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.

MACOM to Demonstrate 100G/Lane Switch to Server Link with LPO Interface at OFC 2024

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, announced a switch-to-server interoperability demonstration of its linear drive 100G per lane components at the Optical Networking and Communications Conference 2024 (“OFC”) in San Diego. The live demonstration of the optical link leverages:

- MACOM PURE DRIVE™ Transimpedance Amplifiers (“TIA”) and Laser Drivers

- Broadcom’s BCM57608 Series Ethernet Network Interface Card (“NIC”)

- Broadcom’s Tomahawk® 5 Ethernet Switch Chip

The switch-to-server link represents an important use case for the linear drive architecture, which can provide an optimized interconnect solution for Cloud infrastructure. Linear drive modules eliminate the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) from pluggable optical modules enabling lower power consumption, improving signal latency and reducing cost.

“Due to linear drive’s benefits, the demand for linear pluggable optical (LPO) modules with MACOM PURE DRIVE technology is expanding. We are pleased to demonstrate a working example of 100G/lane switch-to-server connectivity leveraging this technology,” said Ryan Latchman, Vice President, High-Performance Connectivity Product Marketing, MACOM.

“With leading 400G throughput and power consumption, Broadcom’s BCM57608 NIC is highly optimized for AI/ML applications,” said Andy Wesson, Director of Product Marketing, Data Center Solutions Group, Broadcom. “Taking advantage of Broadcom’s SerDes technology leadership and MACOM’s PURE DRIVE solution, LPO modules can deliver the thermal performance, low latency and interconnect resiliency that AI data centers require.”

MACOM will host live demonstrations at OFC 2024 at booth #3025. To schedule a meeting to learn more about MACOM’s Laser Drivers and TIAs, please reach out to sales@macom.com or visit www.macom.com.
