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.

GlobalFoundries and Egis Partner to Develop Next-Generation Smart Sensing Technology for Mobile and IoT Applications

MALTA, N.Y., Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today at its annual Technology Summit in Shanghai, China, GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS)(GF) announced its collaboration with Egis Technology to deliver a new direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensors on GF’s 55nm platform. This new solution supports smart sensing technologies for new and emerging applications in smart mobile, IoT and automotive end markets.

GF’s first-generation FSI (front-side illuminated) SPAD (single-photon avalanche diode) device features best-in-class Dark Count Rate and Near-Infrared Photon Detection Probability for high-SNR dToF sensing. The SPAD device, available as a p-cell, is integrated on GF’s feature-rich 55nm platform which delivers a fully integrated dToF SoC, including high-voltage bias, VCSEL driver, MCU and ranging core, on single, smaller chip. When combined with the broad IP portfolio for GF’s 55nm platform, designers can develop next-generation, application-optimized intelligent sensors with best-in-class size, weight, power and cost advantages at a faster time to market.

Egis, a leading display fingerprint sensor provider, first partnered with GF in 2022 as a strategic move to enter the emerging 3D sensor market. Applications of the new FSI SPAD technology include laser-assisted auto focus for smart mobile devices, laptops and projectors, presence detection for smart appliances and buildings to enable power saving features and collision avoidance in robots and drones.

“GF is committed to enabling the future of smart sensing technologies with solutions like our FSI SPAD device that delivers significant performance and design advantages for next-generation, intelligent sensors,” said Kamal Khouri, senior vice president of GF’s feature-rich CMOS product line. “Through our partnership with Egis, we are excited to bring these advanced direct time-of-flight sensors to the growing marketplace of devices that rely on precise data capture in our increasingly automated world.”

“Egis is proud to partner with GlobalFoundries to develop novel sensor solutions tailored for essential applications,” said Steve Lo, Chairman at Egis. “By leveraging GF’s advanced FSI SPAD technology, we continue our commitment to innovating and simplifying intuitive user experiences.”

55nm SPAD is available for mass production at GF’s high-volume manufacturing facility in Singapore. A process design kit and dedicated shuttle runs through GF’s GlobalShuttle multi-project wafer (MPW) program are available for designers to start prototyping.
