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.

Corning Collaborates with Broadcom To Accelerate AI Data Center Processing Capacity

Corning will supply optical components for Broadcom’s Bailly co-packaged optics technology

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), a world leader in glass science and optical physics, today announced a collaboration with Broadcom Incorporated (NASDAQ: AVGO), a leading supplier in the semiconductor field, on a co-packaged optics (CPO) infrastructure that will significantly increase processing capacity within data centers.

Corning will supply cutting-edge optical components for Broadcom’s Bailly CPO system, the industry’s first CPO-based 51.2 terabit per second (TBps) ethernet switch. This combination will deliver significant improvements in optical interconnection density and power savings, making it ideal for large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) clusters.

CPO infrastructure is meeting the needs of AI workloads by improving networking and processing bandwidth, density, and power efficiency inside data centers by placing optics and electronics closer together in a processing system. CPO can take AI to the next level by enabling higher speeds and densities while improving overall power efficiency in data centers.

Broadcom’s Bailly CPO system incorporates eight silicon photonics-based, 6.4 TBps optical engines that are co-packaged with Broadcom’s StrataXGS® Tomahawk®5 Ethernet switch chip. Corning is now a qualified supplier of the optical infrastructure that is needed to bring fibers to these optical engines. The fiber harnesses that make up this optical infrastructure include connectors for the front-plate and external laser modules, single mode and polarization maintaining fibers, and fiber array units (FAUs) that connect the fibers to the optical engines with a high degree of precision and reliability.

“As AI-enabled data centers continue to scale, Corning has been collaborating with Broadcom to ensure CPO connectivity needs are met with a high degree of performance and reliability,” said Benoit Fleury, Director, CPO Business Development, Corning Optical Communications. “With this latest collaboration, we're delivering an optical connectivity solution that enables unprecedented speeds and bandwidth concentrations with lower power consumptions and costs.”

“The explosive growth of AI workloads is driving unprecedented demands on interconnect bandwidth. Our multi-year collaboration with Corning on high density fiber connectivity solutions for the TH5-Bailly CPO system has resulted in breakthrough performance at scale,” said Sheng Zhang, Chief Technology Officer of Optical Systems Division, Broadcom. “We’re thrilled to deepen this relationship as we work together on the next-generation 200G per lane CPO solutions—unlocking even greater power efficiency and bandwidth density for the next generation of AI-powered data centers.”

Corning offers a wide range of optical fiber, cable, and connectivity solutions for data center networking, and continues to unveil new innovations as these networks rapidly evolve. For example, in addition to its collaboration with Broadcom on their CPO product development, Corning has also launched the CPO FlexConnect™ Fiber, a single mode fiber that is engineered for superior bend performance while mitigating multi-path interference (MPI) impairments to enhance the overall system performance of the optical infrastructure within a CPO system.
