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.

Keysight Unveils Architecture for Scaling AI Data Centers

By: via Business Wire
  • Enables AI infrastructure providers to emulate and optimize all aspects of the data center, from the physical layer through the application layer
  • Validates and optimizes system-level performance, delivering seamless interoperability in AI data centers
  • Identifies weak links that degrade AI data center performance

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduces the Keysight Artificial Intelligence (KAI) architecture, a portfolio of end-to-end solutions designed to help customers scale artificial intelligence (AI) processing capacity in data centers by validating AI cluster components using real-world AI workload emulation. Providing system-level interoperability, performance, and efficiency insights, KAI helps operators maximize system performance and pinpoint performance issues not found when testing individual components.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250401559338/en/

The Keysight Artificial Intelligence architecture includes the newly announced KAI Data Center Builder and features four portfolio suites that address all aspects of AI data center design, from pre-silicon simulation to post-deployment system testing and troubleshooting.

The Keysight Artificial Intelligence architecture includes the newly announced KAI Data Center Builder and features four portfolio suites that address all aspects of AI data center design, from pre-silicon simulation to post-deployment system testing and troubleshooting.

Scaling AI data centers requires testing throughout the design and build process — every chip, cable, interconnect, switch, server, and graphics processing unit (GPU) needs to be validated at both the component and system level. Full-stack workload emulation complements physical layer testing, revealing insights not found when testing components alone. Customers can extract peak AI performance sooner, increasing capacity more quickly and maximizing the return on the billions spent on AI clusters.

The KAI architecture enables AI providers, semiconductor fabricators, and network equipment manufacturers to:

  • Accelerate design: Debug cutting-edge high-speed digital designs; meet or exceed the latest PCIe, DDR, and CXL standards.
  • Accelerate development: Verify component-level compliance, including high-speed interconnects, cables, and chipsets, and validate workload performance at the system level.
  • Accelerate deployment and operations: Validate and tune system-level performance across the entire data center, reducing the risk of workload failures by using end-to-end emulation to pinpoint system performance issues before deploying in production.

The Keysight AI architecture, which includes the newly announced KAI Data Center Builder, features four portfolio suites that together address all aspects of AI data center design, from pre-silicon simulation through post-deployment system testing and troubleshooting.

  • KAI Data Center Builder. Emulate high-scale AI workloads with measurable fidelity to improve system performance, predict and mitigate the impact of component failures, and optimize data center operations.
  • KAI Compute. Optimize high-speed digital designs and pioneer next-generation AI chip development with a suite of AI-ready tools that includes electronic design automation, bit-error ratio testers, oscilloscopes, and arbitrary waveform generators.
  • KAI Interconnect. Validate optical and electrical data paths to ensure scalable, high-speed connectivity up to 1.6T with a suite of AI-ready tools, including sampling oscilloscopes, photonic power meters, and network interconnect testers.
  • KAI Network. Benchmark AI network performance, detect bottlenecks, and optimize AI workload distribution with a suite of AI-ready tools that includes AI workload emulators, distributed network traffic generators, and network traffic emulators.
  • KAI Power. Optimize power efficiency and energy management across data center components with a suite of AI-ready tools that include oscilloscopes, power rail probes, and electronic design automation.

Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst, 650 Group, said: “Accelerating design and deployment of next-generation AI/ML ASICs is key to unlocking the market as customers move from foundational training to agentic models. AI interconnect through scale-up, scale-out, and frontend networks will drive record 800GE and 1.6T port shipments over the next several years with one of the fastest innovation cycles to ever occur in the industry. The Keysight Artificial Intelligence architecture and KAI Data Center Builder solution will help customers scale and adapt to this new market opportunity.”

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: “Scaling AI data centers requires more than component-level validation. Interoperability, performance, and efficiency are system-wide metrics that can only be measured under real-world network conditions. Keysight’s AI solutions integrate our deep experience in traffic emulation, component, and network compliance validation, and the latest industry standards to emulate every aspect of data center performance: compute, network, interconnect, and power to ensure AI infrastructure meets evolving demands.”
