About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Pairwise Earns USDA Exemption Confirmations for Genomic Edits in Berries

Durham, N.C., Jan. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pairwise, a health-focused food and agriculture company, has received confirmation of nine new regulatory exemptions from the USDA, enabling accelerated innovation and the company’s ability to deliver differentiated new products to the marketplace. 

  

Per the USDA, plants with edits that meet the requirements for these exemptions are “achievable by conventional breeding.” These new exemptions represent an array of traits that are important to both consumers and growers. These new nine bring the total number of Pairwise’s confirmed trait exemptions for berries to 19, which include seedless, thornless and higher-yielding traits in blackberry and black raspberry. The company’s total number of confirmed exemptions is now 21, which it achieved in 15 months.  

  

The berry exemptions are part of a larger batch from the USDA, signifying the breadth and depth of the application of CRISPR and other gene editing techniques to both increase biodiversity and to deliver new varieties of crops based on meaningful traits, like ensuring year-round supply and maximizing yield. With the increasing pressures brought on by climate change and other global disruptors, CRISPR stands to be an important solution in addressing the problems of a strained global food system. 

  

“Successfully securing these exemptions speaks to the power of the Pairwise Fulcrum platform and our ability to deliver differentiated products,” Dan Jenkins, Pairwise Vice President of Regulatory and Government Affairs. “Our expert team at Pairwise uses CRISPR and gene editing techniques to transform plants and the production systems that are built upon them, delivering food and agriculture innovation that could otherwise be achieved through conventional breeding – faster and more effectively. We applaud the USDA for confirming these science-based exemptions, which bolster our ability to deliver progress in specialty and row crops, and better reflect the science of what is possible in conventional plant breeding.” 

 

Pairwise has taken a leadership position in mapping the genome and understanding the phenotypic diversity of the Rubus genus, working closely with USDA, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Plant Sciences, Inc, and major research universities including North Carolina State University, Cornell University, and the University of Arkansas in a three-year genome-wide association study (GWAS) from 2020-22.
