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.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

Keysight to Demonstrate AI Innovations at OFC 2025

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS):

What:

At OFC 2025, Keysight will showcase cutting-edge design, emulation, and testing solutions for smarter testing and deeper insights to optimize AI data center performance.

 

When:

April 1-3, 2025

 

Where:

Keysight booth #1301

Moscone Center, San Francisco

 

Info:

Keysight at OFC 2025

Join Keysight experts for the following demonstrations featuring the latest innovations in optical transmission and data center interconnect – powering next-gen AI experiences:

Research and Design Simulation

  • 448 Gbps Optical Research: Keysight will demonstrate its first 448 Gbps transmission using Keysight’s AWGs to drive an optical 448 Gbps PAM-4 modulator. 448G is the key enabler of 3.2Tb networks needed primarily for next-gen AI data center networks.
  • Photonics IC Testing: Keysight will illustrate how to verify photonics integrated circuits (PIC) at the wafer / die levels using a probing technology platform. PICs are instrumental in innovating data center interconnects for speed and power performance.
  • Keysight Photonics Designer: This demo will illustrate how to verify photonic integrated circuits (PIC) at the wafer/die levels.

Transceiver Solutions

  • 1.6 T Optical Tx Validation: This demo will showcase the new Keysight N1093B DCA-M to measure a TeraHop 1.6 T optical transceiver module, displaying an eye diagram and key measurements including TDECQ, OMA and RLM.
  • 224 G Interconnect Validation: This demo will showcase Keysight’s solution for validating the optical receiver interface of two energy efficient 224G interconnect candidates: linear pluggable optics and retimed transmitter, and linear receiver optical modules.
  • 1.6 Interconnect Testing: Keysight will demonstrate its benchtop test system and the new interconnect test software with level one stats validating BER/FEC and qualifying interconnects. This solution provides complete, high-quality interconnect testing, saving time, and ensuring accurate data transmission.

These three solutions are essential to enabling 1.6T transceiver development and compliance, scaling manufacturing and production, and ensuring reliability in AI data center networks with comprehensive Layer 1 – 3 testing.

Keysight will also be presenting several papers during OFC including:
