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 Releases High-Performance Digital Voice Vibration Sensor for High-Fidelity Voice Pick-Up in TWS

Low power, high-performance specialized vibration sensor filters background noise to create reliable, high-quality voice calling in noisy environments.

Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN), a market leader and global provider of advanced micro-acoustic microphones and speakers, audio solutions, and high-performance capacitors and RF products, releases the first-of-its-kind Digital Voice Vibration Sensor, V2S200D. Working in conjunction with microphones, V2S200D, a high bandwidth, low-power specialized vibration sensor, improves voice call quality in noisy environments by picking up the speaker’s voice and rejecting ambient sounds.

More than ever, consumers use audio devices, such as True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds, for voice communication on the move, often in public places. Distracting noises common in restaurants, airports, and public transportation, for example, present challenges for achieving high-quality communication with traditional noise suppression techniques. High winds and traffic noise can also severely degrade voice call clarity in outdoor environments.

V2S200D is designed to help solve these challenges and selectively pick up the speaker’s voice while suppressing all other sounds. Blending low-band voice signals from V2S200D with the high-band voice signals using today’s TWS microphones enables a consistent, reliable, and frustration-free voice call experience in such environments. In addition to enhancing voice call quality, this sensor enables other use cases like voice activity detection, imposter rejection, and personalization.

With its small size, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and low power, V2S200D offers an ideal solution to OEMs/ODMs looking to enhance the user experience of their products while working with significant Industrial Design (ID) and battery life constraints. In addition, it emulates a digital mic with Pulse Density Modulation (PDM) interface, which makes hardware integration and software development hassle-free.

“Frictionless communication from anywhere using Bluetooth headsets has become a basic expectation from consumers. We are more on-the-go than ever, and the new ‘work-from-anywhere’ culture means dialing into conference calls from cafes, trains, and lounges,” said Saket Thukral, Sr. Director of Product Line Management for microphones at Knowles. “We are excited to offer our customers an easy-to-use, high-performance solution to meet this expectation and help them delight consumers.”

“Bone conduction sensors are fast becoming an essential feature in TWS designs to improve voice pick-up in noisy environments. Until now, solutions in the market have tended to deliver less-than-ideal performance or have been challenging to integrate due to their size, robustness, high power consumption, or some other significant trade-off. I had a chance to experience the new Knowles V2S200D sensor at CES 2023. The unique solution provides remarkable performance, with low power, in a tiny package -- the sweet spot for many applications in today’s market,” said Peter Cooney, Founder and Research Director of SAR Insight.

V2S200D is sampling with lead customers and is expected to be in mass production later this year.
