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.

Team Building Adventures in Los Angeles

Taking the team out for a party on the town may be fun for everyone, but it doesn’t build up teams and create bonding as certain adventures would. Unfortunately, team building gets a bad rap for being boring or a waste of time, so you have to find something fun and exciting to change it up.

If you want to do something memorable while also having your team grow together, check out some of these team building exercises below. These are unique things that tend to be enjoyable for most people, and also promote working together and learning more about each other.

Modern team building for the modern times is available right here in Los Angeles.

Blue Pacific Yachting

Do you and your team want to look out on the ocean waves and enjoy some time on the water? Look at the Blue Pacific Yachting company. If you have experience with yachting, you can rent a boat and go out on your own, or you can request a charter to take you and your team through the waves.

Enjoy the sun and smell the ocean breeze for a couple of hours or a few days depending on what you are looking for.

If you want, you can even take classes so you and your team can learn how to yacht together.

Fox in a Box

Escape rooms are another great choice. Fox in a Box in Los Angeles is an escape room that is perfect for the whole team. There are 23 different locations, and they have been open for nine years.

There are nine different rooms as well, consisting of different difficulty levels and different group sizes. Fight against the Zodiac Killer, or work to escape from zombies in a lab. You can even help a long-lost traveler come back to life.

Most of the rooms last an hour, so they don’t take up a lot of time. You can even do multiple rooms in a day if you want. Start off easy and increase in difficulty. Or, if you and your whole team have experience, do all the hard ones and see which one you can complete the fastest.

If no one feels comfortable going out, there is a mobile version you can all plan together. Go and rent a space and play a bunch of games including an escape room.

Fantastic Race

Want a mix of a sightseeing tour and an interactive mystery novel? The Fantastic Race is something unique for everyone to try. The race is all-inclusive. Get the clues, enter special venues, and get food and drinks during your trip. There are even prizes for those that win first place.

No matter what time of the year it is, you can try out one of these races. There are two options for races in Los Angeles and one option in Santa Monica. They take about three to four hours to complete.

Some examples of what you may be able to do during your race include visiting big destinations like the Chinese Theater or Disney Concert Hall, viewing hidden gems in the heart of the city, and visiting more than just the basic tourist spots.

Teams will start in one location and then get a series of clues to keep them going. Each location will offer new clues. Sometimes the clues are hard, and sometimes they are easy. Other times, you may struggle just to find the clue in the first place.

If you and your team get lost, don’t worry, you can call mission control and get clues or directions to your next destination. However, these calls come at a cost, so you should only do so when absolutely necessary.

Stratus Bubble Soccer

Bubble Soccer is your basic soccer, but with a twist. Everyone is dressed up in a giant inflatable bubble. It’s a team sport, and your whole team can be on one team, or broken up into two to compete against each other.

It also has hints of football, as tackling is perfectly acceptable. Slam into each other while wrapped up in full bubble suits and hope you can stand back up after.

There are options for kid and adult-sized bubble balls, so you can even get your teams and their families involved in the fun. There isn’t much chance of injury or even bruising thanks to the giant inflatable bubble balls.

You have to pick a location to play, but the bubbles will come to you, so play wherever you and your team are most comfortable in the Los Angeles area.

Rage Ground

If your line of work is stressful for your team, consider something like Rage Ground. Customer service work can make you feel proud when you get to help others, but these jobs can also be frustrating when you have to deal with people who don’t always know what they want or are looking for.

Rage Ground allows you and your team to vent some of that anger. It is a room designed to let you break and destroy anything you want. You get tools like pipes, bats, mallets, and full protective gear. Then you can use these tools to destroy all sorts of objects, including vases, furniture, computers, printers, lunch boxes, bread boxes, mirrors, chairs, red tubs, and so much more.

Work with your team to break bigger items, and take turns throwing and smashing stuff. Anyone can show up and almost everything, except for close-toed shoes, is provided, so it is easy to get the whole group involved.

Four to 15 people can easily go together for a team exercise.

If you are taking your team to Los Angeles and you don’t want to worry about everyone getting around, look at getting group transportation. Los Angeles group transportation options allow you to have up to 55 people in one vehicle so you can get your team and all of their belongings around without having to worry about where to park, or how everyone is going to get from place to place.

Make a weekend out of it, and do a couple of different team building exercises in one go, so you ensure everyone gets to do something that they enjoy.
