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.

ASE VIPack™ FOCoS-Bridge integrates multiple ASICs and silicon bridges to accelerate AI innovation

By: via Business Wire

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE), a member of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: ASX, TAIEX: 3711), today announced its latest Fan-Out-Chip-on-Substrate-Bridge (FOCoS-Bridge) technology breakthrough, achieved through qualifying a large 70mm x 78mm package that incorporates two ASICs and eight High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) devices connected through eight silicon bridges. This large package features two identical 47mm x 31mm FOCoS-Bridge fan-out structures integrated side-by-side, with each comprising an ASIC with four HBMs and four silicon bridges, effectively integrating nine components in each 47mm x 31mm fan-out package, which is almost 2X the silicon reticle size. Positioned under the ASE VIPack™ platform, this FOCoS-Bridge technology is designed to be highly scalable, enabling seamless integration into complex chip architectures while delivering high density die-to-die (D2D) connections, high input/output (I/O) counts, and high-speed signal transmission for evolving Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Compute (HPC) requirements.

FOCoS-Bridge technology addresses the increasing demand for higher bandwidth and faster data transfer rates in AI and HPC applications. It leverages the advantages of highly integrated fan-out structures to overcome the limitations of traditional electrical interconnects, and enables high-speed, low-latency, and energy-efficient data communication between processors, accelerators, and memory modules. FOCoS-Bridge establishes the foundation for embedding passives and active chips in the fan-out package and provides options of decoupling capacitor integration for power delivery optimization and active dies for interconnection between to certain functions, such as memory, I/O, and more.

ASE’s FOCoS-Bridge features ultra-high density D2D interconnection with submicron L/S, enabling high bandwidth at low latency for chiplet integration. The use of a silicon bridge die enables a die edge linear density (wire/mm/layer) that is nearly 200x higher than the traditional organic flip chip package. In addition, FOCoS-Bridge enables broad D2D interconnects for both serial and parallel interfaces and associated standards such as XSR, BOW, OpenHBI, AIB, and UCIe.

AI has penetrated nearly all industries and scientific disciplines, from autonomous vehicles to medical diagnostics. The convergence of AI and HPC is having a strong impact on the semiconductor industry, fueling demand for innovative packaging solutions. HPC and server SoCs are approaching maximum reticle sizes and in some cases also require high bandwidth memory integration, which can be enabled by FOCOS-Bridge technology. Furthermore, FOCoS-Bridge technology helps enable more efficient utilization of computing resources, accelerates data-intensive workloads, and contributes to the advancement of AI algorithms, deep learning, scientific simulations, and other computationally demanding tasks.

“FOCoS-Bridge technology is vital for the chiplets era, at a time when industry roadmaps seek novel integration techniques that provide similar electrical signal, and power integrity performance to silicon interposer solutions, but at a lower cost and without reticle size constraints,” said Vikas Gupta, Director of Engineering & Technical Marketing, ASE.

“The breakthrough in FOCoS-Bridge technology pushes the boundaries of AI and HPC by addressing critical challenges related to data communication, performance, and power consumption,” added Dr. C.P. Hung, Vice President of R&D, ASE. “With AI and HPC poised to improve the way we live, work, play, and communicate, we are excited that FOCoS-Bridge and our advanced packaging innovation is playing a key enabling role.”

“ASE is passionate about creating integration technologies that enable our customers to achieve the HBM and high density chiplet integration required to bring their bleeding-edge applications to market,” commented Yin Chang, ASE’s Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Our creativity continues to deliver transformative solutions such as FOCoS-Bridge, which not only strengthens our VIPack portfolio but also opens up new possibilities for innovation and development in AI, empowering our customers to overcome tough technical challenges and achieve new levels of performance, scalability, and energy efficiency.”

ASE’s FOCoS-Bridge technologies feature within VIPack™, a scalable platform that is expanding in alignment with industry roadmaps.
