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.

CACI Delivers High-Bandwidth Free-Space Optical Modem for NASA International Space Station Communications

Advanced laser communications technology will be integrated at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in support of multi-domain space missions

CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that it has delivered a free-space optical modem as part of the Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) User Modem and Amplifier (ILLUMA) program to MIT Lincoln Laboratory, which will integrate CACI’s advanced laser communications mission technology with other equipment for delivery to NASA.

The ILLUMA program provides high-bandwidth optical communication from the International Space Station (ISS) to the Earth and back via the LCRD mission satellite, which will deploy in geosynchronous orbit. ILLUMA will be launched in 2023 and installed on the ISS, where it will serve as a low-Earth terminal for NASA’s multi-year LCRD mission to demonstrate high-speed, laser-based communications.

CACI is the leading U.S.-based FSO laser communications provider for space, airborne, and terrestrial missions to U.S. government and commercial customers. Our innovative technology enables faster, more direct communication in low-earth orbit, improving performance for missions ranging from national security to human spaceflight.

CACI’s advanced laser communications technology for the ILLUMA program will transform the way data, video, and other information is sent and received using lasers to encode and transmit data at rates 10 to 100 times faster than today’s radio frequencies, at significantly less mass and power. And with the recent acquisition of SA Photonics, the combined portfolios bring a rare synergy of innovation and scaled manufacturing capabilities.

Linda Braun, Vice President of Photonics Solutions at CACI, said, “Space-based missions are producing larger volumes of data and demanding higher data rates, increasing the need for new communications technology. CACI’s decades of experience supporting the full lifecycle of space ground, launch and operations combined with innovative resilient communications technology enables these transformative solutions for NASA’s missions.”
