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.

Deep Space Network Continues to Explore the Universe

By: MerxWire

NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) is one of the critical infrastructures supporting humanity’s exploration of deep space. It enables communication with spacecraft located hundreds of millions of kilometres away and aids in our understanding of the solar system and the broader universe beyond.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Merxwire) – NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) is a global communication system used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support deep space exploration missions. This system ensures uninterrupted 24-hour communication between spacecraft and Earth, with three major stations located in California (USA), Madrid (Spain), and Canberra (Australia). The DSN supports interplanetary missions and assists scientists in studying the solar system and the broader universe through radar and radio astronomy observations.

NASA’s DSN comprises a series of giant radio antennas distributed across the Earth’s surface at approximately 120-degree intervals to ensure that at least one station can send and receive signals as the Earth rotates. Specifically, the three stations are Goldstone in California (USA), Canberra in Australia, and Madrid in Spain. Each station is situated in a relatively isolated, elevated area to reduce radio interference and ensure clear signal transmission.

The primary responsibility of the DSN is to maintain two-way communication with space probes. Ground control centres can send commands to the probes via the DSN, monitor their status, and receive images and scientific data from the depths of space. These antennas are also responsible for tracking the location and velocity of spacecraft, ensuring the mission’s safety and precision. For example, during complex mission operations, the DSN sends precise commands to assist spacecraft in adjusting their orientation, changing orbits, or performing other manoeuvres. In addition, the DSN can conduct scientific experiments by measuring changes in radio signals, such as studying Saturn’s rings, analyzing planetary interiors, or testing general relativity.

To further optimize the efficiency of its global communication network, NASA introduced the “Follow the Sun” operational strategy. This strategy reduces operators’ workload and improves the network’s reliability by allowing each station to manage global communications during daytime hours. For instance, when the Canberra station in Australia enters daylight, it takes over global communication tasks. When Canberra enters nighttime, the Madrid station in Spain or the California station in the USA continues the mission. Since implementing this strategy in 2017, the DSN’s data transmission performance has significantly improved, contributing to several critical missions such as TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), the InSight Mars lander, and the Parker Solar Probe.

The Deep Space Network currently supports over 40 deep space missions, and many more missions are expected to join. NASA relies on this critical network to advance scientific exploration within the solar system, covering planets, moons, asteroids, and more. With the support of the DSN, space probes can transmit large amounts of valuable scientific data back to Earth, helping scientists better understand the origin, evolution, and characteristics of the solar system and other celestial bodies. As future deep space missions unfold, the Deep Space Network will remain an indispensable link in our universe exploration, playing an irreplaceable role in this endeavour.
