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 Advances Capabilities of Vector Network Analyzer Portfolio

  • Delivers greater hardware versatility, reducing test setup complexity
  • Enables bi-directional noise figure and intermodulation distortion testing without external switches

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has expanded its PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer portfolio with the new NA520xA PNA-X, a highly configurable vector network analyzer (VNA) featuring four radio frequency (RF) signal sources, two internal combiners, and two low-noise receivers in a single instrument that accelerates component characterization.

When validating the design of a new device, RF development engineers must ensure the design meets the waveform and spectral characteristics outlined in the associated standard or specification. To do this, engineers must characterize the behavior of complex active components to ensure the system will perform as expected when it is deployed. However, this characterization process requires complex test setups that increase test cycle time and the potential to introduce errors into the development workflow.

The new Keysight PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer meets this challenge by simplifying complex characterization test setups with a highly configurable architecture offering four independent RF sources with pulse modulators and source filters.

Key benefits of the NA520xA PNA-X include:

  • Enhanced Hardware Integration – Four independent integrated, high-speed, ultra-low phase noise RF signal sources eliminate the need for external sources.
  • Expanded Measurement Versatility – Two low-noise receivers and signal combiners enable noise figure and intermodulation distortion measurements in two directions — without external switches.
  • Advanced Receiver Architecture – Eight wideband, high dynamic range, pre-selected receivers enable faster S-parameter and spectrum analysis measurements, and high-resolution pulsed RF measurements.
  • Flexible Design Verification Setup – Precision network analysis on a wide variety of complex active devices leveraging direct receiver access and accessible front-panel loops.

Bryan Hosein, Vice President of Engineering of Focus Microwaves Group, said: "The new PNA-X is yet another game changing advance from Keysight. Its four independent, phase-coherent sources are key to both our harmonic hybrid-active, and D-band hybrid vector load pull systems."

Joe Rickert, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s High-Frequency Measurements Center of Excellence, said: “The newest addition to the PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer portfolio is a testament to Keysight’s commitment to providing engineers with the tools they need to tackle increasingly complex RF design challenges. By integrating essential capabilities into a single, powerful instrument, we’ve significantly streamlined the design and testing process helping engineers get high-accuracy insights faster and accelerate time-to-market for our customers.”
