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.

Cadence Advances Hyperscale SoC Design with Expanded IP Portfolio for TSMC N3E Process Featuring Next-Generation 224G-LR SerDes IP

By: via Business Wire

Highlights:

  • Proven interface IP architectures realized significant gains in performance and power efficiency on the TSMC N3E process
  • 224G-LR SerDes PHY IP on the TSMC N3E process has achieved first-pass silicon success
  • 112G-ELR SerDes silicon results on the TSMC N3E process showing optimal PPA
  • Multiple Cadence IP test chips have successfully taped out on the TSMC N3E process, including PCIe 6.0 and 5.0, 64G-LR Multi-Protocol PHY, LPDDR5x/5, GDDR7/6 and UCIe

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced it has expanded its design IP portfolio on TSMC’s 3nm (N3E) process—most notably with the addition of the flagship Cadence® 224G Long-Reach (224G-LR) SerDes PHY IP, which has achieved first-pass silicon success. Other Cadence Design IP on the advanced TSMC N3E process has demonstrated silicon success or taped out, providing mutual customers with a wide range of high-speed interface and memory IP for their most advanced designs. Cadence’s broad portfolio on TSMC’s N3E process delivers industry-leading power, performance and area (PPA) to target the most demanding networking, hyperscale computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), chiplet, automotive and storage applications.

With the proliferation of bandwidth-hungry, low-latency applications fueled by generative AI and large language models (LLMs), the need for innovative IP solutions that enable efficient and robust high-speed data transmission has become paramount. Addressing this surging demand, the new 224G-LR SerDes PHY IP and other leading Cadence interface IP on the TSMC N3E process usher in a new era of innovation and high-speed connectivity. The 224G-LR SerDes PHY IP features an innovative architecture providing an exceptional combination of speed, reach and power efficiency. Key features include:

  • Support for full-duplex 1-225Gbps data rates with excellent LR performance
  • Optimized power efficiency configurable for different channel reaches (LR, MR, VSR)
  • Built-in intelligence to enhance reliability and system robustness

The 224G-LR PHY IP is part of the Cadence IP portfolio on TSMC’s advanced N3E process, which also includes 112G LR SerDes PHY IP, PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0/5.0/4.0/3.0/2.0, 64G/32G Multi-Protocol SerDes, Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™), LPDDR5x/5/4x/4, DDR5/4/3 and GDDR7/6 IP. Cadence’s 224G/112G LR SerDes and DDR5 IP have demonstrated first-pass silicon success. The PCIe, 64G/32G Multi-Protocol SerDes, LPDDR5x/5, GDDR7/6 and UCIe IP were successfully taped out in early 2023.

“Cadence’s innovative IP solutions for TSMC’s most advanced N3E process empower our customers to unlock unprecedented levels of performance and power efficiency while benefiting from the leading-edge capabilities of TSMC’s N3E process,” said Dan Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “Our latest collaboration with Cadence on breakthrough IP designs for TSMC’s 3nm technology has the potential to reshape the landscape of hyperscale, AI/ML and 5G/6G infrastructure SoC designs.”

“Our proven interface IP architectures on TSMC’s cutting-edge N3E process have realized significant gains in performance and power efficiency, enabling our mutual customers to harness the benefits of the N3E process while still achieving faster time to market,” said Rishi Chugh, vice president of product marketing for the IP Group at Cadence. “SerDes speeds must quickly move to next-generation nodes to accommodate the increased demand for data bandwidth required by generative AI and other high-speed networking infrastructures. Cadence’s demonstration of 224G-LR silicon offer customers a solid upgrade path to next-generation hyperscale designs. Our close collaboration with TSMC enables us to deliver high-quality IP designed to achieve first-pass silicon success and faster time to market.”

The comprehensive Cadence IP portfolio on the TSMC N3E process supports the Cadence Intelligent System Design™ strategy by enabling advanced-node SoC design excellence.
