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.

Sandbox VR Inks Franchise Partnership With LOL Entertainment to Bring Virtual Reality to Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington DC

Sandbox VR, the world's premier destination for premium location-based virtual reality experiences, is announcing a franchise deal with LOL Entertainment, which specializes in bringing location-based entertainment to life. The partnership will bring four new Sandbox VR locations to vibrant East Coast cities: Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington DC.

Sandbox VR will join LOL Entertainment’s roster of location-based entertainment investments including Museum of Illusions and Cluville Kids Escape Room, expanding their portfolio of immersive experiences.

Franchising has been instrumental in making Sandbox VR the fastest growing location-based VR startup globally. The LOL Entertainment partnership comes on the heels of Sandbox VR’s recent announcement that the company saw 60% growth in franchise deals in Q2 and plans to open 280 new franchise locations in the next four years.

“When it comes to expansion, I know how critical it is to work with the right partners,” said Steve Zhao, CEO and Founder of Sandbox VR. “We have seen a lot of customer demand on the East Coast and are excited to collaborate with LOL Entertainment to grow our presence in the region to meet that demand. As established leaders in location-based entertainment, their commitment to creating unforgettable experiences will ensure visitors never forget their journey through a whole new reality.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Sandbox VR to bring their cutting-edge, immersive VR experience to more people along the East Coast,” said Rob Cooper, CEO and Founder of LOL Entertainment. “We are always looking for innovative ways to expand the boundaries of immersive entertainment and this partnership with Sandbox VR is a perfect fit. These new locations will allow even more guests to step into a world of thrilling, interactive adventures, and we look forward to launching these one-of-a-kind experiences early next year.”

Sandbox VR is creating the future of entertainment by building the world’s most immersive experiences using bleeding-edge virtual reality technology. Their patented motion-tracking system, which captures the movements of a player’s entire body, combines with high-quality haptics to provide players with unprecedented realism and complete immersion that’s not possible with home VR or other location-based VR platforms. Guests’ own bodies act as their game controllers; all they have to do is step into the virtual world and engage in the action unfolding all around them.

All Sandbox VR experiences are developed by in-house AAA gaming studios in Hong Kong and Vancouver, led by game industry veterans. The unparalleled experiences are uniquely designed for groups to play as social experiences, further setting Sandbox VR apart. Teams of up to six friends freely roam and explore virtual worlds together, while relying on each other to succeed.

Just this month, Sandbox VR launched their ninth immersive virtual reality experience, Deadwood PHOBIA, the third title in their Deadwood zombie franchise. Deadwood PHOBIA is a sequel to Sandbox VR’s most popular experience, Deadwood Valley. Since its release in the summer of 2022, Deadwood Valley has sold over 1 million tickets— generating over $52M in ticket sales—establishing the adrenaline-pumping zombie thrill-ride as one of the best-selling VR titles of all time.

Sandbox VR is operating in over 50 global locations and expanding rapidly. Its global locations welcome over 100k players monthly to experience immersive virtual reality experiences you can’t find anywhere else. In 2023, the company topped 1.2M tickets sold and has seen a 33% year-over-year increase in 2024 ticket sales.
