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.

MACOM IMS 2025 Product Preview – Satellite Communications

LOWELL, Mass., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, announced today new additions to its RF and optical portfolio, designed to meet the evolving needs of the SATCOM industry. These products include a high bandwidth Th-Mod optical transmitter, VPX RF over Fiber (RFoF) modules and high power amplifiers for Ka-, Ku-, X- and C-Band applications. Many of these solutions will be demonstrated in MACOM’s Booth 943 at the upcoming International Microwave Symposium (IMS) on June 17 to 19, 2025 in San Francisco, CA.

RF Amplifiers:
 C-Band and X-Band
MACOM announces new C-Band and X-Band Power Amplifiers (PAs), targeting both commercial SATCOM and defense applications. Utilizing MACOM’s high performance, GaN-on-SiC production process, the C-Band PAs operate from 5.85 – 6.75 GHz and can achieve high linear power and efficiency with two power levels, 60 W (MAPC-A4019) and 130 W (MAPC-A4017). The X-Band PAs operate from 7.7 – 8.5 GHz and are capable of output power levels of 60 W (MAPC-A4020) and 130 W (MAPC-A4021). The amplifiers are offered in flange packages.
  
 Ku-Band
MACOM’s CMPA1E1F060 Ku-Band GaN-on-SiC SATCOM MMIC on a copper molybdenum (Cu-Mo) tab (or die on tab) offers high output power and efficiency. It is capable of 60 W continuous wave saturated output power and a power added efficiency (PAE) of 35%. The CMPA1E1F060 supports 25 W of linear output power at IM3 of -25 dBc. It is available as bare die, die on tab or flange packages.
  
 Ka-Band
MACOM’s CMPA2H3B025D GaN High Power PA is a new 25 W Ka-Band MMIC PA, targeting both commercial SATCOM and defense applications. Utilizing MACOM’s high performance, 0.15 µm GaN-on-SiC production process, this amplifier operates from 27 – 31 GHz and achieves high linear power and efficiency reaching up to 25 W of typical saturated output power, 21 dB of large signal gain, and over 25% PAE. When targeting an IM3 level of -25 dBc or better, the CMPA2H3B025D can achieve as much as 10 W of output power with 26 dB of gain and 20% PAE. The amplifier is offered in die, tab and flange packages.
  
RFoF Modules:
 Th-MOD Optical Transmitter
MACOM’s Th-Mod MATT-60M1 transmitter and receiver modules offer up to 70 GHz bandwidth, making them ideal for antenna remoting and other RFoF applications. The modules provide a complete solution for transporting wide bandwidth signals over optical fiber, with a compact form factor that can be tailored to customer requirements. The Th-Mod modules provide a low noise, high linearity link with unrivaled performance and dynamic range.
  
 VPX RFoF Modules
MACOM’s new Open VPX RFoF solution is designed for 3U conductively cooled VPX and SOSA applications. The MAVT-50C1 modules provide up to 50 GHz of bandwidth over single mode fiber, making them suitable for antenna remoting, antenna distribution and other RFoF applications. They are available as custom transmitters, receivers or transceivers.
