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.

Tatakai: Precision-Built, Player-First — A New Standard for Web3 Games

By: Zexprwire
Tired of lame gimmicks? Same. That’s why a new team swings differently—a zen-level open-world card RPG forged by devs obsessed with feel, flow, and finesse. Hundreds of prototypes, combat sprints, and world-building labs later?
Hongkong, 5th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, After years of heads-down development, Tatakai arrives: an open-world card RPG built by a veteran team with one priority—making every moment feel great to play. We invested in hundreds of prototypes, worldbuilding sprints, and combat tests to earn your time before asking for your trust. Tatakai now extends an invitation—not to reveal every secret, but to share what matters most: how it moves, fights, and lives in your hands.

Built for Web3’s New Wave

Web3 gaming is at a turning point. Onboarding is simpler than ever through aggregated platforms, gasless flows, and integrated wallets, lowering the barrier for new players while retaining the transparency and security that blockchain enables. At the same time, expectations have shifted beyond click-to-earn gimmicks: players now seek meaningful, skill-based experiences that challenge them, reward mastery, and create long-term engagement.
The past year reinforced two key truths. First, distribution is everything: lightweight, social-first platforms can introduce millions of new users almost instantly, but reach alone does not guarantee success. Second, retention is paramount: only games with substance, meaningful progression, and engaging mechanics keep players when initial hype fades. Tatakai addresses both realities. Its design ensures the game is discoverable where players already spend their time, yet compelling enough that once they arrive, they remain engaged, exploring, strategizing, and mastering the worlds we’ve built. Every system, from combat to exploration, is tuned to support this dual objective of reach and depth.

Infinite Exploration Meets Hybrid On-Chain Value

Tatakai is crafted with AAA-level rigour—not as a marketing term, but as a statement of the scale of resources, iteration, and polish invested over years of development. Every system is guided by three principles: clarity, responsiveness, and consequence. Combat is readable and immediate, giving players clear feedback for their actions; progression shapes how they approach challenges and strategies; and mastery is designed to accumulate over months, rewarding sustained engagement rather than short-term play. Each element is tested and refined to create a coherent, satisfying loop that balances challenge, strategy, and fun.
This design underpins a sprawling open-world experience, where players can explore procedurally generated planets, creatures, and civilisations that evolve dynamically over time. AI-driven tools ensure that no two journeys are the same, creating a universe rich in discovery and unexpected encounters. Active dimension battles bring a layer of large-scale, strategy-driven conflict, encouraging both tactical decision-making and cooperative or competitive play across diverse environments. The result is a universe that feels truly infinite, yet meticulously engineered to maintain balance, engagement, and player agency.
On-chain features are integrated only where they enhance gameplay and value. By leveraging ERC-404, Tatakai introduces a hybrid ownership model that combines liquidity, accessibility, and transparency with a player-first approach. Economies are carefully tuned for long-term sustainability, competitive balance is rigorously maintained, and cosmetic prestige allows meaningful player expression without disrupting gameplay. In this ecosystem, blockchain functions not as a gimmick, but as infrastructure that deepens exploration, strengthens in-game systems, and supports a lasting, evolving universe for players and the broader community alike.

A Resilient Path to Durability

The market was unforgiving. Projects without depth, sustainable economies, or polish got cooked. We chose a different path: more playtests, fewer promises; more tuning, fewer tokens; more seasons, not sprints. We blended AAA discipline—automating routine tasks to focus human talent on combat, AI, and level design—with blockchain used only when it truly serves the player.
Looking ahead, our architecture leaves room for the future—from autonomous worlds to on-chain simulation—without chasing hype before the tech is ready. What’s next? Gameplay previews that will give the deets on our combat systems, and a live-ops roadmap focused on retention over spectacle. For everyone who joins Tatakai—whether as players, partners, or early supporters—the vision is the same: a world that respects your time, rewards your skill, and grows stronger the longer you stay. This isn’t a short-lived experiment. This is the foundation for an enduring universe of play. We’re about to go off.
