About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Coherent Introduces 266 nm HyperRapid NXT Picosecond Laser for Ultraprecise Machining of OLED Displays

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (Nasdaq: COHR), a leader in industrial lasers for materials processing, today announced that it introduced its new HyperRapid NXT industrial picosecond laser, with 10 W of average output power in the deep-ultraviolet (DUV), that enables ultraprecise edge ablation around OLED displays.

The new HyperRapid NXT from Coherent is the industry’s first laser-based solution capable of ablating a microscopic channel around OLED displays while leaving adjacent areas intact. This process maximizes the active area of the display and enables the trend toward bezel-free consumer devices.

“What is so unique about the new HyperRapid NXT is the very special proprietary crystals that we grow and coat in-house. They enable the laser to operate in the deep-ultraviolet for very long periods of time in nonstop high-volume manufacturing environments,” said Dr. Christopher Dorman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Solid-State Lasers Business Unit, Europe. “A laser-based process capable of making such fine cuts is not only new, it’s also much simpler, cleaner, and lower-cost than alternatives based on mechanical or chemical processes. In fact, we estimate that our new laser could improve the profitability of a consumer product by as much as hundreds of millions of dollars over its lifecycle, easily justifying the investment.”

The new laser includes all the standard functionality of the HyperRapid NXT platform, including stable DUV power modulation, pulse on demand, and variable repetition rate. Thanks to its very short DUV wavelength of 266 nm, the laser can achieve a tightly focused beam to process features well below 10 µm.

Coherent offers a broad portfolio of lasers for state-of-the-art OLED display manufacturing, including backplane laser annealing, cutting and drilling notches and holes for sensors, and detaching flexible or foldable displays from their rigid carriers.

Coherent will showcase its differentiated laser solutions for display processing at Photonics West in San Francisco Jan. 28 to Feb. 2.
