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.

Best Youth Batting Tee for 2025: Attackletics Launches The Attack Tee

Best Youth Batting Tee for 2025: Attackletics Launches The Attack Tee
New smart batting tee is the first in baseball and softball to feature unlimited bat path angle adjustments, automated tee placement and contact points help, 17.2-lb never-tip-over base, largest tee height adjustability on the market, and free iOS app with MLB data-backed swing guidance

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Attackletics announced the world's first "smart" batting tee for baseball and softball, called the Attack Tee, designed to fix three problems that stall young hitters' development: ineffective swing paths, equipment that breaks and tips constantly, and guesswork-heavy training sessions.

Released for fall ball training and the holiday season, the Attack Tee pairs a heavy, never-tip base with unlimited bat-path angle adjustments and a free iOS app prescribing exact tee placement and optimal swing paths for all nine strike-zone locations hitters face.

Four Key Innovations

• Unlimited angle adjustment — The Attack Tee's head tilts in dozens of precise increments, enabling hitters to match correct bat paths for any pitch location instead of training a one-size-fits-nobody swing.

• 17.2-lb never-tip base — An iron platform that doesn't move during aggressive swings, tested with players ages 8-18. No wobble, no resetting, more quality reps per minute.

• 19-49" height range — The largest in the game, growing with players from age 6 through high school, college and beyond.

• iOS app guidance — Choose righty/lefty, tap a pitch location, and the app shows exact tee placement relative to home plate and MLB-informed ideal bat path angles based on a decade of Statcast data.

Smart Accountability Features

The app tracks training session times, features a national leaderboard, and offers an optional AI coach for $9.99/month delivering 24/7 mental performance and hitting approach guidance including visualizations, routines and confidence-building plans. All other app features remain 100% free.

The Hidden Cost of Inadequate Equipment

Most parents start with bargain tees, then rebuy repeatedly when plastic stems crack, rubber ball holders split, or lightweight bases tip over. Including replacement tops, shipping, and weight plates or sandbags needed to stabilize flimsy models, families quietly spend $400-500 over several seasons.

The bigger issue: lost skill development. When tees tip constantly, players lose approximately 10 minutes per practice hour. Over a serious young ballplayer's average career — 10 minutes per practice × 3 practices weekly × 30 weeks yearly × 6 years — that's 900 hours of lost development time.

Poor equipment also leads to bad swing patterns requiring expensive, professional correction. Over six full travel ball seasons, hitting lessons alone at average rates of $40-100 per weekly lesson for 30 weeks annually range from $7,200 to $18,000.

The Attack Tee's guided contact points and angled swing planes organically force hitters to adjust their bodies into proper swing positions without requiring any biomechanics expertise.

Founder Perspective

"Great hitters aren't guessing," said Mark Brooks, co-founder and former college/pro player. "With guided bat paths and exact tee placements, kids learn to get on-plane early, stay there longer, and do damage in any part of the zone."

Mike Rogers, 18-year batting facility owner and co-founder, added: "I've bought every tee on the market. Every year, I fill and dump a giant box of broken tees out back — my staff calls it the 'tee graveyard.' We engineered a tee that doesn't tip, doesn't quit, and actually teaches the right swing."

Availability

The Attack Tee back in stock and available now for fall training and holiday gifting here.
