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 Showcase Extensive RF and Microwave Capabilities and Foundry Services at IMS2024

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, will showcase its latest RF, microwave and millimeter wave products at Booth #921 and its enhanced foundry services at Booth #744 at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Washington, DC from June 18 to 20, 2024.

MACOM will be highlighting more than 14 technology demonstrations at the show, spanning its various product lines, including Diodes, RF Power, MMIC and Linear Modules and Subsystems. The booth will feature the latest new product additions to the company’s broad product portfolio. MACOM will also be highlighting its expanded Foundry services offerings at the show. Customers and attendees will have the opportunity to engage with MACOM’s design engineering, product management and applications engineering teams who will provide in-depth explanations of MACOM’s solutions and benefits.

IMS2024 demonstrations and new product announcements will include:

  • GaN-on-SiC MMIC Ka-Band Power Amplifier: This demonstration showcases a 6 W driver and a 10 W PA operating in the 33 to 37 GHz band. These parts are fabricated using MACOM’s 140 nm GaN-on-SiC technology.
  • 300 W X-Band GaN-on-SiC Matched Power Amplifier: A new addition to the MACOM RF product portfolio, this amplifier is fully matched to 50 ohms at both input and output ports. Ideal for pulsed radar applications such as marine, defense and weather radar, it provides an ideal combination of output power, signal gain and drain efficiency in a small form factor at 9 GHz.
  • C-Band 100 W GaN-on-SiC Power Amplifier with 57% Power Added Efficiency (PAE): This GaN Power Amplifier combines high gain and high efficiency for pulsed power applications within a small footprint (7 x 7 mm). This demonstration also features MACOM’s XP1044 driver amplifier and MACP-011113 surface mount directional coupler.
  • 250 W 2.4 to 2.5 GHz High Power GaN Pallet: This two-stage GaN Amplifier Pallet, part of MACOM’s recently expanded range of RF solutions, is tailored for Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) applications. This turnkey solution features the industry’s most efficient microwave CW transistor in a plastic package, enhancing cost effectiveness.
  • GaN-on-Si MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with Fast Recovery Time: By utilizing MACOM’s proprietary 100 nm GaN-on-Si technology, MACOM delivers robust low noise LNAs with industry-leading recovery time. This combination of ruggedness, low noise figure and fast recovery time make these LNAs ideal for radar and electronic warfare (EW) applications.
  • GaN Switch: This demonstration displays MACOM GaN-on-Si switch solutions highlighting a C-Band GaN switch with a P0.1dB of greater than 50 W. In addition, the company’s latest high frequency GaN-on-Si switch offerings will be on display.
  • Linearized Q-Band GaN PA MMIC for SATCOM: This demonstration highlights MACOM linearizer technology. Combining a Q-Band GaN-on-Si amplifier, designed for satellite communications, with a wideband analog linearizer, MACOM will show how it is possible to simultaneously achieve optimal linearity, PAE and output power for SATCOM.
  • Quad L-Band to Ka-Band Block Upconverter: This integrated solution offers excellent phase noise performance, an analog or digital interface and low sensitivity to microphonics. It simplifies system linearity and provides benefits in terms of cost, size, mass and complexity.
