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.

Omnix Medical Receives U.S. FDA Approval of a Phase II Trial of its Next-Generation Anti-Infective OMN6

- Phase I data show safety and tolerability at clinically significant dose levels
- New class of anti-infectives to treat infections with Gram-negative bacteria

JERUSALEM, Israel, November 20, 2023 -- Omnix Medical, a biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation anti-infectives for the treatment of life-threatening infections, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a planned Phase II trial of the Company´s novel anti-infective OMN6.

The multinational, multicenter trial will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of OMN6 in patients with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) caused by Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC).

Omnix Medical´s lead compound OMN6 is a novel, first-in-class antimicrobial peptide (AMP) based on insect host defense peptides. Its mechanism of action (MoA) is based on a totally novel principle compared to conventional anti-infectives:
the compound destroys bacterial cell membranes, enabling a fast and effective onset of action regardless of bacterial genotype or resistance phenotype.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose Phase I study with over 80 healthy volunteers, OMN6 has demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability at clinically significant dose levels. Moreover, complete clearance of the drug could be shown, allowing for multiple daily infusions as is common with anti-infective treatments.

"We are very pleased that the U.S. FDA has approved our planned Phase II study," said Dr. Moshik Cohen-Kutner, CEO of Omnix Medical. "As we have seen very encouraging results in our previous Phase I trial, we hope that the Phase II data will confirm these data. This would be a key milestone in the development of a novel class of anti-infectives that are not associated with a development of antimicrobial resistance."

Dr. Niv Bachnoff, CSO of Omnix Medical, added: "We look forward to initiating this Phase II trial in the coming months. Our goal is to provide a potent alternative to conventional anti-infectives and to save the lives of millions of patients worldwide who no longer respond to currently available antibiotics."

About Omnix Medical
Omnix Medical was founded in 2015 to address the urgent unmet need for new life-saving anti-infective drugs. Omnix´ proprietary technology eliminates bacteria by mimicking the innate immune system of insects which uses unique molecules to efficiently and selectively kill resistant bacterial strains without toxic effects. This mechanism, which is at the core of Omnix´ technology, kills bacteria upon contact and has successfully evolved over 200 million years. The Company’s lead compound is being developed for the treatment of life-threatening hospital-acquired infections (HIA) and has shown significantly higher potency than currently available treatments. Most importantly, Omnix´ technology prevents the development of new resistances and is thus well positioned to become the first-line-treatment to win the war against AMR. 

About OMN6
OMN6 is a novel, first-in-class antimicrobial peptide (AMP) based on insect host defense peptides. Its mechanism of action (MoA) is based on disruption of bacterial cell membranes and is therefore effective regardless of bacterial genotype or resistance phenotype, and unlike conventional bacteriostatic antibiotics, it is fast acting and bactericidal. OMN6 has been optimized from the original AMP by Omnix Medical´s proprietary technology to exhibit not only remarkable efficacy, potency, and safety, but also high stability while maintaining bioactivity. As a result, Omnix Medical believes that its novel peptides can be considered a new class of antimicrobial drugs. OMN6, the Company's lead compound, is intended for the treatment of life-threatening infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii.
