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.

Agilent Introduces the Altura Line of Inert HPLC Columns for Superior Results in Biotherapeutic Testing

Helping Biopharma Labs Reach New Heights in Analytical Performance

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the release of a new range of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) columns ideally suited for biotherapeutics applications. The Agilent Altura Ultra Inert HPLC Columns set a new standard in liquid chromatography performance, providing the reliability and efficiency biopharmaceutical companies need for the most demanding applications, including peptide GLP-1 and oligonucleotide therapeutic development and quality control.

The rapidly evolving biopharma market faces unique challenges in the pursuit of innovative biotherapeutics. High-performance columns and lower limits of detection are required for biopharma labs to accelerate the discovery of these peptide- and oligonucleotide-based therapeutics and meet increasingly rigorous regulatory expectations.

Altura HPLC columns unlock the full separation potential of the stationary phase, delivering superior chromatographic performance — faster conditioning, improved peak shape, and enhanced sensitivity — for even the most challenging analytes. Agilent’s in-house expertise in inert coating, exemplified by the proprietary Ultra Inert technology featured in Altura HPLC columns, delivers consistent, robust performance under demanding operating conditions. This innovation is central to Agilent’s long-term strategy for LC column development.

“Customers producing complex therapeutics are under growing pressure to detect and characterize impurities with greater precision,” said David Edwards, vice president and general manager of the Chemistries and Supplies Division at Agilent. “To support their efforts, Agilent developed the Altura line of inert HPLC columns, which demonstrate up to twice the sensitivity and three times the signal-to-noise ratio compared to competitor columns. When paired with the Agilent 1290 Infinity III Bio LC, up to 30 times higher peak area can be obtained. Named after the Spanish word for ‘height,’ Altura reflects our commitment to help customers reach new heights in analytical performance and scientific discovery.”

“The Altura HILIC-Z HPLC column substantially reduced the undesired analyte-surface interactions in the analysis of GLP-1 receptor agonist drug products,” said Piotr Alvarez, senior scientist at RIC Group, in Belgium. “We have observed at least a 30 percent increase in sensitivity and reduction in peak tailing for the analysis of acidic peptides and excipients.”

The Altura line of LC columns further expands Agilent’s broad range of solutions supporting a fully inert sample flow path. A key addition to their inert flow path portfolio, this launch reinforces Agilent’s focus on delivering innovative products to drive the development and production of exceptionally high-quality therapeutics.
