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.

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Launches Visi Fine(R): A Group of Precious Metal Materials for Medical Device Components



TOKYO, Jan 31, 2025 - (JCN Newswire) - TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), a company engaged in the industrial precious metals business of TANAKA, announces the launch of its Visi Fine® series, a group of highly radiopaque precious metal materials, including platinum (Pt) alloy wire. The brand name Visi Fine® is a coined term combining “Visi” (visible) and “Fine” (fine and refined materials). The concept is to provide substances with excellent X-ray impermeability, crafted into highly reliable materials for medical device components using advanced processing technology.

In recent years, the trend in medical settings has been toward minimally invasive and non-invasive surgeries and treatments that reduce the burden on patients and minimize wound size. Catheterization devices and implantable medical devices used in these surgeries and treatments (hereafter referred to as “medical devices”) must enable precise targeting of affected areas and exhibit low reactivity with bodily tissues. Additionally, visibility under X-ray imaging is an important factor in accurately determining the position of a medical device within the body. Precious metals such as gold and platinum, with their relatively high specific gravity, excellent radiopacity, and strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion, are widely used as materials for components of medical devices.

Materials used for medical device components must be highly reliable and require various processing techniques and material customization tailored to the specific components to which they are applied. TANAKA offers the Visi Fine® series, a group of highly reliable materials that leverage the unique characteristics of precious metals through the company’s extensive expertise in materials development and proprietary technologies, including multiple melting technologies, ultra-fine wire processing, and laser cutting, developed over many years.

TANAKA will showcase the Visi Fine® series for the first time at “MD&M West 2025,” a medical device trade show to be held in Anaheim, California, USA, from February 4 to February 6, 2025.

As a leading company in industrial precious metal products, TANAKA is committed to contributing to advancements in medical and healthcare industry technologies.
