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.

Burning Rock's OncoGuide™ OncoScreen™ Plus CDx System Now Approved in Japan as a Companion Diagnostic for Capivasertib in Breast Cancer

TOKYO and GUANGZHOU, China, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riken Genesis Co., Ltd. (Riken Genesis) and Burning Rock Biotech Limited (NASDAQ: BNR, “Burning Rock”) today announced that the OncoGuide™ OncoScreen™ Plus CDx System based on OncoScreen™ Plus to be used as a companion diagnostic for AstraZeneca’s capivasertib has received Manufacturing and Marketing Approval from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW).

Burning Rock

The CDx System is a combination medical device consisting of the OncoGuide™ OncoScreen™ Plus CDx Kit and the OncoGuide™ OncoScreen™ Plus CDx Analysis Program, designed to be used with a next-generation sequencer. It enables the detection of PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN alterations in a single test. This diagnostic tool is intended to guide treatment decisions for adult patients with unresectable or recurrent hormone-receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have progressed following endocrine therapy and whose tumors carry one or more PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN gene alterations.

The approval of this CDx system supports the use for patient selection for capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant.
With the introduction of this CDx System into clinical practice, access to precision diagnostics for breast cancer patients in Japan is expected to improve, ultimately expanding therapeutic opportunities. Riken Genesis will begin preparations for insurance coverage, aiming to ensure timely and equitable access for all eligible patients.

Yusheng Han, Founder and CEO of Burning Rock, commented:
"We are delighted to collaborate with Riken Genesis to achieve the approval of the CDx System in Japan. This is a significant milestone in Burning Rock's global strategy. Research shows that this CDx System can assist in guiding clinical treatment for breast cancer, optimizing treatment plans, and enhancing patient outcomes. We are concurrently advancing the product's registration application in China, hoping that its approval there will benefit more breast cancer patients."

Yuko Oi, President and CEO of Riken Genesis, commented:
"We are honored to receive our first approval for a combination medical device product in partnership with Burning Rock. This achievement represents a promising step toward expanding treatment options for breast cancer patients in Japan. We are committed to delivering this innovative diagnostic tool to patients as quickly as possible."
