurance Departments
  • Quality Control Departments
  • Manufacturing Departments
  • Operations Departments
  • Regulatory Affairs Departments
