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’s UEX Series: USB 2.0 Extension over IP Networks

Solving Critical Connectivity Challenges

The UEX series leverages IP-friendly discovery approaches instead of polling, for more efficient performance, delivering better responsiveness and reliability for demanding applications in industrial control systems, manufacturing automation, video conferencing, and integrated medical operating rooms.

  • Unlike basic USB extenders that merely relay signals, Semtech’s UEX series enables secure transmission across IP networks with device class filtering.
  • Networkwide firmware updates without physical access.
  • Automatic notification to prevent USB maximum tier violations.
  • Plug-and-play performance requiring no software drivers.

“Our new UEX series represents a significant advancement in the USB extension market, providing our customers with what we believe to be unparalleled flexibility and control,” said Melissa Nolet, director of Pro AV solutions at Semtech. “By enabling USB 2.0 extension at the protocol layer with firmware upgradability over the network, we are empowering users to deploy sophisticated USB connectivity solutions across a wide range of applications, from industrial control systems to medical environments.”

Real World Applications Demonstrated

Leading AV integrator tt group and manufacturer IDK have already showcased UEX1000-based products at ISE 2025 in Barcelona in February, demonstrating the technology’s reliability and performance in real-world applications. These early implementations highlight the growing demand for robust USB extension solutions in professional settings.

About the UEX Series

The UEX2000 delivers standalone USB 2.0 extension for applications requiring distances up to 100m using standard category cabling, ideal for high-security installations requiring device monitoring.

The UEX1000 serves as a co-processor for Semtech’s BlueRiver AVP1000, AVP2000, and AVP2000T. When attached to an AVP, it enables full bandwidth USB 2.0 point-to-point extension and distribution over IP networks. Fully compatible with the BlueRiver chipset for AV over IP and Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE®) products, the UEX1000 is interoperable with the entire installed base of SDVoE products.

Experience UEX Series at InfoComm China 2025

Semtech will showcase its UEX series along with other innovations at InfoComm China 2025 (April 16-18, 2025) in Beijing. Visit Semtech at booth EN3-01 to experience the UEX technology firsthand and explore how these solutions can enhance your ProAV and USB connectivity applications.
