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.

Keysight Spotlights Solutions Enabling Better AI Infrastructure at DesignCon 2024

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS):

What:

Keysight empowers innovators to accelerate the development of intelligent networks by pushing the boundaries of current data speeds. At DesignCon 2024, Keysight will demonstrate its market-leading design, simulation, and test solutions that enable electrical / optical transmission and data center interconnect applications to speeds of 800G and 1.6T.

 

When:

January 30 – February 1, 2024

 

Where:

Keysight Booth Number 1039

Santa Clara Convention Center

 

Media:

Contact Paul Erwin to schedule media briefings and solution demonstrations.

 

Info:

Keysight will present the following sessions at DesignCon 2024: Keysight Education Forum (KEF), technical presentations/papers, and more.

Join Keysight experts at Booth #1039 for the following demonstrations:

UCIe Chiplet PHY Designer – As AI workloads evolve and change, chiplet based system architectures can be used to scale up quickly to keep pace with the growing compute needs. This demo will showcase a new PHY designer for chiplets that allows the modeling, simulation, and analysis of the high-speed channel between two D2D PHY interfaces.

Enabling PCIe 7.0 Technology – PCIe architecture provides a robust high-bandwidth interconnect solution for attaching compute chips and network devices used in AI / ML applications. It also has the added benefit of a mature ecosystem that has been built up to include a compliance testing framework to ensure interoperability between different vendors. This will demonstrate Keysight’s solutions that can be used to enable the testing of PCI Express 7.0 transmitter and receiver technologies.

PCIe 6.0 and CXL 2.0 Solutions – The rapid deployment of AI accelerators for use in compute arrays has driven the demand for higher speed PCIe chip-to-chip interfaces. Keysight’s PCIe 6.0 Analyzer and PCIe 6.0 Exerciser solutions will be used to show how live PCIe 6.0 protocol traffic can be generated and analyzed using advanced triggers and filters while emulating both root complex and endpoint scenarios.

1.6T 212G PHY Transmitter/Receiver Testing – In order to process the large datasets associated with AI and large language models, bandwidth improvements are needed in both the compute-oriented interfaces as well as those used to enable higher speed data networks. Keysight will demonstrate the testing and validation of next-gen SerDes designs running at 212 Gbps per lane which are used to enable high-performance computing to unleash the potential of AI.

Test USB4 in Record Time – This demonstration spotlights Keysight's test solution for USB4 transmitter, receiver, and return loss as well as test automation software featuring measurement acceleration technology to provide the fastest time-to-answer in the market.

Signal Integrity PLTS 2024 – With an increase in demand for high-speed digital designs and interconnects aimed at enabling AI / ML applications, there are new signal integrity design and measurement challenges to consider. This demonstration will highlight vector network analysis and time domain reflectometry measurement solutions Keysight has developed to address these new challenges.

DDR5 Simulation and Test – AI / ML implementations impose challenging throughput demands on DRAM memory resources which has driven the adoption of DDR5 designs. Keysight will demonstrate a validation solution for DDR5 as well as a new high bandwidth and low noise probing solution which can be used to accurately report the Tx and Rx performance of next-gen memory designs.
