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.

Renesas Introduces Industry’s First Complete Memory Interface Chipset Solutions for Second-Generation DDR5 Server MRDIMMs

New Multiplexed Registered Clock Driver, Multiplexed Data Buffer and PMIC Enable Next-Generation MRDIMM Speeds up to 12,800 Mega Transfers per Second for AI and High-Performance Compute Applications

Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that it has delivered the industry’s first complete memory interface chipset solutions for the second-generation DDR5 Multi-Capacity Rank Dual In-Line Memory Modules (MRDIMMs).

The new DDR5 MRDIMMs are needed to keep pace with the ever-increasing memory bandwidth demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Compute (HPC) and other data center applications. They deliver operating speeds up to 12,800 Mega Transfers Per Second (MT/s), a 1.35x improvement in memory bandwidth over first-generation solutions. Renesas has been instrumental in the design, development and deployment of the new MRDIMMs, collaborating with industry leaders including CPU and memory providers, along with end customers.

Renesas has designed and executed three new critical components: the RRG50120 second-generation Multiplexed Registered Clock Driver (MRCD), the RRG51020 second-generation Multiplexed Data Buffer (MDB), and the RRG53220 second-generation Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC). Renesas also offers temperature sensor (TS), and serial presence detect (SPD) hub solutions in mass production, making it the only memory interface company that offers the complete chipset solutions for industry standard next-generation MRDIMMs as well as all other server and client DIMMs.

“The demand for higher performance systems driven by AI and HPC applications is relentless,” said Davin Lee, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Analog & Connectivity and Embedded Processing. “Renesas is at the forefront of this trend, working with industry leaders to develop next-generation technology and specifications. These companies depend on Renesas to deliver the technical know-how and the production capabilities they require to meet unprecedented demand. Our latest chipset solutions for second-generation DDR5 MRDIMMs showcase our leadership in this market.”

Renesas’ RRG50120 second-generation MRCD is used on the MRDIMMs to buffer the Command/Address (CA) bus, chip selects and the clocks between the host controller and DRAMs. It consumes 45% less power compared to the first-generation device, a critical specification for heat management in very high-speed systems. The RRG51020 Gen2 MDB is the other key device used in the MRDIMMs to buffer data from the host CPU to DRAMs. Both the new Renesas MRCD and MDB support speeds up to 12.8 Gigabytes per Second (Gbps). Additionally, Renesas’ RRG53220 next-generation PMIC offers best-in-class electrical-over-stress protection and superior power efficiency and is optimized for high-current and low-voltage operation.

Availability

Renesas is sampling the RRG50120 MRCD, the RRG51020 MDB, and the RRG53220 PMIC now, and expects the new products to be available for production in the first half of 2025. More information on these new products is available at www.renesas.com/DDR5.
