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.

Legendary Sniper s1mple Joins BC.GAME: Can the “Sponsor” Become a “Powerhouse”?

CS fans no longer need to guess where s1mple is going. He has just announced his departure from NaVi, where he served for nearly nine years, choosing to join BC.GAME Esports to continue competing in the league, with a transfer fee reaching $5 million. HLTV commented, “This marks a turning point in s1mple’s career and reflects BC.GAME’s ambitions on the CS2 professional stage.”

Who is BC.GAME Esports and Why Did They Sign Legendary Sniper s1mple?

From “Airborne Troops” to “Sponsor Team”

BC.GAME Esports is not entirely new—having participated in multiple events and reached the top 14 in the CCT Season 2 EU series. However, in the esports circle, only the first-place winner is remembered; this is the harsh reality of professional esports.

The toughest ticket in esports is always based on three key elements: money, people, and winning. These three aspects complement each other, with “people” being the most critical part.

Signing s1mple means BC.GAME has the “people” and is starting to invest real money. s1mple has been named HLTV’s Player of the Year three times (2018, 2021, 2022), a unique achievement in history. He has won 21 HLTV MVP awards throughout his career, setting a record in CSGO. Such credentials undoubtedly add significant excitement to upcoming matches.

Currently, s1mple has yet to play, but this “sponsor buff” has already prompted some clubs to develop countermeasures.

Spanning Three Major Sectors: Gaming, Esports, and Crypto Ecosystem

BC.GAME is a Web3 entertainment platform that integrates crypto payments with on-chain gaming experiences, with core businesses covering crypto gaming, esports team operations, and blockchain ecosystem collaborations.

Their gaming platform offers over 8,000 games, supporting both cryptocurrencies and fiat payments. In the blockchain ecosystem, they have participated in investments in well-known NFTs like BAYC and CryptoPUNK. Their native token, “BC,” is used for game payments, reward exchanges, and platform activities.

s1mple joins the BC.GAME ESPORTS team, which has previously won the Euproleague Season 17 championship and is set to compete in the top-tier IEM Dallas event in 2025.

Moreover, BC.GAME has crossed into sports and entertainment multiple times: with endorsements from boxing champion Colby Covington, collaborations with Lil Pump, and sponsorship of South American teams. Now, with s1mple on board, BC.GAME ESPORTS aims to turn the “crypto gaming tycoon” into a real esports powerhouse.

Is This an Esports Powerhouse or Just a Fad?

The $5 million signing fee has caught many eyes. Some question how long such a “tycoon” approach can sustain itself. Industry insiders suggest that BC.GAME’s investment in esports is not a fleeting whim but part of a broader global brand strategy.

Though s1mple has yet to take the stage, BC.GAME has already become a market focal point. It will be exciting to see if this GOAT can lead the team to the top and whether BC.GAME can truly transition from a “sponsor” to a “powerhouse.”
