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.

FRONTGRADE SUCCESSFULLY TESTS GAN DC-DC CONVERTER AND EMI FILTER

Frontgrade Technologies, a leading provider of mission-critical electronics for aerospace and defense, has successfully tested its Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based DC-DC converter and complementary electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. These tests validate the devices' ability to meet the demanding performance requirements of space missions from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) through Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO).

The tests were performed in accordance with the Defense Logistics Agency’s MIL-STD-883 Test Methods which included External Visual (2009), Internal Visual & Mechanical (2014), Temperature Cycling (1010), Constant Acceleration (2001), Random Vibration (2026), End-Point Electrical (in accordance with device specification), and Life Test (2009). Frontgrade is pursuing MIL-PRF-38534 Class L qualification with the Defense Logistics Agency, and QML approval is currently pending.

Frontgrade’s 28V GaN DC-DC Converter leverages advanced GaN FET technology to provide spacecraft designers with one of the most efficient power conversion solutions available today, offering 93% efficiency. With faster switching, improved performance, and a small-volume design, it responds rapidly to dynamic power demands and provides multiple voltage outputs for maximum flexibility. This device is designed to convert power seamlessly from the bus to the point of load, ensuring optimal performance for current and future space applications.

“Our GaN converter has undergone rigorous testing, demonstrating its reliability in addressing the critical power management needs of next-generation satellites,” said Lorne Graves, Chief Technology Officer at Frontgrade Technologies. “With Frontgrade’s flight-ready modules and evaluation test boards, our customers can accelerate their development cycles to achieve on-time mission success.”

Flight and engineering modules and evaluation test boards are now available, providing the essential tools for development, testing, and deployment in mission-critical spacecraft systems.
