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.

Cadence Accelerates RF Design with Delivery of New TSMC N16 mmWave Reference Flow

Cadence and TSMC collaborate on N16 mmWave RF design enablement to accelerate innovation in mobile, 5G and automotive applications

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that Cadence® RFIC solutions support TSMC’s N16RF Design Reference Flow and process design kit (PDK) to help accelerate the next generation of mobile, 5G and automotive applications. The continued collaboration between Cadence and TSMC allows mutual customers to design with Cadence solutions for TSMC’s N16RF mmWave semiconductor technology.

The Cadence RFIC solutions support the Cadence Intelligent System Design strategy, enabling system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence. To learn more about Cadence RFIC solutions, visit http://www.cadence.com/go/rficsolutions.

The complete RF Design Reference Flow includes passive device modeling, block-level optimization, sensitive layout routing nets EM parasitics signoff, EM-IR analysis with custom passives, and self-heating. The reference flow features several products optimized for TSMC’s N16RF mmWave process technology, including the Cadence Virtuoso® Schematic Editor, Virtuoso ADE Product Suite, and integrated Spectre® X Simulator and RF option. Additionally, the flow features high capacity electromagnetic (EM) model generation using the Cadence EMX® 3D Planar Solver for seamless back-annotation of S-parameter models into golden schematic and EM-IR analysis with self-heating with the Voltus-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution, allowing automatic management of EM and RCX models for RF-accurate results. The flow enables users to effectively manage corner simulations and achieve design robustness.

The EMX Planar 3D Solver and Quantus Parasitic Extraction are integrated into the Virtuoso platform, enabling layered extraction of coupling effects and guaranteeing full-design EM parasitic signoff. The Cadence RFIC full flow offers an efficient methodology that lets engineers achieve design goals—performance, power efficiency and reliability—in a single, tightly integrated design environment.

“Through our continued collaboration with Cadence, we’re enabling customers to improve productivity using Cadence-certified flows and our advanced N16 mmWave process technology,” said Dan Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “With the new reference flow, we’re making it easier for those creating next-generation mobile, automotive, 5G, healthcare, and aerospace designs to adopt our technologies quickly, and we’ve already seen customers leverage our technologies to advance innovation.”

“By working closely with TSMC, our customers have access to the most sophisticated capabilities to create competitive designs with TSMC’s N16 mmWave process technology and our comprehensive RF and RFIC flows,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager in the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “Cadence strives to provide our mutual customers with the best flows, and we constantly listen to feedback to gain an understanding of their real-world design requirements. This feedback allows us to tailor our flows accordingly so customers can focus on their designs, rather than integrations.”
