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.

Lumentum Expands U.S. Manufacturing for AI-Driven Co-Packaged Optics

Investment in High-Power Laser Production to Strengthen America’s Global AI Infrastructure Leadership

Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum"), a global leader in optical and photonic technology, today announced a significant milestone in its commitment to innovation and U.S.-based manufacturing. The company will fund a major capacity expansion of its U.S.-based semiconductor facility. This initiative is expected to generate additional high-skilled engineering and manufacturing jobs, further strengthening the U.S. position in the global AI supply chain.

Lumentum is a primary supplier to the industry of ultra-high-power (UHP) lasers, essential components in Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) platforms. The UHP laser—an ultra-reliable indium phosphide product—is designed and manufactured at Lumentum’s Rose Orchard Way semiconductor facility in San Jose, California. Backed by decades of experience in high-power telecom lasers, the UHP laser supports low-power, highly resilient optical networking systems that are foundational to modern AI data centers.

“This investment is a testament to our leadership in laser and photonic technologies,” said Michael Hurlston, president and CEO of Lumentum. “Our commitment to expanding domestic manufacturing not only supports a robust AI infrastructure supply chain but also reinforces America’s role in global technology leadership.”

Lumentum has long been at the forefront of photonic innovation, advancing telecommunications, data centers, and industrial applications. With a foundation rooted in laser and optical technologies, the company enables the world’s most advanced systems, meeting the evolving demands of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time data processing in an era of rapid technological change. Lumentum is working with NVIDIA on advanced networking technologies for AI infrastructure.

“With AI transforming every industry, the demand for high-performance, energy-efficient optical interconnects is growing rapidly,” said Gilad Shainer, senior vice president, Networking, NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is working closely with industry innovators like Lumentum to deliver improved power efficiency and network resiliency for the AI factories of the future.”
