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.

Hitron’s Elias Chavarria Reyes co-authors paper on DOCSIS Time Protocol (DTP)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States - 09-19-2022 (PR Distribution™) -

Technical paper, “DOCSIS Time Protocol Proof of Concept Phase II Results,” co-authored by CableLabs, Charter Communications, and Hitron Technologies; to be presented at 
SCTE Cable-Tec Expo on September 20 

Philadelphia, PA (SCTE® Cable-Tec® Expo 2022 September 19, 2022 - Hitron Technologies announced the publication and presentation of the technical paper “DOCSIS® Time Protocol Proof of Concept Phase II Results,” co-authored by CableLabs®, Charter Communications, and Hitron Technologies. 

The paper presents proof of concept (PoC) testing results that show DTP can successfully deliver accurate timing information for 5G and mobile services, thus enabling multi-service operators (MSOsto offer 5G services using their HFC infrastructure as backhaul. 

The paper will be presented September 20 at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2022 during the session, “Intersection of Time and Space.” The paper’s co-authors are: Ruoyu (Roy) Sun, Aaron Quinto and Mark Poletti, CableLabs; Charles Cook, Vikas Sarawat, Praveen Srivastava, and Lei Zhou, Charter Communications; and Elias Chavarria Reyes, Hitron Technologies. 

DOCSIS Timing Protocol (DTP), first introduced in CableLabs’ DOCSIS 3.1 MULTI specification enables the passing of network timing over DOCSIS 3.1 networks. As such, it can provide the timing precision needed for MSOs to use their HFC infrastructure as the backhaul for high performing, cost-effective 5G services. The team’s PoC testing proved that DTP meets the ETSI 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)requirement of 1.5 µs of timing accuracy for 5G services.

The PoC testing was split into two phases. Phase I tests were conducted in a basic lab environment, and the results were published in an SCTE 2021 paper and CableLabs Technical Report. This second phase evaluated DTP performance in a complex field environment similar to a field deployment. 

“Network timing is one of the biggest hurdles for using DOCSIS networks to provide backhaul for mobile services. It’s not cost-effective to use expensive GPS receivers in small-cell 5G deployments. Further, a GPS signal is unreliable in the indoor environment of the customer’s home. It’s very exciting to see DTP pass this stage of testing and meet 3GPP’s timing requirements,” said co-author, Elias Chavarria Reyes, Ph.D., Hitron Technologies.
