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 Announces Production Availability of 227 Gbps Equalizers Supporting 1.6 Terabit Connectivity

MACOM solutions supporting high-speed copper cabling at 200G per lane to be on display at DesignCon in Booth 802

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”) today announced production availability of its 227 Gbps per lane family of linear equalizers supporting active copper cable (ACC) applications. These innovative devices can help extend the reach of traditional twinax copper Direct Attach Cables (DAC), which become reach limited at 227 Gbps per lane transmission speeds. MACOM’s new linear equalizers can more than double the reach of DAC cables, enabling longer 1.6 Tbps copper cable assemblies for intra-rack connectivity in high-performance computing clusters.

MACOM’s linear equalizers employ un-retimed, analog equalization techniques which enable lower power consumption and reduced link latency in short reach applications as compared to retimed copper cable solutions or active electrical cables (AEC). These critical parameters are essential for high density compute cluster applications.

The two MACOM products supporting this solution are MAEQ-40904, a small form-factor die solution, and the MAEQ-40914, a packaged part version. Both devices are designed for small form factor cable connectors, including two channel DSFP, four channel QSFP and eight channel QSFP-DD and OSFP as well as 16 channel OSFP-XD, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. This family of products can also be used in on-board applications to help improve signal integrity and extend trace lengths by providing a signal boost on each channel.

These solutions will be showcased at MACOM’s booth #802 at the upcoming DesignCon in Santa Clara, CA from January 29 to 30, 2025. Visitors can also explore other MACOM products, such as:

  • MACOM PURE DRIVE™ 200 Gbps per Lane Linear Drive: MACOM is pushing the boundaries of its MACOM PURE DRIVE portfolio, now supporting 227 Gbps per lane, to facilitate the development of 1.6 T linear pluggable optical (LPO) modules. This technology can eliminate the need for a DSP in optical modules, offering industry-leading low power and low latency solutions. This demonstration will feature optical connectivity solutions, leveraging MACOM’s leading transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) and laser drivers.
  • PCIe-over-Fiber: Discover how PCIe technology is being extended over fiber optics to support low latency and longer reach applications.
