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.

High Efficiency Low Voltage 3A Buck Converter from Diodes Incorporated Targets High Power Density Automotive Designs

Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has introduced the automotive-compliant DIODES™ AP61300Q and DIODES™ AP61302Q synchronous buck converters. These 3A-rated devices have a wide input voltage range of 2.4V to 5.5V, and address the need for automotive point-of-loads (POLs) that are more streamlined and exhibit increased efficiency levels. They are optimized for use in vehicles’ telematics, ADAS, power and infotainment systems, as well as instrumentation clusters.

Incorporated into each of these buck converters is a 70mΩ high-side power MOSFET and a 50mΩ low-side power MOSFET which together deliver high-efficiency step-down DC-DC conversion. With fast switching speeds supported, much smaller accompanying passives can be specified, thereby reducing the overall bill-of-materials (BOM) and saving space.

Depending on the load conditions, the AP61300Q and AP61302Q can be configured to pulse frequency modulation (PFM) or pulse width modulation (PWM) operating modes (using the enable pin). Their quiescent current (IQ) of 19μA, when in PFM mode, allows them to maintain elevated efficiencies even in light load situations. Furthermore, their low drop-out (LDO) mode permits output voltage regulation to be maintained when the input voltage comes close to the VOUT voltage.

Due to the constant on-time (COT) control functionality that the AP61300Q and AP61302Q both feature, rapid transient response, easy loop stabilization, and low output voltage ripple are all attained, with only minimal external components needed. As a result, much less PCB area needs to be allocated and overall production costs are reduced.

Supplied in SOT563 packages, the AP61300Q and AP61302Q are AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. These devices are available at $0.19 in 1000 piece quantities.
