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.

ZKR Orthopedics Announces First Patella LIFT™ Surgeries on the East Coast at Hospital for Special Surgery in Enrollment of FDA PELICAN Trial

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZKR Orthopedics announced today that the first Patella LIFT™ procedures on the East Coast were successfully performed as part of the PELICAN TRIAL, at the renowned Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City. Esteemed orthopedic surgeons Dr. Sabrina Strickland and Dr. Andreas Gomoll led the groundbreaking initiative, completing four Patella LIFT™ implant surgeries in patients suffering from advanced patellofemoral joint disease.

The outpatient procedures were performed as part of an ongoing FDA IDE clinical trial (NCT 06423300), which is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Patella LIFT™ implant. The device has demonstrated promising results in an earlier clinical trial in Europe, providing participants with significant improvement in pain and function. To date, a total of 16 Patella LIFT™ procedures have been performed in the United States, marking steady progress in the study of this innovative treatment.

The Patella LIFT™ is a novel orthopedic implant with FDA Breakthrough Designation, designed to restore patellar tracking and reduce pain in patients with isolated patellofemoral arthritis. By offloading the diseased cartilage and optimizing biomechanics, the implant offers a joint-preserving alternative for individuals who may otherwise face limited treatment options.

“Performing the first Patella LIFT™ procedures on the East Coast is an important milestone for patients seeking new investigational innovative solutions for patellofemoral arthritis,” said Dr. Sabrina Strickland, Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Surgeon at HSS. “We are excited about the potential this technology has to expand treatment options for this challenging condition.”

“The Patella LIFT™ represents a paradigm shift in how we might approach patellofemoral disease,” added Dr. Andreas Gomoll, Orthopedic Surgeon at HSS. “This procedure gives us a potential way to address pain and dysfunction earlier, while preserving the joint. And compared to a tibial tubercle osteotomy, patients can be weight bearing immediately with no brace, compared to 6 weeks using crutches and a brace for the osteotomy.”

“This is an exciting milestone for ZKR as we extend our trial to institutions around the country,” said Jeffrey Halbrecht, MD, CEO of ZKR Orthopedics. “Finally, patients suffering from a painful arthritic kneecap have the potential for a new, less invasive treatment option that might avoid the complications and prolonged recovery associated with Total Knee Replacement or Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy.”  

This achievement marks a significant expansion of the Patella LIFT™ IDE Trial, underscoring the growing recognition of the technology’s potential to transform the standard of care for patellofemoral arthritis.
