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.

Department of Defense (DoD) Awards Nearly $1 Million to Steadman Philippon Research Institute (SPRI) for Breakthrough Study on Extracellular Vesicles Therapeutic for Joint Regeneration

By: via GlobeNewswire

VAIL, Colorado / BASALT, Colorado, Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded a $962,977 contract to Steadman Philippon Research Institute (SPRI) to launch a year-long clinical study focused on improving therapies for osteoarthritis (OA) and other musculoskeletal diseases. The project, officially titled “Strategies for Improving the Quality and Efficacy of Autologous Extracellular Vesicles for Treating Musculoskeletal Injuries and Disease,” launched September 1, 2025, and will be conducted concurrently at SPRI’s regenerative medicine laboratories in Vail and Basalt, Colorado.

The study centers on extracellular vesicles (EVs)—microscopic particles naturally released by cells that carry proteins and genetic material throughout the body. These vesicles are essential messengers in cell-to-cell communication and the SPRI team hypothesizes that EVs will play a critical role in tissue repair. Through this DoD award, SPRI researchers will explore how to enhance the healing potential of EVs derived from a patient’s own bone marrow and peripheral blood. Specifically, they aim to modify the exosome profile—a subset of EVs—using senolytic (anti-aging) and anti-fibrotic (scar-reducing) drugs. This approach is designed to reduce inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately improving pain relief and promoting joint regeneration.

“This award from the DoD is another testament to the groundbreaking work happening in our SPRI labs both in Vail and now in Basalt,” said Marc J. Philippon, M.D., chairman of SPRI and managing partner of The Steadman Clinic. “Our regenerative medicine laboratory in Basalt has become a hub for this type of translational research and we are eager to advance our robust regenerative medicine program by conducting this important study in our Vail and Basalt laboratories.”

The project will test whether oral administration of a dietary supplement or FDA-approved drug can safely alter the composition of circulating EVs in patients with OA—potentially improving pain relief, reducing joint damage and even slowing disease progression.

“This is a significant advancement for our regenerative medicine research program,” said Dr. Johnny Huard, principal investigator of this DoD award and SPRI’s chief scientific officer and director of the Linda & Mitch Hart Center for Regenerative and Personalized Medicine (CRPM). “An important initiative for SPRI and CRPM has been expanding our innovative regenerative therapeutics research to our Basalt, Colorado SPRI lab. The EV project is a perfect fit for our research team there, including Aspen Medical Director Dr. Jared Lee and pain management physician Dr. Dustin Anderson.”

Dr. Lee, a shoulder, hip, knee and sports medicine specialist at The Steadman Clinic in Aspen and Basalt, looks forward to beginning this DoD-supported research project.

“As a clinician, I’m really enthusiastic about the potential of EVs,” said Dr. Lee. “It’s an honor to receive this award from the DoD and help discover healing solutions for patients with OA and other musculoskeletal diseases. For years, the SPRI team has investigated biologic treatments in Vail, and now, we have the privilege of conducting this major project at our advanced lab in Basalt.”

Success in the study could pave the way for non-invasive, EV-based treatments that improve quality of life for millions suffering from joint pain and degeneration—especially military personnel and aging populations.

“We’re constantly seeking new ways to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and enhance lives,” said Dr. Huard. “This project reflects SPRI’s commitment to advancing regenerative medicine and delivering real-world solutions.”
