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 Providing Software to Enable Researchers through the Microelectronics Commons

  • Electronic design automation (EDA) tools recognized by the Microelectronics Commons as a critical need to ensure success

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced it has reached an agreement to provide its electronic design automation (EDA) software to six of the eight hubs participating in the Microelectronics Commons (Commons). The Commons, created in 2023 under the United States’ CHIPS and Science Act, is part of a $2 billion, four-year initiative to accelerate domestic microelectronics hardware prototyping and workforce development.

Through the agreement, Keysight acknowledged the importance of the Commons efforts, which aim to unite researchers and engineers from academia and industry to ensure technologies reach maturity, bridging the gap from lab-to-fab.

Six of the eight hubs participating in the Commons worked through the Cross Hub Enablement Solution (CHES) Working Group to centralize their EDA infrastructure. The Midwest Microelectronics Consortium (MMEC) led the effort, which will collaborate with its partners to host the centralized infrastructure. Over the past year, Keysight has actively engaged in discussions to make its EDA toolset available to users.

Hubs participating in the CHES Working Group can use Keysight EDA software for their projects. In addition to EDA software, hub members will have access to other Keysight tools, including design data/IP management software and various test and measurement applications. Each hub will collaborate with its members on projects to take research from the concept phase to commercialization.

With its broad solutions portfolio spanning the entire design process, this agreement recognizes Keysight as a critical software provider. Keysight’s industry-leading RF and microwave EDA software expertise helps designers ensure first-pass design success by creating accurate digital twins. Leveraging Keysight’s expertise in measurements also enables engineers to correlate their results between design, simulation, and test and measurement. Additionally, Keysight offers a comprehensive portfolio of design data and intellectual property (IP) management software. This software allows designers to track changes made to designs and see their IP usage throughout the design process, providing a crucial tool for ensuring traceable data while safeguarding sensitive IP.

Paul Colestock, Director of Commercial Innovation, Midwest Microelectronics Consortium said: “We are very excited about the capabilities that Keysight will provide to organizations in the Commons CHES ecosystem. In addition to its RF and Systems Design platforms, Keysight brings a unique data and IP management platform. Keysight's design, test, and modeling data management solution is essential for assurance, and its data curation capability will be critical to delivering successful lab-to-fab transitions and new digital twinning capabilities that the Commons and our Nation depend on.”

Nilesh Kamdar, Design and Verification Business Unit Lead of Keysight EDA, said: “Keysight recognizes the importance of the Commons and its vital role in bringing together researchers and engineers from academia and industry to bridge the gap from lab-to-fab. This agreement underscores Keysight's commitment to driving innovation in microelectronics and supporting the development of critical technologies for national security and economic competitiveness. Keysight’s EDA tools are at the forefront of enabling the hubs of the Microelectronics Commons. We look forward to continuing this engagement to advance the Commons as we move into the future.”

Mark Pierpoint, Vice President of Strategic Innovation and Partnerships for Keysight Technologies, said: “To facilitate the lab-to-fab transition, the Microelectronics Commons is a vital part of the United States’ efforts to revitalize the domestic semiconductor ecosystem. Keysight is uniquely positioned to help engineers and researchers advance their semiconductor maturity by leveraging the company's EDA solutions coupled with its world leading test & measurement capabilities. We look forward to this ongoing partnership to support the success of the Microelectronics Commons.”
