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.

Knowles Introduces New Balanced Armature Receiver for Over-The-Counter Hearing Aid Market

New full-range receiver positioned to serve the high-performance demands of mass-market hearing health and TWS products.

Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN), a market leader and global provider of advanced micro-acoustic microphones, speakers, audio solutions, high performance capacitors and RF products, today announced the RAQ, a new medium-power balanced armature receiver developed for high volume hearing health and TWS products. This full-range balanced armature receiver’s small size and high output delivers up to 116dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL) at 500Hz, making it optimally positioned to meet the performance requirements for both hearing health and True Wireless Sound (TWS) products.

Following a recently proposed ruling from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the over-the-counter (OTC) hearing devices are intended to broaden access to hearing aid technology for millions of Americans. Knowles’ RAQ receiver is well-positioned to serve this expanding market opportunity. RAQ balanced armatures leverage Knowles’ state-of-the-art manufacturing automation technology to bring increased reliability, tightened performance tolerances, and improved supply chain traceability in a high throughput operation specifically optimized for high volume balanced armature production.

The RAQ brings a new level of performance and consistency along with high output, low distortion and small size to bring clear, premium sound with the high levels of sensitivity needed for hearing health applications.

“Knowles is the world’s largest producer of transducers for the hearing health market. We continue to drive the industry with new technology and solutions that improve performance and increase access to quality audio solutions for hearing health and consumer electronics markets,” said Jon Kiachian, Vice President and GM of Knowles Hearing Health Technologies. “Now as the market is on the precipice of expanding with OTC hearing aids and the rapid growth that we see in the TWS ecosystem, we are leveraging our legacy of balanced armature leadership to provide early-market proven solutions that will help expand access to hearing aids for the tens of millions of people who experience mild to moderate hearing loss.”
