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.

Nokia selected by Service Electric Cablevision to build 25G PON-based Fiber-To-The-Home network

Press release
Nokia selected by Service Electric Cablevision to build 25G PON-based Fiber-To-The-Home network

  • Leading cable operator is using Nokia’s 25G PON fiber solution to deliver highly efficient, reliable next generation services.
  • Service Electric Cablevision is building an all-fiber network designed to pass 200,000 homes with ultrafast internet service.
  • The world’s first cable system in 1948, now Service Electric Cablevision makes history again with Pennsylvania’s first 25G PON fiber-to-the-home network.

11 March 2024
Denver, Colorado – Nokia announced today that Service Electric Cablevision (SECV), a leading cable operator in eastern Pennsylvania, is using Nokia’s industry-leading fiber broadband equipment to support a multi-gigabit broadband service for both existing and new subscribers. With the Nokia 25GS-PON-based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network, SECV can provide a true 10Gb/s symmetrical broadband service to households and businesses today, and scale upwards as customer needs grow. Renowned for pioneering the world's first cable system in 1948, Service Electric Cablevision continues its legacy of customer and community commitment by introducing this ultrafast broadband access network.

Service Electric Cablevision will deploy Nokia’s MF-14 and MF-2 chassis-based Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) into its network which is expected to pass over 200,00 homes across Pennsylvania. The fiber technology from Nokia will allow SECV to offer XGS-PON (10Gb/s) and 25G PON capabilities today, and seamlessly evolve to 50G and 100G PON technologies in the future. Additionally, SECV is utilizing Nokia’s SF-8M, the world's first 25G PON capable node-based OLT, ensuring highly reliable, high-speed broadband service even in challenging outdoor environments.    

Mark Walter, Vice President of Service Electric Cablevision, said: “Nokia’s fiber technology is the foundation of our network and allows us to provide some of the fastest broadband services available today. With 25G PON, we’ll be able to deliver true 10G broadband service to customers and further establish ourselves as the premier choice in eastern Pennsylvania.”

Bassam El-Zakhem, Vice President of Fixed Networks at Nokia, said: “Cable operators are increasingly adopting PON alongside and as a replacement for their DOCSIS®-based broadband networks to offer higher tier services across different market segments. SECV’s lightning-fast fiber broadband service sets a new standard for cable broadband.”

Jamie Lenderman, Research Manager & Principal Analyst at Omdia, said: "PON technology is gaining traction among cable operators, with XGS-PON and 25G-PON serving as complements to ongoing DOCSIS upgrades. PON provides higher performance, great reliability, and a much easier upgrade path than DOCSIS-based networks."

According to Omdia, Nokia has ranked first in the global XGS-PON OLT market since 3Q 2021 and in North America since 2018.
