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.

The ES1500 offers several advantages for enterprise access, including:

  • Performance through 8/24/48-ports at 2.5GbE with optional processor upgrades
  • Cost effectiveness with scalable access in a 1U form factor
  • Reliability and security for the enterprise with redundant features
  • Scalability and flexibility with 90W PoE++ for connected devices
  • Supporting extended temperature range with a fanless, 8-port design ideal for IoT/OT use cases

“Getting everyone and everything connected on an enterprise campus is more complex than ever. With a growing number of IoT devices and cloud apps, requiring AI-intensive workloads at the AI-edge, networks need to be ready for anything,” says Gavin Cato, Head of Portfolio Solutions and CTO, Connectivity and Cloud Solutions, Celestica. “The ES1500, along with our existing campus switch products, offers a compelling solution for modern campus access that supports the growing demands for increased connectivity at the enterprise edge without compromise.”
