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 Introduces Electronic Design Automation Software Suite Amplifying Designer Productivity with AI

  • Reduces Radio Frequency (RF) device modeling time from days to hours
  • Automated Python workflows streamline design processes
  • Accelerates predictive design of chiplet interconnects

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduced its new Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software portfolio to transform how engineers address the demands of next-generation technologies. As the electronics industry races to develop advanced solutions for 5G/6G and data center applications, Keysight’s suite of EDA tools leverages AI, machine learning (ML), and Python integrations to dramatically reduce design time for complex RF and chiplet products.

Keysight’s EDA 2025 software addresses critical challenges in the development lifecycle by enhancing data manipulation, integration, and control of best-in-class simulators, allowing engineers to build efficient workflows seamlessly across multiple tools. AI-enhanced workflows and high-performance computing further reduce the time-to-insight, enabling engineers to move from simulation to verification and compliance with greater confidence. For simulating fast digital interconnects, the software is equipped with end-to-end component models and measurements that conform to digital standards, providing an efficient and high-accuracy digital twin for complex digital electronic design challenges.

Core benefits of the EDA 2025 software portfolio include:

  • RF Circuit Design: Accelerate RF design cycles through open, automatable workflows featuring Python integration and multi-domain simulation. Additionally, the Python toolkit enables engineers to quickly consolidate measured load pull data from various files and formats into a single, cohesive dataset to train fast AI/ML models.
  • High-speed Digital Design: Create precise digital twins for complex standard-specific SerDes designs, including Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) chiplets, memory, USB®, and PCIe ®, with the Advanced Design System (ADS) 2025 release.
  • Device Modeling and Characterization: Reduce model re-centering time by 10X through AI/ML capabilities in the IC-CAP 2025 release, while Python integrations streamline and automate the modeling process.

Nilesh Kamdar, EDA Design & Verification General Manager at Keysight, said, "AI is transforming how engineers approach complex design challenges. Automating traditionally time-intensive tasks enables engineers to focus on innovation rather than repetitive refinements, resulting in real productivity gains. The foundation for the practical application of AI and ML is first having an open, interoperable workflow and then providing turn-key solutions tuned for specific applications. It's a fascinating time, and AI and ML will undoubtedly be a huge driver of design innovation in the future."

Stephen Slater, Director of Product Management at Keysight, said, “With this release, engineers can easily import data from measurements or swept simulations to train neural network models, which then execute very quickly in subsequent simulations. This unlocks new possibilities for abstracting and co-optimizing large parts of the RF design together, dramatically accelerating the development process.”
