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.

Yijin Hardware Establishes China-Based Hockey Stick Manufacturing for Global Brands

 

Homestead, FL, United States, 19th Aug 2025 - Yijin Hardware, an engineering-focused manufacturer specializing in precision CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and custom fasteners, with in-house capabilities in design, prototyping, production, and quality assurance, serving industries including automotive, aerospace, medical, and energy, has announced the establishment of a dedicated hockey stick manufacturing operation at its existing facility in Yabian Community, Shajing Street, Baoan District, Shenzhen, China. The development addresses increasing global demand for high-performance sports equipment manufacturing capacity and diversified sourcing options for international brands.

The Shenzhen operation produces hockey sticks for professional, amateur, and recreational markets, integrating advanced composite material processing with precision manufacturing techniques. Situated in a region with established supply chain infrastructure for sports equipment, the facility serves both North American and European brand partners while maintaining scalability for emerging markets.

The manufacturing process combines traditional craftsmanship with automated production methods to ensure consistent quality and performance. This includes the use of precision molds, controlled curing environments, and rigorous inspection protocols for each production batch. By aligning production with the needs of global brands, the operation accommodates a range of design specifications, material compositions, and performance characteristics.

Gavin Yi, CEO of Yijin Hardware, commented on the initiative, “The establishment of the hockey stick manufacturing operation in Shenzhen reflects a strategic approach to expanding production capabilities in sectors where material engineering and precision fabrication are essential. The goal was to create a facility that could meet the technical expectations of international sports equipment brands while ensuring efficiency and quality control throughout the manufacturing process.”

In addition to production capabilities, the facility includes a dedicated quality assurance team to oversee compliance with client specifications and industry standards. This encompasses tensile strength testing, flex rating verification, and finish quality assessments to ensure product consistency before distribution.

The decision to build this capability in Shenzhen followed an evaluation of logistical advantages, raw material accessibility, and skilled labor availability. Proximity to established composite material suppliers and streamlined export processes reduces lead times and supports flexible order volumes for brand partners.

Hockey equipment manufacturing has traditionally been concentrated in select regions, but increasing demand for both performance-grade and entry-level sticks has prompted brands to diversify production locations. The Yijin Hardware operation contributes to this diversification by providing a manufacturing base capable of serving multiple market segments without compromising technical requirements.

The move also aligns with a broader shift toward integrated manufacturing solutions, where companies seek partners that can manage design, prototyping, and production under a single operational framework. Leveraging its existing precision engineering expertise, Yijin Hardware adapts manufacturing processes to meet the specific performance metrics required by each client.

Looking toward future developments, Gavin Yi stated, "The hockey stick manufacturing initiative is part of a larger strategy to expand capabilities into new product categories that align with the company’s engineering strengths. Ongoing research and process refinement will focus on improving material performance, optimizing production efficiency, and supporting brand partners in meeting evolving market demands."

The Shenzhen facility is currently fulfilling orders for multiple international brands, with production schedules structured to meet both seasonal demand and long-term supply agreements. Early collaboration with brand partners included prototype evaluations and design refinements to align output with performance expectations.
