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.

Artel Launches Innovative SDI-Host SFP Module: an SDI-to-IP/Ethernet Gateway using SMPTE ST2110 or ST2022-6

Patton... Let's Connect!

HUDSON, Mass. and GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artel Video—a brand of Patton and maker of Media Transport Products—announces the launch of the FL-ST2110-SFP, a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module designed for SDI media conversion and/or transport to IP using ST2110 or ST2022-6.

Direct Plug-in. Artel's new FiberLink SDI Video-to-ST2110/ST2022-6 Gateway SFP Module plugs directly into SDI-Host SFP slots. 

IP Encapsulation. The module directly encapsulates and de-encapsulates SDI to Ethernet/SMPTE ST2110 for IP integration and media transport.

Compact Design. The FL-ST2110-SFP features a compact design that allows seamless integration into existing infrastructures, facilitating the transition to IP-based workflows.

Key features of the FL-ST2110-SFP include:

  • SFP plugs directly into SDI SFP Hosts for flexible deployment.
  • Compliance with SMPTE ST 2110 and ST2022-6 standards for professional media over managed IP networks.
  • Support for uncompressed video, audio, and ancillary data.
    Ultra-low latency for real-time applications.
  • “Clean Switch” feature facilitates switching between video sources without artifacts.
  • A “Frame Synch” feature enables PTP frame synchronization at the source or at the point of encapsulation.
  • High reliability and performance for mission-critical environments.


First Move. 
“The FL-ST2110-SFP is Patton’s ‘first-move’ since acquiring Artel and it represents a step towards Patton’s vision of an All-IP Media Broadcast network,” said Paul Seiden, Patton’s Sales Director for Media Transport Products. 

“Patton seeks to help broadcasters modernize their infrastructure without compromising performance,” said Burton Patton, Patton Chief Revenue Officer. “This little SFP is one such help. There is much more to come.”

The FL-ST2110-SFP is now available through Patton's global network of distributors and resellers.
