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.

Parade PS8780 USB4v2 / TBT5 Bi-directional Redriver Features Full Performance, Low Power for Cables and Systems

Parade Technologies, Ltd. (Taiwan OTC: 4966.TWO), a leading high-speed interface, video display, and touch controller IC supplier, announces the availability of the PS8780 USB4 Version 2 (USB4v2) Gen 4 / TBT5 / DP 2.1 Alt Mode bi-directional linear redriver for active cable and NB/PC/WS system applications. It is pin compatible with the PS8778 USB4 Gen 3 / TBT4 / DP 2.1 Alt Mode bi-directional linear redriver.

The PS8780 supports USB4v2 up to Gen 4x2 or 2x 40Gbps symmetric and 120Gbps asymmetric modes, TBT5 2x41.25Gbps, and DP 2.1 Alt Mode UHBR20 link rates. It implements USB4, USB 3.2 and DP 2.1a power management including DP 2.1a Advanced Link Power Management (ALPM). Its low power design and Modern Standby support greatly extend battery life for mobile devices and minimize power consumption for active cables. PS8780 comes in a very small package, ideal for cables or space constrained designs.

PS8780 enables much longer cable lengths with full USB4v2 performance than 1 meter or 3.3 ft., typical of passive cables on the market. It extends system PCB trace lengths when cascaded with a USB4v2 retimer between the SoC (USB4v2 router) and USB-C/USB4 connector.

“PS8780 features industry’s lowest operational power with full performance for a USB4v2 / TBT5 / DP 2.1 Alt Mode linear redriver,” says Jimmy Chiu, Executive VP of Marketing at Parade Technologies. “USB4v2 active cables can greatly benefit from its low power consumption and very small package. Systems with long PCB traces can now be implemented by OEMs by cascading the PS8780 USB4v2 linear redriver with a USB4v2 retimer from Parade as a total solution.”

Availability

The PS8780 is sampling. It comes in a 2.8mm x 4.4mm 28-pin QFN Halogen free RoHS package.
