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.

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) will showcase its new Entra vPON Manager, cloud-based XGS-PON platform at ANGA COM and Fiber Connect in June.

Entra vPON Manager gives operators robust XGS-PON subscriber management and service provisioning capabilities, plus back-office management integration with telemetry support, and a simplified, interactive web user interface. It integrates seamlessly with BSPs’ back-office management tools and incorporates a cloud-native microservices architecture that works across integrated and disaggregated Vecima PON solutions.

In addition, with the Entra Open Network Ecosystem (ONE), operators get best-in-class support for third-party ONTs/ONUs, ensuring no single PON vendor lock-in to specific customer premises equipment (CPE) and enables industry-leading investment protection. New ONT/ONU vendors are added regularly, based on industry standards.

Vecima’s Entra EXS1610 All-PON™ Shelf is the first ITU-PON platform supported with Entra vPON Manager, combining scalability with operational simplicity for fiber-to-the-home deployments. The EXS1610 supports multiple PON types, including ITU XGS-PON and IEEE 10G-Ethernet PON (10G EPON).

The EXS1610 All-PON Shelf enables BSPs to cost effectively deploy Fiber services in any outside plant, market or hub deployment, allowing maximum flexibility. With a temperature-hardened, 16-port, 1 rack unit form factor, the EXS1610 supports multiple use cases, including greenfield, targeted brownfields, rural edge-outs, hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) overbuilds, footprint extensions, and hub collapses.

“Vecima’s ‘All-PON’ approach is rooted in our guiding principle of delivering open, flexible, and interoperable solutions that enable our customers to future-proof their access networks and select a PON management solution and ONT vendor of their choice,” said Vijay Raman, Vice President of Product Line Management at Vecima. “Designed from the ground up with Entra ONE, our platform supports interoperability, advanced management capabilities and seamless integration through industry leading technology and market partnerships.”
