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.

Keysight Delivers First 800G Test Solution for Validating Conformance of 112 Gbps Serial Data Center Interfaces to Latest Industry Standards

By: via Business Wire

Enables optical transceiver makers to accurately verify transmitter and receiver of designs that support speeds greater than 100 Gbps

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced the industry’s first compliance test solution for validating 112 gigabit per second (Gbps) serial data center interface to the latest industry standards.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220317005664/en/

Data center operators and hyperscalers are implementing 800 gigabit (800G), the next generation of data center connectivity technology, to address bandwidth, virtualization and switching capacity requirements as well as the need for cost-effective power efficient data transportation. Interfaces capable of supporting speeds of at least 100 Gbps and per lane are critical to realizing the benefits of 800G deployments. Keysight’s 112 Gbps conformance test platform enables optical transceiver manufacturers to accurately verify both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) of designs that support connectivity speeds of 100 Gbps or greater.

“Keysight’s contributions to industry standards bodies are advancing hyperscale network measurement science and design validation solutions for 100 Gbps technology,” said Dr. Joachim Peerlings, vice president of network and data center solutions at Keysight Technologies. “We leverage insights gained from working with key stakeholders across the ecosystem to create interoperability and physical layer conformance test tools. These tools speed design and development ranging from electrical simulation to early silicon and systems validation.”

Keysight’s fully automated 112 Gbps conformance test solution enables users to:

  • perform flexible, precise and repeatable testing across a variety of implementation scenarios, to minimize development schedules.
  • leverage a wide range of test cases for validating compliance to the latest specifications defined by both the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF).
  • simplify and accelerate testing of multiple interfaces, including chip-to-chip, chip-to-module, cabled and backplane.

The new 112 Gbps conformance test solution leverages Keysight’s M8040A 64 GBaud high performance bit error ratio tester (BERT) with a N1060A Digital Communication Analyzer (DCA) for receiver testing and Keysight’s Infiniium UXR-Series real-time oscilloscope for transmitter testing. The solution includes automated test software for verifying the following:

  • receiver in conformance to IEEE 802.3ck specifications (M8091CKPA)
  • transmitter in conformance to IEEE 802.3ck specifications (N1091CKCA and D90103CKC)
  • transmitter in conformance to OIF-CEI-112G PAM4 specifications (N109212CA and D9050CEIC)

Keysight’s new 112 Gbps conformance test solution is part of the company’s high-speed digital 800G test solutions. In February 2021, Keysight introduced 800G test solutions that support multimode interfaces, enabling the optical transceiver ecosystem to improve the power efficiency of components and modules used in data center equipment.
