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 and Sercomm Expand Partnership to Offer Interoperable All-PON™ Solutions for Broadband Service Providers

  • Vecima’s industry-leading Entra® EXS1610 and Sercomm’s family of Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) have completed rigorous PON interoperability testing



  • Joint Vecima-Sercomm solution offers flexibility to select the Optical Network Unit (ONU) vendor of choice without bookended, single vendor lock-in

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) and Sercomm today announced an expanded strategic partnership, having completed a broad set of interoperability tests, that enables Broadband Service Providers (BSPs) to deploy PON-based business and residential services.

With Vecima’s Entra Open Network Ecosystem (ONE), operators get best-in-class support for third-party ONTs/ONUs, ensuring no single vendor lock-in to specific customer premises equipment (CPE), enabling industry-leading investment protection. Sercomm is a key partner for Vecima’s interoperable PON solutions for both ITU PON and 10G EPON technology.

Sercomm’s XGS2200C10 ONU, designed for both Residential and Small-Medium Business (SMB) deployments, offers BSPs interoperable, cost effective 10Gbps broadband and voice services. Compliant with standard OMCI definition ITU-T G.984, the XGS2200C10 is firmware upgradable over TR-069 and works well with business routers, WiFi6/7 CPE, and IP set-top boxes.

Vecima’s Entra EXS1610 All-PON Shelf for ITU PON is 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 EPON, and is deployed today at multiple worldwide operators in multi-vendor CPE environments.

In addition, Vecima’s new Entra vPON Manager gives operators robust XGS-PON subscriber management and service provisioning capabilities, back-office management integration with telemetry support, and a simplified, interactive web user interface.

“We are proud to announce interoperability with Vecima’s EXS1610,” said Derek Elder, President of Sercomm Service Provider Business Group. "Sercomm partners with industry-leading OLT vendors and customers to bring innovative, interoperable, and cost-effective solutions to market.”

“Vecima’s innovative PON solutions lead the market in interoperability and reliability, core to our technology philosophy,” said Clay McCreery, Chief Operating Officer for Vecima. “With Sercomm now part of the Entra Open Network Ecosystem, BSPs have the flexibility to select the ONU vendor of choice and avoid single-PON-vendor lock-ins. Our partnership with Sercomm is an important step in broadening choice as BSPs deploy fiber services.”

The Vecima Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) product portfolio, recognized by the Dell’Oro Group as the global market share leader in Remote MACPHY and Remote OLT solutions from 2021-2024, is deployed by operators around the world. Learn more at vecima.com/broadband-access.
