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.

Brainlab Announces FDA 510(k) Clearance and US Launch of Spine Mixed Reality Navigation

Advanced and extended visualization support for pedicle screw placement during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) spine surgery

Brainlab, a digital medical technology company, has announced United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance and US launch for Spine Mixed Reality Navigation. This advanced surgical navigation solution equips users with mixed reality support, delivering an ergonomic view of the navigation screen and allowing surgeons to place pedicle screws with the vital information directly in their field of view.

Spine Mixed Reality Navigation combines the reliability and precision of the company’s signature optical navigation system with advanced mixed reality. This extended visualization is projected directly in the sterile field delivering a layer of confidence one step beyond traditional technology. With real-time visualization of entry and target points, Brainlab Spine Mixed Reality Navigation enables desired placement of pedicle screws according to the surgeon’s pre- or intraoperative plans, including in MIS cases where target identification is challenging.

Jason Pittman, MD, PhD, FAAOS, spine surgeon at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and a long-time Brainlab navigation user, has provided critical clinical feedback throughout the development of Spine Mixed Reality Navigation. “Since my first introduction to Spine Mixed Reality Navigation at the Brainlab Usability Summit cadaver lab, I’ve been eager to work closely with them on their solution,” said Dr. Pittman. “Further hands-on opportunities at the company’s headquarters in Munich and Chicago have led me to believe that this solution is the future of the operating room. There is clear clinical value in Spine Mixed Reality Navigation with the enhanced visualization, accuracy and trueness.”

Dr. Pittman went on to explain how the ergonomics of Spine Mixed Reality Navigation deliver the added benefit of providing vital navigation information within the same field of view as the patient anatomy. During the Usability Summit, the 3D ‘floating view’ and virtual navigation views eliminated the need to continually look from the operative site to the navigation screen and back, allowing participants to keep their constant focus on the anatomy, optimizing cognitive load and allowing them to efficiently place 100 screws over two days of testing. Dr. Pittman said that the headset itself is comfortable to wear, even during the seven hours spent in the lab. He is excited to adopt this technology in his O.R. where he will be able to collaborate in real time with colleagues and residents both in and outside the sterile field, fostering seamless teamwork, learning and training.​

“We’re ushering in the future of spine surgery, putting groundbreaking tools in the hands of US surgeons,” said Sean Clark, President, Brainlab, Inc. “European surgeons are already experiencing the power to see, critically observe and optimize clinical procedures with Spine Mixed Reality Navigation. This solution delivers hyper realistic 3D visuals and extended visualization, while the workflow, instruments and navigation provide familiar and expected precision. Together with our customers, we’re driving accuracy in the O.R.”

Spine Mixed Reality Navigation is now available in the US, representing a milestone in the advancement of spinal surgery and another milestone in how Brainlab continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the field.
