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.

MACOM Introduces New Linear Equalizer Product Line

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, today announced the release of its new high-performance linear equalizer product line for use in Ethernet, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel high speed data internconnect applications. The new product line supports PAM-4 multi-level signal connectivity and builds upon MACOM’s long-standing expertise in equalizers for broadcast video applications. The product line can support 50 Gbps to 800 Gbps data rate applications.

“Our customers are excited about this new product line,” said Stephen G. Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Linear equalization may be appropriate in applications where high speed data is transferred between two points, including in cloud computing backplanes, storage hardware and automotive systems.”

In addition to backplane applications, a linear equalizer can be used by cable manufactures to create an active copper cable to address short distance and high speed connectivity inside the Data Center. Adding linear equalization to a passive copper cable can enable the same copper cable to carry higher data rates for longer distances. MACOM’s new linear equalizer product line can extend a typical copper cable’s performance to 7.5 meters at 56 Gbps and 5 meters at 112 Gbps data rates. Hyperscale cloud and Internet Service Providers may now consider active copper cables as an alternative to passive copper cables or active optical cables.

MACOM’s linear equalizer product line includes:

  • MAEQ-38902 ­- 56 Gbps per lane, 2-channel equalizer
  • MAEQ-38904 - 56 Gbps per lane, 4-channel equalizer
  • MAEQ-39902 - 112 Gbps per lane, 2-channel equalizer
  • MAEQ-39904 - 112 Gbps per lane, 4-channel equalizer

These products support PAM-4 multilevel and NRZ connectivity. Key benefits include low power consumption from a single 3.3V supply, low latency, hardware and microcontroller management modes. The products are suitable for small SFP, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP connector form factors.

For more information, contact MACOM’s sales for samples, price and delivery information.
