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.

64GT/s PAM4 Linear ReDriver from Diodes Incorporated Delivers Enhanced Signal Quality for PCIe® 6.0 Interface Speeds

Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) introduces the industry’s first ReDriver™ to reach PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 protocol speeds (up to 64 GT/s) while being backwards-compatible with PCIe 5.0/4.0/3.0 protocols. The PI3EQX64904 is a low-power, high-performance, 64GT/s, four-differential-channel, PAM4, linear ReDriver. Target applications include AI data centers (storage and servers), workstations, 5G networking, CPU-to-network (PCIe NIC card) and CPU-to-storage (NVME) interconnects, and CPU-to-CPU interconnects within high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.

The PI3EQX64904 ReDriver provides optimized linear equalization with tunable low-frequency and high-frequency zeros at the equalizer stage to boost the PAM4 signal quality of high-speed PCIe interfaces. It optimizes performance over a variety of physical media by reducing intersymbol interference, correcting for known channel losses at the transmitter, and restoring signal integrity at the receiver. This results in an improved eye pattern at the receiver with the margins required to deliver reliable PCIe communications at 64GT/s PAM4 with low bit error rates (BER).

The PI3EQX64904 meets the Modern Standby mode requirements outlined by Microsoft Corporation of consuming less than 5mW of power when the system is in PCIe L.1.2 deep standby mode. The device also delivers elevated linearity and ultra-low jitter characteristics. Linear ReDrivers are commonly used to achieve PCB trace extension while minimizing cost and power consumption. They can also deliver lower latency.

Requiring a supply voltage of 3.3V ±0.3V, the PI3EQX64904 ReDriver can operate over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is offered in a 31-contact W-LGA-31L (6.1mm x 2.7mm) package and is priced at $5.00 each in 3,000-piece quantities.

Diodes will be showcasing this new product at the PCI-SIG® Developers Conference, booth #11.
