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.

USound Unveils Ultrasonic Micro Module for Distance Measurement and Proximity Sensing Applications at CES

USound’s latest MEMS-based Ready-to-Deploy Ultrasonic Module will be showcased at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

USound, the global leader in MEMS loudspeakers, today announced the showcase of its fully developed ultrasonic sensing module at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Demonstrations of the ready-to-deploy solution will take place at The Venetian, Suite 29-325, where visitors can experience its advanced capabilities for commercial applications.

“This ultrasonic module highlights the versatility of USound’s MEMS speakers and their ability to deliver solutions beyond audio,” said Ferruccio Bottoni, CEO and Co-founder of USound. “Built with standard components and powered by our proprietary firmware, this product is ready for deployment in commercial applications requiring precise distance measurement and proximity sensing. In 2025, USound will unveil several ready-to-deploy audio and ultrasound applications, demonstrating the full potential of our MEMS technology across industries.”

USound’s Ultrasonic Sensing Module

The ultrasonic module integrates USound’s Conamara MEMS tweeter driven by the Tarvos amplifier, paired with a third-party MEMS microphone. USound’s firmware processes the ultrasonic waves emitted by the tweeter, measures the time taken for the reflected waves to return, and calculates the distance with high accuracy.

Key Features:

  • Fully Developed Solution: Ready for integration into commercial devices, requiring no further hardware or software development.
  • Standard Components: Built with USound’s proven Conamara tweeter and Tarvos amplifier, ensuring reliability and scalability.
  • High Precision: Conamara’s flat frequency response throughout the ultrasonic range enables accurate ranging and proximity detection.
  • Compact and Energy-Efficient: At 5mm ⌀ and 1.5mm thick, the module meets stringent space constraints, while the low-power Tarvos amplifier supports energy-efficient operation.

This module is ideal for a wide range of embedded applications, including consumer electronics, robotics, IoT devices, and industrial sensing solutions.

Live Demonstration at CES 2025

Visitors to USound’s suite at CES will experience live demonstrations of the ultrasonic sensing module in action, showcasing its accuracy and commercial readiness.

Zero VDC: A Breakthrough in MEMS Speaker Technology

Visitors of suite 29-325 at The Venetian will also have the opportunity to learn more about another breakthrough; the ability to drive USound speakers without DC bias. This recent development enables customers to reach a higher sound pressure level (SPL) performance. Moreover, the zero VDC circuit is reduced by four components, providing a more straightforward and low-cost implementation. USound’s microspeakers are the only MEMS drivers that can be driven without DC bias.
