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.

Vecima Networks Inc.

Other customers around the globe are planning lab trials of the platform for anticipated deployment this year.

A key component of Vecima’s industry-leading Fiber Access product portfolio, the EXS1610 All-PON Shelf allows customers to cost effectively deploy Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) services in any market or hub deployment, allowing maximum flexibility for customers.

The Entra EXS1610 supports multiple deployment use cases, including greenfield, targeted brownfields, rural edge-outs, hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) overbuilds, footprint extensions, and hub collapses. Its compact shelf footprint can help reduce operating costs and allows operators to deploy anywhere – indoors and out – for maximum flexibility, including data centers, remote cabinets, the headend, and multi-dwelling units.

The Entra EXS1610 All-PON Shelf features:

  • 16 x PON ports: 10G-EPON, XGS-PON, and GPON
  • Temperature-hardened for outside plant deployments
  • Multi-vendor optical network terminal (ONT) interoperability
  • Uplink optics: 2 x 100/40G & 2 x 25/10G with broad third-party optics support
  • 300mm depth designed for ETSI-rack
  • 1+1 AC or DC power redundancy

“Vecima is unique in offering a purpose-built, 16-port, 1 rack unit 10G-EPON shelf that shares the same software as the worldwide market share-leading Entra SF-4X Remote Optical Line Terminal (R-OLT) platform,” said Vijay Raman, Vice President of Fiber Access Product Line Management at Vecima. “Operators can be confident that the EXS1610 is ready to deploy at scale on day one.”

The Vecima Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) product portfolio, recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the North America market share leader in R-MACPHY and 10G-EPON Remote OLT solutions, is deployed by operators around the world.
