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.

SMART Modular Technologies Introduces DDR5 RDIMMs with Conformal Coating for Liquid Immersion Servers

Conformal coating process protects modules from corrosion and provides higher reliability and reduced cost for data center applications

SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. (“SMART”), a division of SGH (Nasdaq: SGH) and a global leader in memory solutions, solid-state drives, and advanced memory, has launched a new line of DDR5 Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) with conformal coating which are specifically designed for use in liquid immersion servers. This innovative product line combines the superior performance of DDR5 technology with enhanced protection, ensuring reliability and longevity in the most demanding data center environments.

Arthur Sainio, DRAM product director for SMART explains the significance of this introduction, "Our new DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating represent the perfect fusion of cutting-edge performance and rugged reliability for the next generation of immersion-cooled data centers. By combining the speed and efficiency of DDR5 technology with advanced protective coatings, we're enabling our customers to push the boundaries of computing power while ensuring long-term durability in demanding liquid immersion environments. This product embodies our commitment to innovation and our drive to meet the evolving needs of high-performance computing applications."

There are three key advantages to designing in DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating.

  1. Protection against corrosion - Conformal coating protects against corrosion by shielding sensitive electronic components from corrosive elements and by providing a protective barrier against environmental threats, such as oxidation, extending the lifespan of the memory modules.
  2. Reduced maintenance - Coating modules aids in maintenance requirements due to the enhanced protection from corrosion, which results in higher reliability and lower maintenance costs.
  3. Thermal stability – Conformal coating modules provides thermal stability and makes them particularly well suited for liquid immersion cooling systems, which are gaining popularity for their efficiency and sustainability. Liquid immersion cooling offers a consistent thermal environment, reducing the risk of thermal hotspots and improving overall system reliability.

SMART’s DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating are designed to support the most demanding workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), high-performance computing (HPC), and dense database analytics. With support for up to 256GB per module, these modules are perfect for liquid immersion server applications requiring large memory capacities and high data throughput.

SMART’s DDR5 RDIMMs with conformal coating are available immediately through our global sales network. Visit SMART’s liquid immersion RDIMM page for more information.
