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 Scorches NVIDIA in New Speed Test

Samba-1 Turbo performs at 1000 t/s, topping Artificial Analysis benchmark

SambaNova Systems, the generative AI solutions company with the fastest models and most advanced chips, is the clear winner of the latest large language model (LLM) benchmark by Artificial Analysis. Topping their Leaderboad at over 1000 tokens per second (t/s), Samba-1 Turbo sets a new record for Llama 3 8B performance.

“Our mission is to give every enterprise a custom AI system that comes at a lower cost,” said Rodrigo Liang, CEO and founder of SambaNova. “Blazing inference speed that doesn’t compromise accuracy is what developers need to put the power of a personalized LLM into the hands of their organization to streamline workflows and innovate faster.”

Micah Hill-Smith, Co-Founder & CEO of Artificial Analysis stated: “SambaNova's Samba-1 Turbo has set a new record for large language model inference performance in recent benchmarking by Artificial Analysis.

Artificial Analysis has independently benchmarked Samba-1 Turbo performance on Meta’s Llama 3 Instruct (8B) at 1,084 output tokens per second, more than 8 times faster than the median output speed across providers we benchmark. Artificial Analysis has verified that Llama 3 Instruct (8B) on Samba-1 Turbo achieves quality scores in line with 16-bit precision.

New frontiers in language model inference speed unlock new ways of building AI applications. Emerging use-cases include agents taking multi-step actions while maintaining seamless conversation, real-time voice experiences and high-volume document interpretation.”

Unlike competitors, which run the same model on hundreds of chips, Samba-1 Turbo runs Llama 3 8B at 1000 tokens per second (t/s) on just 16 chips, and can concurrently host up to 1000 Llama3 checkpoints on a single 16-socket SN40L node. This is the fastest speed for serving Llama 3, while maintaining full precision, at a much lower cost than competitors. The nearest competitor requires hundreds of chips to run a single instance of each model due to memory capacity limitations, and GPUs offer lower total throughput and lower memory capacity. SambaNova can run hundreds of models on a single node while maintaining this record speed, providing a 10x lower total cost of ownership than competitors.

"Samba-1 Turbo’s speed shows the beauty of Dataflow, which streamlines data movement on SN40L chips, minimizing latency, and maximizing processing throughput. It’s superior to the GPU – the result is instant AI,” said Kunle Olukotun, co-founder of SambaNova Systems and renowned computer scientist at Stanford University.
