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.

Keysight Introduces Pulse Generator Option for Handheld Analyzers

  • New software application makes FieldFox the industry’s only handheld analyzer with a built-in signal generator at frequencies up to 54 GHz
  • Generates pulses including FM chirps, FM triangles, AM pulses, and custom sequences as well as continuous wave signals with a variety of analog modulations and user-defined pulse sequences
  • Highly sought-after capability supports uses including air traffic control radar testing, simulating automotive radar, and conducting radio frequency leakage checks

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has expanded the software applications for its FieldFox portfolio of handheld radio frequency (RF) analyzers to include a pulse generator. Available for B- and C-Series FieldFox handheld analyzers, the downloadable Option 357 pulse generator offers field engineers a diverse array of pulse types at frequencies up to 54 GHz.

Field engineers conduct routine maintenance on and troubleshoot RF, microwave, and millimeter wave (mmWave) systems. During their work, they need to test a variety of devices and systems to ensure they are working as intended by using the data signals created by a pulse generator. To generate the diverse types of pulses needed for field testing, engineers need multiple expensive pulse generators that may not be specifically designed for field use.

The Keysight FieldFox Option 357 signal generator software addresses this challenge by enabling engineers to quickly upgrade existing B- and C-Series FieldFox handheld analyzers to meet their specific testing needs on the fly. All that is needed for field engineers to take advantage of the only handheld analyzer in the industry with an embedded pulse generator is a software license key and a firmware upgrade.

The new Option 357 signal generator application offers the following benefits:

  • Maximum carrier frequency coverage – Operates at frequencies up to 54 GHz depending on the FieldFox model used.
  • Wide array of pulse types – Includes standard pulses, FM chirps, FM triangles, AM pulses, and user-definable pulse sequences. In addition, it can create continuous wave (CW) signals with or without AM / FM modulations, including Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK).
  • Easy-to-read interface – Displays key parameters of the generated signal in both numerical and graphical formats.
  • Multiple field uses – Supports applications including field radar testing for air traffic control, simulating automotive radar, conducting field EMI leakage checks, and testing the propagation loss of mobile networks.
  • Optimize field instrument investment – Enables engineers to quickly add pulse generation capabilities to existing FieldFox handhelds to save time and money.

Vince Nguyen, Vice President and General Manager, Aerospace, Defense, and Government Solution Group at Keysight, said: “When engineers are in the field, they need flexible test solutions that can be adapted quickly to rapidly changing needs. With the FieldFox Option 357 pulse generator software application, Keysight is delivering a long sought-after capability for high-impact field applications in the aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications industries. As the only handheld analyzer that features a built-in pulse generator covering up to 54 GHz, FieldFox optimizes field instrument investments with a software-defined platform that can easily be configured through software license keys.”
