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.

University Professors in Japan Published Protocol for Production of Homogeneous iPSC Spheroids and Microtissues Using the Suction Technique with CoorsTek’s 3D Cell Culture Substrata CERAHIVE®

TOKYO, JAPAN - July 17, 2025 - 12:00 AM Mountain Time -Shugo Tohyama, professor at Fujita Medical Innovation Center (FMiC), Fujita Health University in Tokyo, project leader at Kanagawa Institute of Industrial and Science Technology (KISTEC), and team leader at Keio University Regenerative Medicine Research Center, and Taijun Moriwaki, assistant professor at FMiC, Fujita Health University in Tokyo, KISTEC, along with others recently published a research paper in the Cell Press journal ‘’STAR Protocols’’, jointly describing a protocol for production of homogeneous iPSC spheroids and microtissues using the suction technique with 3D cell culture substrata CERAHIVE® developed by CoorsTek (Japan headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Japan).

This research paper details the development of CERAHIVE® culture technology, which allows for producing homogeneous uniform induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) spheroids and microtissues by aspirating media from cell suspensions and rapidly aggregating cells.

3D cell cultures will play an increasingly important role in disease modeling, drug efficacy evaluation, and toxicity testing. Researchers have discovered numerous advantages from innovative 3D tissue engineering methods, including increased efficiency, improved functionality, homogeneity, and spheroidization. The scalability of these methods also paves the way for mass production of these 3D structures, making them a valuable resource in regenerative medicine and drug discovery.

 

"The CERAHIVE® platform is a nice example of how we are supporting the rapid advancements in bio-medical research," said Randel Mercer, chief technology officer at CoorsTek. "We congratulate the dedicated teams at Fujita Health University, KISTEC and Keio University for utilizing our products to publish this research and look forward to future developments accelerating regenerative medicine.”
