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.

Konan Medical's objective FIELD(R) Perimeter Obtains CE Mark Under MDR

By: Newsfile

objectiveFIELD is the first and only truly objective perimeter FDA 510(k) cleared to assess visual field abnormalities

Irvine, California--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2025) - Konan Medical USA, Inc. today announced its groundbreaking objectiveFIELD Analyzer (OFA®) has received CE Marking under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). This significant milestone enables the Company to offer advanced perimetry to healthcare providers across the European Union.

Receiving CE Marking signifies that the device meets the stringent safety and performance requirements set forth by the European Union, ensuring that it is reliable, effective, and safe for clinical use.

objectiveFIELD is also available for sale in the USA, Canada, Japan and select international markets.

OFA is a completely objective, bilateral visual field analyzer that measures pupillary responses to novel spatially resolved stimuli, captured by video cameras under infra-red conditions. Pupil responses are measured to assess visual field abnormalities instead of the subjective, push-button human-response to the small white-on-white flash of light used in subjective standard automated perimetry (SAP).

Retinal sensitivity is derived from the amplitude of the pupil responses, and OFA also measures delay/latency (time-to-peak constriction), which is new information that no other SAP device can provide. Additionally, SAP is a Half-Axis device in that it only measures reduced sensitivity defects whereas OFA is a Dual-Axis device that also reveals high-sensitivity defects with no extra effort or time.

Reports are presented in a familiar format for quick and easy interpretation.

"We are thrilled to have achieved CE Marking for the OFA. It is a testament to our team's dedication to innovation and developing novel medical technology," said Simon Gordon, co-Chief Executive Officer of Konan Medical USA, Inc.

The approval was granted after a rigorous assessment process, which confirmed that the OFA conforms to the requirements of the MDR Regulation EU 2017/745. This process involved a thorough review of the device's clinical data, technical documentation, and manufacturing processes to ensure that it meets high standards of safety and effectiveness. Konan Medical USA's quality system is certified to ISO 13485:2016 MDSAP.

"This approval is pivotal for expanding access to new, objective visual -function testing, which we believe will augment current standard of care and enable testing patients that are too young for traditional subjective methods. With test-protocols as fast as 90 seconds for both eyes, and no button to push, we expect clinics to will see improvements in efficiency and patient satisfaction. There is a great deal of initial interest from specialists that are focused on diabetic retinal disease (DRD) and pediatrics," said Dale Sadlik, co-CEO.

The OFA is also listed with FDA and is expected to be made available to European hospitals and clinics starting in October 2025.
