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.

Keysight’s advanced physical layer test solution delivers accurate and repeatable HDMI 2.2 compliance validation, empowering engineers to accelerate high-speed cable and transmitter design verification with confidence.

Keysight’s advanced physical layer test solution delivers accurate and repeatable HDMI 2.2 compliance validation, empowering engineers to accelerate high-speed cable and transmitter design verification with confidence.

With the rising demand for 8K/12K video, HDR content, and high-speed connectivity, engineers face growing challenges in maintaining signal integrity across HDMI interfaces. The recent release of the HDMI 2.2 test specification by the HDMI Forum introduces more stringent compliance requirements for transmitters and cables, highlighting gaps in traditional test coverage. Without robust validation tools, manufacturers risk costly redesigns and certification delays. As HDMI technology advances, the need for comprehensive, automated test solutions is critical to ensure performance, reliability, and faster time-to-market.

As the HDMI ecosystem evolves to support higher resolutions, faster refresh rates, and increased bandwidth demands, the Keysight Electrical Performance, Validation, and Compliance Test Solution for HDMI offers a fully automated and scalable platform for professionals in design, engineering, and compliance testing to validate device performance with confidence and precision. The new test solution provides a unified platform for automated electrical testing as specified in the HDMI 2.2 test specification, ensuring that device manufacturers can confidently validate product performance at the transmission and cable, while reception testing is introduced at a later stage.

Keysight’s physical layer compliance test solution for HDMI meets the latest technical and procedural demands of the HDMI Forum. Designed for precision and efficiency, the solution integrates high-bandwidth measurement hardware with automated compliance workflows to manage complex test scenarios across transmitters and cables. The modular architecture of the solution supports flexible test configurations, while built-in diagnostics provide deep insight into the root causes of signal degradation. This enables design and validation teams to not only verify compliance but also optimize performance early in the development cycle.

Han Sing Lim, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s General Electronic Measurement Division, said: “With the introduction of the Keysight Electrical Performance, Validation, and Compliance Test Solution for HDMI, our customers can accelerate time-to-market for next-gen consumer electronics while ensuring robust integrity and regulatory compliance. By incorporating the latest version of HDMI technology in our solution, we are enabling leading consumer electronics designers and manufacturers to continue to push the boundaries of digital display and multimedia performance.”

Backed by Keysight’s global expertise in compliance testing and proven in high-volume production environments, the new solution delivers a trusted path to certification readiness and superior end-product performance.
