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.

Expanded capabilities that continue to push the boundaries of innovation—advancing drug delivery solutions for patients, customers, and consumers around the world

Aptar Pharma, a global leader in drug delivery and active material science solutions and services, today announced the opening of its new expanded R&D Center in Le Vaudreuil and Val-de-Reuil, France, which increases research and development capabilities across Aptar Pharma’s proprietary drug delivery business.

On September 22, 2025, Aptar Pharma celebrated the official opening of its new state-of-the-art R&D Center. Nearly 100 guests attended the event, including local and regional officials, Aptar Pharma employees, and key members of the leadership team. Aptar Pharma President Gael Touya and Prescription Division President Alex Theodorakis led the celebration, which featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a guided tour of the facility. Underscoring the event’s significance, Aptar Board member Isabel Marey-Semper was also in attendance, highlighting the strategic importance of the new center to Aptar’s global innovation agenda.

This new R&D Center is on the site of Aptar’s Le Vaudreuil and Val-de-Reuil manufacturing sites in France, and one of AptarGroup’s 11 global innovation centers. This expansion reflects Aptar’s commitment to innovation and strategic focus on research and development. Today, over 10% of Aptar Pharma’s global workforce is dedicated to R&D, supported by a robust portfolio of nearly 4,700 active and pending patents worldwide.

Fully operational since July 2025, Aptar Pharma’s new 3,000-square-meter (32,000-square-foot) R&D Center houses 170 employees dedicated to advancing pharmaceutical innovation. Designed to foster adaptability and collaboration, the two-story facility features open, sky-lit spaces and integrates cutting-edge technologies − including digital simulation, rapid prototyping, predictive modelling, data utilization and artificial intelligence. These capabilities accelerate and de-risk the development and market launch of next-generation drug delivery solutions.

The Center is equipped with rooftop solar panels, a heat recovery unit, a rainwater harvesting system as well as other features in line with Aptar’s sustainable building guidelines. The installation of solar panels will provide up to 30% of the anticipated total electricity consumption of the building.
