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.

Cryptocurrency Milestone: Kaspa Hits Record 10 Blocks Per Second on Testnet, Redefines Proof-of-Work Speed Standards

Israel, 27th Jun 2023 – Kaspa, a pioneering proof-of-work network, announces a historic milestone: achieving 10 Blocks Per Second (BPS) on its testnet, establishing a new benchmark in cryptocurrency.

Kaspa launched Testnet 11, its public experimental network, to achieve this unprecedented block rate. This landmark provides an exciting opportunity for future innovation, inviting developers, crypto-enthusiasts, and innovative minds worldwide to stress-test various approaches and ideas.

“A 10 blocks/sec system is highly sensitive to minor errors or even suboptimal engineering; it requires a deep understanding of p2p consensus modules interplay and top-notch execution capabilities. I hope more devs will join the project, if anything, merely to enjoy the beauty manufactured,” says Yonatan Sompolinsky, Kaspa Founder and co-author of the GHOSTDAG protocol.

Testnet 11 has carried thousands of transactions per second across multiple network nodes on everyday hardware, demonstrating that a proof-of-work protocol can scale without compromising decentralization or security. This pioneering triumph promises significant advancements for anyone eager to explore and expand the boundaries of cryptocurrency possibilities.

Michael Sutton, a distributed systems researcher & Kaspa core developer, reflected on the achievement: “With the advent of GHOSTDAG as a scalable consensus protocol, we have reached a pivotal point where performance becomes paramount. Scaling a cryptocurrency is no longer constrained by the protocol; it now hinges on computation limits. Moreover, the powerful combination of widespread multi-core computers and the inherent parallelism opportunities of DAGs has allowed us to push the boundaries to their limits. This convergence of consensus and high-performance computing (HPC) unlocks untapped potential, propelling us towards new horizons of research and innovation.”

GHOSTDAG co-author Shai Deshe, Kaspa quantum & cryptography researcher, added: “This is the first time a permissionless, public, proof-of-work network has demonstrated four-digit transaction rates directly on the consensus layer while running on affordable hardware. Some of the participants reported running on nine-year-old laptops! We are on track to prove that proof-of-work can actually scale just as well as proof-of-stake, but without the sacrifices to centralization and security. 3000 TPS was unexpectedly easy, pushing the limits, we might find that we can even outperform VISA.”

Kaspa’s achievement is a significant step towards realizing Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision for an efficient, secure, and widely adopted cryptocurrency. With blockDAG technology demonstrating its potential to manage high transaction volumes, Kaspa is not just pushing the boundaries of current capabilities but also paving the way for future innovations. This transformative moment marks a new era in the world of digital currencies, offering broader adoption and unprecedented application opportunities.
