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.

Vecima Introduces Video Solution Tailored for Multi-Dwelling Units

  • The Community Cache solution combines Vecima’s industry leading MediaScaleand Terrace portfolios to serve the latest IPTV-enabled devices while sustaining traditional coax-based QAM and analog video delivery
  • Deploy the new MediaScale MicroCache in local communities to reduce video traffic from the internet and free up bandwidth for data broadband services
  • Reclaim bandwidth from video services and improve subscriber experience

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced the deployment of a new Community Cache solution, combining products from its MediaScale and Terrace portfolios, to enable operators to efficiently deploy the latest IPTV-enabled user interfaces while maintaining traditional coax-based QAM and analog video delivery.

Service providers strive to offer private neighborhood residents high-speed broadband and an engaging home video experience, while also delivering traditional coax-based video to common areas and fitness centers. Achieving these goals with an easy to manage solution can be challenging and the alternative of swapping out coax wiring, replacing TVs, or adding set-top boxes can be disruptive, time-consuming, and expensive.

The Vecima Community Cache solution allows operators to do it all: increase bandwidth available for data services, deploy the latest IPTV user interfaces, and support legacy video delivery. Locally deployed MediaScale MicroCaches aggregate traffic for video served to the community, freeing up valuable network capacity for high-speed broadband, resulting in lower latency, higher quality video. Vecima’s industry leading commercial and hospitality video products, Terrace IQ, and Terrace TC600E, connect to the MicroCache to locally generate a QAM and analog lineup for existing coax networks.

The MediaScale MicroCache utilizes the same highly flexible, next-generation software for live, time-shifted linear, recorded DVR, and video on demand (VOD) adaptive bitrate (ABR) IPTV streaming as other products within the portfolio. The architecture is designed to allow multiple tiers of caching to optimize network efficiency. The latest iteration of Vecima’s Cache software complies with the Streaming Video Alliance Open Caching standard to enable caching of video for an operator’s own video service in addition to caching video from over-the-top applications.

The Vecima Terrace portfolio of Commercial Video Gateways allows operators to efficiently deliver bulk video services as a gateway between traditional coax-based video and modern technologies such as ABR delivery. Vecima recently announced the latest Terrace feature set, which includes HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) input with Verimatrix Digital Rights Management (DRM). In addition to already supporting Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), Terrace IQ also supports high channel capacity, integrated transcoding, Pro:Idiom® encryption, IP output, and QAM output in a modular form factor.
