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 and MX Fiber extend Gigabit access across Southeast Mexico with ultra-high-scale optical network

Press Release
Nokia and MX Fiber extend Gigabit access across Southeast Mexico with ultra-high-scale optical network

  • With seven new DWDM routes, MX Fiber will power major infrastructure projects like the Interoceanic Corridor and Maya Train, fueling economic growth across Southeastern Mexico.
  • Nokia 1830 PSS optical backbone solution supports 10G/100G/200G/400G services and massive line capacity growth up to 2.4. Tb/s to support MX Fiber footprint expansion.

11 Aug 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the deployment of a new high-speed optical transport backbone network for MX Fiber, delivering reliable, high-capacity connectivity across Southeast Mexico, one of the country’s most populous yet underserved regions.

This future-proof network lays the digital foundation to support economic revitalization and modern services for communities, businesses, and government projects. Customers across Chiapas, Tabasco, and Quintana Roo, and soon Campeche and Veracruz, will benefit from faster internet, enhanced cloud access, and support for data-intensive applications in areas that have long lacked sufficient infrastructure.

MX Fiber’s 1,800 km expansion, powered by Nokia’s Flex-Grid DWDM technology and 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), delivers scalable 10G, 100G, and 200G services. This capacity enables customers to connect to modern data centers, industrial parks, and subsea transport hubs, critical for commerce, mobility, and digital inclusion.

The Nokia 1830 PSS solution ensures efficient and cost-effective service delivery with seamless upgrades to 400G and 800G without disrupting existing services. Built-in dynamic network management and real-time performance monitoring via Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) give MX Fiber customers the peace of mind that their connectivity is robust, responsive, and ready for future demands.

“We are very happy to work with Nokia to deploy a proven, optical solution that delivers massive capacity and high-quality services at a lower operational cost. This solution is crucial to supporting our customers and to the success of mega-projects such as the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and Maya Train which are designed to spur economic development in the region. We look forward to continuing to grow and evolve with Nokia,” said Nestor Bergero, CEO, MX Fiber. 

“This is a major step forward for digital inclusion and economic empowerment in Southeastern Mexico. We’re honored to support MX Fiber with world-class optical technology that delivers scale, reliability, and future-ready performance,” said Javier Falcón, Director of Network Infrastructure for Latin America, Nokia.
