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.

Cygnus Technologies Receives 2023 R&D 100 Award for MockV® RVLP Kit

LELAND, N.C., Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cygnus Technologies, part of Maravai LifeSciences (Maravai) (NASDAQ: MRVI), the leading product and services provider for the detection and characterization of process-related impurities in biopharmaceuticals, received a 2023 R&D 100 Award from R&D World Magazine in the Analytical/Test category for the MockV® RVLP Kit.

The MockV® RVLP Kit enables bioprocess scientists to determine Retrovirus Like Particle (RVLP) removal during biopharmaceutical manufacturing in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines. The kit includes a biosafety level-1 (BSL-1) compatible RVLP stock solution and all the necessary reagents to quantify RVLP removal using a 96-well plate assay in less than one day.

“We are honored to be recognized among many innovative companies pushing the boundaries of what is possible in R&D,” said Christine Dolan, Cygnus Technologies Chief Operating Officer. “This award exemplifies our dedication to improving biopharmaceutical manufacturing safety with our accurate and reliable MockV® viral clearance technology. We thank the staff at R&D World and the esteemed judging panel for recognizing the ingenuity of product line inventor, David Cetlin, and his team at Cygnus.”

“During the production of monoclonal antibody therapies, regulatory agencies require proof that downstream purification steps can effectively remove or inactivate retrovirus. Historically, this has been demonstrated through the use of a model mammalian virus, Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus (XMuLV), which requires high costs and specialized contract research organization (CRO)-led viral clearance “spiking” studies,” commented David Cetlin, Cygnus Technologies Senior Director of R&D. “Using the MockV® RVLP Kit, scientists can gain actionable insight into retroviral clearance whenever they wish, from their own lab bench, at a fraction of the costs associated with XMuLV studies.”

Cygnus’s MockV® technology addresses the barriers imposed by live viral clearance studies through novel viral surrogates called Mock Viral Particles (MVPs). MVPs are engineered to mimic the physical and chemical characteristics of viruses but are non-infectious and can be handled safely and easily to predict the outcomes of CRO-led spiking studies early in process development. Cygnus’s MockV® RVLP Kit enables biopharmaceutical companies to develop manufacturing processes to effectively remove viral impurities for the production of safe biotherapeutics.
