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.

Semtech Launches New Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection for Automotive Ethernet

Next-Generation Device Enables Reliable Multi-Gbps Vehicle Networks for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving

Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a high-performance semiconductor, Internet of Things (IoT) systems and cloud connectivity service provider, today announced availability of the RClamp10022PWQ, a two-line transient voltage suppressor designed specifically for automotive Ethernet applications. The new device is fully compliant with Open Alliance specifications for 10BASE-T1S, 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet interfaces.

The RClamp10022PWQ features robust ±15kV contact and ±25kV air discharge protection per IEC 61000-4-2, exceeding automotive requirements. Its ultra-low capacitance of 0.6pF maximum ensures signal integrity for high-speed automotive networks up to 10Gbps. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 standard, making it suitable for deployment in harsh automotive environments.

"As automotive networks evolve to support ADAS, autonomous driving features and infotainment systems, reliable high-speed data transmission becomes critical," said Eric Wentzel, product marketing director, automotive segment, protection products at Semtech. "The RClamp10022PWQ addresses this need by providing robust ESD protection while maintaining signal integrity across multiple Ethernet speeds, from 10Mbps to 10Gbps."

The device's compliance with Open Alliance specifications is particularly significant as automotive manufacturers standardize on Ethernet for in-vehicle networks. Open Alliance compliance ensures interoperability across different vehicle platforms and simplifies the qualification process for tier-1 suppliers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

Key features of the RClamp10022PWQ include:

  • Open Alliance compliant design.
  • Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
  • Flow-through package design for simplified PCB layout.
  • Side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection.
  • 1000 contact discharge endurance at ±15kV.

Semtech will showcase the RClamp10022PWQ along with its complete portfolio of automotive circuit protection solutions at the upcoming Automotive Ethernet Congress in Munich from February 18 – 20, 2025. Interested parties are invited to visit Semtech's stand in hall D-06 to learn more about available reference designs and connect with the company's technical experts.
