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.

Shop Strange Pioneers Apparel Decorating Industry with Direct-to-Film Printing, a Leading-Edge Print Technology
This versatile printing method yields higher level of durability, detail, and more vibrant colors versus other methods

JULY 24, 2024 - Shop Strange is pioneering the apparel printing industry by offering leading-edge direct-to-film (DTF) printing, an advanced apparel printing process that yields numerous advantages including a durability, vibrant colors, and a higher level of detail than other methods.

Shop Strange made its debut in 2012 and has become a go-to business for custom printing needs including apparel and promotional items. Schools, event organizers, organizations, and business owners all turn to Shop Strange for its trusted custom printing solutions. From concept to design to production, Shop Strange offers end-to-end assistance and services including screen printing, embroidery, promotional items, displays, and graphic design. The Shop Strange online designer lets virtually anyone create their design online, but prospective clients can also visit the two Shop Strange locations for one-on-one assistance.

Shop Strange has invested in direct-to-film technology and now boasts equipment in their production facility featuring laser guided alignment with air compressors, foot pedals, and interchangeable plates to allow for full customization in decorating a variety of items and formats with full color art. Direct-to-film is a highly sought after digital printing technology used mainly in the textile industry. The process entails printing designs onto a special film and then transferring the film onto fabric with a heat press.

Direct-to-film is sought after because of its exceptional quality. It is a versatile method that can be used for textiles including cotton, polyester, blends, and more. The prints are very durable and resilient, meaning they can endure multiple washes without fading or cracking. The direct-to-film process also yields an amazing level of detail and vibrant color as opposed to other methods. This method is being used more and more for customizing t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and other fabric items in small- and medium-sized production batches.

Shop Strange begins their direct-to-film process with creating artwork using special graphic design software. Then, the design is printed onto the film using the direct-to-film

equipment geared with water-based pigment inks. Adhesive powder is applied before the ink dries, and then either a heat press or oven is used for curing. Next, the cured film is transferred onto the fabric, and heat is applied to set the film. Once the film has been pressed, it is then peeled off, leaving behind the design.

“We are thrilled to offer our clients industry-leading printing methods such as direct-to- film printing,” said the team at Shop Strange. Clients can now contact either of Shop Strange’s two locations in Boise and Portland to request direct-to-film printing for all their custom needs.
