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.

Cirrus Logic Redefines Timing for Automotive Audio and Pro Audio Systems

Next-Generation Timing Devices Deliver Elevated Performance, with Seamless Upgrade for all Existing Cirrus Timing Devices

Cirrus Logic (Nasdaq: CRUS), a leader in audio engineering and semiconductor innovation, today announced the launch of its new range of timing products, designed to deliver superior audio experiences in automotive and professional audio applications. The launch of this new product line is designed to bring innovation to the industry and provide existing customers with a smooth transition from their previous high-performance timing devices, enhancing functionality and elevating the overall user experience.

Enhanced Performance and Compatibility

The new timing devices, CS2500, CS2501, and CS2600, offer a seamless upgrade path for all existing timing customers while introducing advanced features to the market that generate stable low-jitter clocks and provide an ideal clocking solution for the most prevalent audio networks, enabling downstream audio-data converters and digital-audio systems to maximize their performance while keeping the systems completely synchronized.

Key highlights include:

  • Clean clock generation for exceptional audio quality providing lower than 50ps baseband jitter
  • Drop-in replacement compatibility with previous Cirrus Logic product lines, CS2000, CS2100, CS2200 and CS2300
  • Advanced hardware mode for simplified integration
  • Automatic rate detection to enhance ease of use
  • Glitchless clock transitioning always provides a clock; independent of the reference without causing a glitch
  • Phase sync loop ensures that multiple audio signals or devices stay precisely aligned

These innovations position Cirrus Logic's timing solutions as the ideal choice for system designers seeking to optimize audio performance across demanding applications.

Expanding Market Opportunities

"We are thrilled to introduce this product line to both the pro-audio and automotive markets,” said Eddie Sinnott, Director of Codecs & Standard Products at Cirrus Logic. “These new timing devices not only seamlessly replace our existing devices but also introduce new features that simplify integration and provide robust low-jitter clocks for digital audio applications. With advancements like phase sync loop, glitchless clock transitioning, and hardware-only mode, we're setting a new benchmark for clocking solutions.”

Versatility and Precision

The series is designed to be the perfect fit for a wide range of systems, offering:

  • Synchronization capabilities for complex audio networks
  • Improved reliability in automotive environments
  • Enhanced scalability for professional audio setups

This comprehensive feature set makes it an ideal choice for designers looking for a well-rounded clocking solution for high-fidelity audio subsystems within automotive and pro audio applications.

Availability

The new Cirrus Logic timing devices are now available for sampling to qualified customers. Full production is scheduled for May 2025.
