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.

Institutional Sports Equipment Expands Wall Padding Resources With New Manufacturer

A company specializing in supplying clients with commercial wall padding secures relationships with a new manufacturer, cutting shipping costs and times for clients in the Southeast.

(PRUnderground) June 23rd, 2025

Wall padding is a key component of any sports or gym facility. For Institutional Sports Equipment (ISE), it is a top-selling product and an essential part of the gym layouts for many clients, including schools, recreation centers, private gyms, and multipurpose spaces at churches and community centers. While quality and durability are top priorities when choosing wall padding, using a manufacturer close to the client can have financial benefits, helping to reserve limited funds and stretch the budget. By partnering with a new manufacturer in North Carolina, Institutional Sports Equipment aims to ease the cost of shipping wall padding while delivering the same high-quality clients expect from the company.

As owner and equipment consultant for ISE, Tom Nicotera has made it his mission to help clients choose commercial-grade sports equipment that fits their facility and meets their unique use cases. While he can assist with ordering everything from basketball goals and pickleball nets to scoreboards and bleachers, wall padding is one item for which demand never dips. Many clients want to add protective wall padding around walls, hoops, and other obstacles to keep athletes safe. However, demand for padding for sensory rooms and even homes is also growing, driving demand for quality products.

“Some clients already have wall padding in place when they contact me about purchasing equipment for their space,” remarked Nicotera. “However, for those without it, wall padding is a key piece of the project. Unfortunately for some, the distance from their facility to the manufacturer can add significantly in the form of freight costs. With a trusted manufacturer in North Carolina, we will be able to help clients keep costs low and quality high.”

Although standard wall padding will meet many facilities’ needs, the 2-foot by 6-foot panels don’t work for every situation. Luckily, wall padding is nearly infinitely customizable. Printed indoor wall padding can display team spirit proudly throughout the space. Because even the most ordinary spaces contain pillars, poles, doors, outlets, and other irregularities, manufacturers make padding panels in custom sizes and shapes to maintain functionality and safety.

“Modern athletic equipment is designed for playability and injury prevention. Breakaway rims, shatterproof backboards, and wall padding all work together to enhance the way your space works for players,” stated Nicotera. “I personally vet each manufacturer before I recommend their product to my clients, and I am excited to show my clients what this new manufacturer has to offer those in the Southeast US.”
