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.

OmniOn Power Introduces New Osprey-Series Non-Isolated Bus Converters for AI Server Applications

  • 2-kilowatt (kW), 1.6kW, 1.3kW DC/DC converters achieve full load efficiency exceeding 97% at 12VDC output.
  • Compact design with industry-standard, modified DOSA digital quarter-brick sizes for more power in less space.

To meet the growing power demands of applications including artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs), and machine learning (ML), OmniOn PowerTM has developed a new family of high-power, non-isolated DC/DC bus converters – its Osprey family. The product family includes 2-kilowatt (kW) QODE167A0B, 1.6kW QODE136A0B, and 1.3kW QODE108A0B modules, with the 2kW version among the highest-powered bus converters available today in DOSA standard, quarter-brick footprints.

Meeting the High-Efficiency Power Needs of AI

Data centers worldwide currently consume 1-2% of all global power, and with recent advancements in AI technology, this share is predicted to rise to 3-4% by the end of the decade. Goldman Sachs Research estimates data center power demand will grow 160% by 2030, with regions like Taiwan leading the swift market uptick.

“As AI workloads continue to grow, the unprecedented amount of power being consumed by AI server racks has created an intense demand for cost-effective power solutions that provide high efficiency and power density,” said Vito Savino, data center and wireline segment leader for OmniOn Power. “Our new Osprey family of non-isolated bus converters addresses this challenge head-on, helping customers meet the needs of the latest graphics processing units (GPUs) and enabling them to continue to push the boundaries of AI innovation.”

Boasting peak efficiencies of up to 97.6%, the new Osprey bus converters feature a 40-60VDC input range and can transform 48V unregulated DC rack voltages into the regulated 12VDC output power required by high-performance GPUs with minimal power loss. The converters incorporate digital control, synchronous rectification technology, a regulated control topology, and innovative packaging techniques to achieve high efficiencies and provide low output ripple and noise.

The modules offer a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and incorporate a heat plate that allows for external heat sinks to be attached or for contact with a cold wall. The Osprey converters integrate a PMBus interface for power management and feature a variety of built-in protections, including output overcurrent and over voltage protection, over temperature protection, and input under and over voltage lockout.
