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 Opens First Virginia Beach Location on August 1

The ‘best virtual reality experience on the planet’ joins the entertainment lineup in Atlantic Park.

Sandbox VR, a full-body virtual reality entertainment experience, is pleased to announce the grand opening of its first Virginia Beach location on Friday, August 1 in the entertainment and events district, Atlantic Park. With over 117k players monthly, Sandbox VR is rapidly growing its global footprint with thriving corporate-owned locations and a robust franchising program.

Sandbox VR’s socially immersive gaming experience combines full-body motion capture and high-quality haptics to provide unprecedented realism and complete immersion that’s not possible with home VR systems or other location-based VR venues, taking group virtual reality gameplay and active socializing to the next level.

"We're thrilled to bring Sandbox VR's cutting-edge entertainment experiences to Virginia Beach and Atlantic Park—a destination that perfectly embodies innovation and community. Atlantic Park's unique blend of year-round attractions, from its world-class surf park to reimagined entertainment venues, creates an ideal environment for our immersive VR experiences,” said Sandbox VR CEO and Founder, Steve Zhao. “Virginia Beach draws millions of visitors annually while maintaining a vibrant local community, and we're excited to offer both residents and tourists a completely new way to connect, compete, and create unforgettable memories together. Atlantic Park represents the future of entertainment districts, and Sandbox VR is proud to be part of that vision."

“Sandbox VR Virginia Beach is the perfect addition to the incredible energy of the new Vibe District at Atlantic Park. This community is full of creativity and momentum, and we can’t wait to share the magic of immersive virtual reality with the people who make this area so special,” said Scott Boren, Franchise Owner, Sandbox VR Virginia Beach.

Sandbox VR’s location in Virginia Beach is an entertainment space featuring four private rooms for virtual reality gameplay. Each room enables groups of up to six players to have a truly shared experience, exploring virtual worlds and relying on each other to succeed in games designed to be social experiences. Together with friends, family, or co-workers, players are equipped with a haptic vest, motion sensors on their wrists and ankles, and cutting edge VIVE Focus 3 headsets. The combination provides players outstanding visuals with a smarter ergonomic design, superior audio, and next level inside-out tracking and controllers. This technology allows players to see and physically interact with one another while feeling like they are in the middle of an action movie, with the heightened emotions that come from not just watching a film, but from actually becoming the stars of the action.
