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.

Semtech Unveils SurgeSwitch™ System Transient Protection Product Line, Offering Compelling Performance Advantages Over Conventional TVS Devices

Semtech’s SurgeSwitch™ product line offers 30% reduced clamping, 80% smaller package size and stability of clamping over temperature

Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading global supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, today unveiled the release of the SurgeSwitch™ product line. Semtech’s SurgeSwitch devices are specifically designed to protect circuits and systems operating in harsh industrial and telecom environments.

“SurgeSwitch represents an exciting revolution in Electrical Overstress (EOS) protection,” said Tamir Reshef, director of marketing for Semtech’s Protection Products Group. “The constant clamping characteristics takes the guesswork out of protecting circuits, especially in applications that require protection over industrial and automotive temperature ranges.”

Unlike conventional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes, SurgeSwitch devices maintain nearly the same clamping voltage over the entire peak pulse current range and extended temperature range, using an innovative new architecture.

Initial SurgeSwitch devices will be available with operating voltages of 22V (TDS2211P), 33V (TDS3311P), 45V (TDS4501P), and 58V (TDS5801P). These devices are housed in a small 1.6 x 1.6mm package. They may be used to meet the common industrial voltage surge standard of +/-1kV per IEC61000-4-5 (RS = 42Ω, CS= 0.5μF). Typical applications include VBUS protection of USB PD voltage buses, IO-Link interfaces, industrial sensors, 24V AC lines in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, PLC I/O Modules, Power over Ethernet, and load switch input protection.

Key Features of SurgeSwitch

  • Transient protection for high-speed data lines to: IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±30kV (air), ±30kV (contact); IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 40A (8/20μs)
  • 22V, 33V, 45V, and 58V standoff voltage devices
  • Protects one I/O or VBUS line
  • Very small footprint: 1.6mm x 1.6mm package
  • Pb-Free and RoHS/WEEE compliant

Availability

The SurgeSwitch product line of devices is available immediately in production quantities. Semtech offers comprehensive design assistance, including field- and factory-based support. Datasheets, volume pricing and delivery quotes, as well as evaluation kits and samples, are available on the Semtech website.
