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.

SambaNova Unveils Sambaverse, Empowering Developers to Compare the Speed and Accuracy of Open Source LLMs

SambaNova Systems unveils Sambaverse, a unique playground and API where developers can test hundreds of available open source large language models (LLMs) from a single endpoint and directly compare their responses for any given application.

With Sambaverse, developers can compare multiple open source LLMs with a single query from a curated list of some of the most popular models found on Hugging Face. Upon entering a single prompt, Sambaverse simultaneously queries each model and displays the responses in real-time, enabling developers to compare and contrast the speed and accuracy of each.

“New base models like Llama2 from Meta, Mistral from MistralAI, and Gemma from Google are being developed by the open source community to create powerful expert models. However, the challenge is that developers don’t know which of these expert models, or combination of expert models, are best for their use case. They can’t rely on the quantitative benchmarks that exist today because they don’t adequately represent a developer’s use cases, so actual uses-case evaluation is the best way to choose which model is right for you,” said Kunle Olukotun, Co-founder and Chief Technologist at SambaNova Systems.

“While there are inference services to test a small number of these open source expert models, the future is multimodal. The diversity of models and ability to evaluate them quickly, connect them to create workflows, and access them concurrently is how one achieves real-time inference. Until now, there wasn’t a solution on the market today that offered the breadth of experts and the ability to concurrently evaluate these models in real-time. Sambaverse solves a very visceral problem for the developer community," Olukotun continued.

Sambaverse’s ability to compare multiple models in a single interface is made possible by its unique Composition of Experts (COE) model architecture, which runs best on SambaNova's SN40L system, with its 3-tier memory and dataflow architecture. This approach, available within Samba-1, gives enterprises and governments the performance, scalability, privacy and access control they require.
