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 Introduces Industry’s First Compact Generic Access Platform (GAP) Node Designed for 4 GHz

  • Entra® EN3400 is a compact, multi-services GAP node optimized for multi-dwelling unit (MDU) and enterprise applications, supporting Remote PHY and 10G EPON today
  • Designed to support the transition to 50 Gbps PON, DOCSIS® 4.0, and future services over hybrid fiber coax (HFC) up to 4 GHz

Vecima Networks Inc. (VCM: TSX) today announced the launch of its Entra EN3400 Compact Generic Access Platform (GAP) Node, deployed as either a two-port, Remote PHY (R-PHY)-enabled cable access node supporting DOCSIS 4.0 or a two-port All-PON™ node.

In October 2021, Vecima announced the Entra EN9000, the world’s first commercially available GAP node, which is now in broad deployment with a Tier 1 Broadband Service Provider in North America. The EN3400 Compact GAP Node is a future-proof, “Forever Node” with a 4.0 GHz-capable housing supporting the same DOCSIS 3.1 Remote PHY and 10G-EPON modules as the EN9000 today, while seamlessly evolving to XGS-PON, DOCSIS 4.0, NRoC (New Radio over Coax) and future HFC and PON solutions.

Building on the interoperability of the EN9000, its open architecture allows operators to select the best solutions from a variety of vendors, driving down costs and ensuring network agility and scalability. Through future module upgrades for Unified DOCSIS 4.0, the EN3400 is targeting delivery of up to 20 Gbps downstream and 6 Gbps upstream as a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) cable access node.

In addition, the EN3400 offers flexible power options, including both standard AC power and 60/90V cable powering to support multi-dwelling unit, enterprise, and hospitality applications. This flexibility translates into significant long-term savings and operational efficiency by reducing the need for frequent hardware upgrades or replacements.

“The Entra EN3400 is the latest product from Vecima, building on the success of the original EN9000 GAP Node,” said Ryan Nicometo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Video & Broadband Solutions. “Designed for 4 GHz, the EN3400 is a high-performance, multi-application solution with a unique form factor suitable for MDU, hospitality, and enterprise deployments long into the future.”
