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.

DB GlobalChip Deploys Cadence’s Spectre FX and AMS Designer, Accelerating IP Verification by 2X

Cadence Spectre Technology enables DB GlobalChip to accelerate analog and mixed-signal IP development

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that DB GlobalChip has deployed the Cadence® Spectre® FX Simulator, integrated with Spectre AMS Designer, to verify its crucial analog and mixed-signal IP, achieving a 2X improvement in performance with the required accuracy compared to their incumbent flow. The Cadence solution allowed DB GlobalChip to speed its IP development and verification cycles, accelerating time to market.

Meeting stringent design requirements for analog and mixed-signal IP while meeting customers’ timelines is a growing challenge. DB GlobalChip is continuously innovating its design methodologies to shorten design and verification cycles while meeting the desired accuracy of the results. DB GlobalChip successfully utilized the Spectre FX Simulator for its analog transistor-level designs and deployed the comprehensive mixed-signal simulation solution, Spectre AMS Designer, integrated with Spectre FX Simulator, to include digital control logic to account for analog/digital interaction effects with faster performance. The design team at DB GlobalChip leveraged the Cadence mixed-signal simulation solution’s out-of-the-box intuitive use model and comprehensive methodology support, which incorporates the Cadence Virtuoso® ADE Suite, providing comprehensive verification quality and coverage with significantly faster turnaround times to deliver IP to customers.

DB GlobalChip leveraged the Spectre FX Simulator's multicore architecture to parallelize simulations and easy-to-use preset options for accuracy performance tuning in their mixed-signal and transistor-level simulations. This allowed their design and verification teams to improve simulation turnaround time by utilizing available hardware resources without trading off accuracy.

“Complex analog and mixed-signal IP require very accurate FastSPICE simulations and a tight integration with the mixed-signal verification environment,” said Jeongtae Park, vice president at DB GlobalChip. “Our IP designers leveraged the intuitive use model and performance of Cadence’s comprehensive mixed-signal simulation solution and realized a 2X improvement in runtime and productivity while meeting stringent accuracy requirements.”

The Spectre FX Simulator and Spectre AMS Designer are part of the industry-leading Spectre Simulation Platform, which offers the only complete simulation solution with multiple solvers that enable a designer to move easily and seamlessly between circuit-, block- and system-level simulation and verification tasks. The Spectre Simulation Platform supports Cadence's Intelligent System Design strategy, enabling SoC design excellence.
