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.

LiquidStack Launches CDU-1MW: The First in a New Family of Universally Compatible Coolant Distribution Units for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling

CARROLLTON, Texas, Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiquidStack, a global leader in liquid cooling for data centers, today announced the availability of its CDU-1MW, a high-performance Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) designed to be universally compatible with commercial direct-to-chip (DTC) solutions. LiquidStack’s CDU-1MW system is now available for immediate shipment worldwide.

Built for advanced computing applications such as generative AI, large language models and HPC, LiquidStack's new CDU offer addresses a critical market need by helping alleviate CDU supply constraints in the direct-to-chip liquid cooling segment. As data center adoption of liquid cooling scales, the demand for standardized, DTC-optimized CDUs has accelerated significantly. However, the availability of CDUs has been limited due to production capacity constraints, according to analyst firm Omdia.

"With a singular focus on liquid cooling, we deliver unparalleled expertise and innovation, providing the most advanced solutions, such as the CDU-1MW, for data centers and high-performance computing environments,” said Joe Capes, CEO, LiquidStack. “Our company has been designing, manufacturing and servicing complex liquid to liquid heat exchange systems at scale for over a decade. With the ability to deliver products anywhere in the world from our US-based manufacturing facility, and our capability to provide mission-critical service response times in all major global markets, LiquidStack has quickly taken a leadership position in the direct-to-chip liquid cooling market.”

LiquidStack’s innovative liquid cooling solutions are designed to effectively cool high-performance workloads while decreasing energy consumption. The universal CDU-1MW is ETL, CSA, and CE certified, as well as full-load tested by a third party. It caters to hyperscalers, colocation services companies, and large-scale enterprises seeking to implement DTC solutions as they shift to hybrid cooling. The product’s superior thermal management, enhanced performance and interoperability ensure seamless integration, energy efficiency and reduced operational costs. Key features include:

  • High-Performance Cooling: Offers 1,350kW cooling capacity with cutting-edge coolant distribution methods to maximize efficiency.
  • Robust Design: Supports the latest AI chips and servers; engineered for durability and long-term reliability in high-performance environments.
  • Universal Compatibility and Flexible Integration: Ensures interoperability with multiple CDU vendors via non-proprietary design; compatible with a wide range of direct-to-chip systems and configurations.
  • Energy Optimization: Minimizes energy usage while maintaining optimal cooling performance.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Provides programmable logic controller (PLC) with intuitive controls and monitoring tools for easy management and oversight.
  • N+1 Redundancy: Offers hot swappable dual VSD pump operation, top and bottom stainless steel piping kits, with optional temperature, pressure, flow meter, and expansion tank redundancy.
  • Industry-Leading Technology: Developed via direct engagement with the world’s largest data centers and chip manufacturers; manufactured in the U.S.

"Our exclusive commitment to liquid cooling ensures that LiquidStack products incorporate the latest advancements and best practices in cooling technology,” said Nick Schweissguth, Global Director of Product Management, LiquidStack. “The CDU-1MW is built to withstand the rigors of the highest performance environments, enabling large-scale data center operators to de-risk AI deployments via rapid integration to existing direct-to-chip systems.”

Manufactured at LiquidStack’s U.S.-based facility in Carrollton, Texas, the CDU-1MW is an extension of the company’s extensive portfolio, with additional CDU solutions slated for release in 2025. LiquidStack’s full portfolio of liquid cooling products also includes single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling solutions and its MacroModular™ and MicroModular™ prefabricated data centers.
