  4. Why Healthcare Organizations Need Fast, Reliable Networks More Than Ever

    As millions of aging baby boomers enter their senior years—driving up demand for healthcare—networks must support increasingly complex and data-heavy systems (medsien.com). At the same time, rising cybersecurity threats have made fast, reliable connectivity a critical necessity (processbolt.com). 

    To keep up with growing demands, healthcare organizations must invest in high-speed, scalable IT infrastructure that ensures seamless performance across all operations—from patient intake to back-office systems. This post explores the key components of a reliable healthcare network and the risks of falling behind in keeping such a network in step with the times. We also provide practical solutions like upgraded cabling, PoE technology and surge protection that help future-proof healthcare environments.

  5. Building IT Infrastructure for Hotels and Restaurant Chains

    In today’s hospitality landscape, digital experiences are no longer a luxury—they’re expected. Whether guests are checking into a boutique hotel or placing a mobile order at a quick-service restaurant, seamless technology drives satisfaction. From blazing-fast Wi-Fi to secure point-of-sale (POS) systems and ambient AV displays, IT infrastructure now plays a frontline role in operations and guest perception. 

    This blog outlines key infrastructure components that hospitality IT managers, network engineers and facilities teams should prioritize when planning or upgrading systems in hotels and restaurant chains. 

    The Foundation: High-Quality Cabling for Reliability and Speed 

    Robust cabling is the backbone of any successful IT deployment. For high-speed data transmission in hotels and restaurants, Cat6a/7 cables are ideal. They support 10Gbps performance and better shielding to prevent interference from HVAC systems, kitchen equipment or nearby cabling.

  6. Why Small and Mid-Size Businesses Prefer Wall Mount Racks

    Small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) face a unique set of challenges when it comes to building and maintaining their IT infrastructure. With more limited budgets and physical footprints compared to large enterprises, SMBs must make every dollar and square foot count. Data centers or server rooms for these businesses are often compact and multifunctional, doubling as storage closets, back offices, or even converted utility spaces. Given this, choosing the right equipment can have a huge impact on efficiency and scalability. 

    One smart investment that addresses both space and cost concerns is the wall mount rack. Unlike traditional floor-standing server racks, wall-mounted solutions are designed to maximize limited space, providing a clean, efficient way to house networking equipment without sacrificing accessibility or airflow. In this post, we’ll explore five reasons why wall mount racks are especially well-suited to the needs of SMBs. From space-saving benefits to affordability and flexibility,

  7. How to Achieve Server Room Scalability Without Breaking the Bank

    Small and mid-size organizations often face a difficult challenge when designing their server rooms. They need IT infrastructures that are compact and cost-effective while ensuring they can accommodate future expansion. Achieving this balance requires careful planning, as businesses must find ways to make their networks adaptable without overspending on excessive capacity upfront. The key to overcoming this challenge is to implement solutions that enhance scalability without inflating costs. 

    This blog post explores how businesses can achieve a scalable IT infrastructure while staying within budget. We cover essential product categories that contribute to server room scalability: server racks and cabinets, cable assemblies, and cable management solutions. By selecting the right combination of these products, companies can create a server room that supports long-term growth while maintaining efficiency and organization.

  8. Big Storage with a Low Profile: 3 Advantages of Vertical Wall Racks

    Office space is not exactly getting cheaper, and thus many organizations have turned to vertical wall racks to optimize their use of available square footage, especially in cramped data centers and IT closets. Vertical wall racks can do two things to maximize room space. First, they can get some of your equipment up off the floor to open up your floor plan. Second, they can take advantage of wall space you didn’t know you had.

    As a bonus, vertical enclosures with a white finish offer aesthetic benefits as well.

    Vertical racks are top-loading, positioning your components 90 degrees to face the ceiling. Unlike horizontal racks, which can extend 2 to 3 feet from the wall, a 2U vertical enclosure projects less than 5 inches. These racks are tall enough (up to 35 inches in ShowMeCables’ vertical models) to accommodate your deepest components, but by hugging the wall with their modest depths, they do a lot of work without being obtrusive.

    Below we touch on three major advantages of these innovative

  9. What is a VESA Mount?

     

    VESA mount patterns are the series of holes found on the back of a television or monitor, used to attach them to wall mounts. There are a few other names that can apply to these standards as well. VESA stands for Video Electronics Standards Association. The organization VESA is a technical standards association located in California that focuses on computer and video displays. Most major companies that manufacture monitors or televisions (Dell, Sony, Samsung, etc.) are members of the organization and follow its standards. Items made by these members follow VESA standards and even non-member companies tend to stick to them for the sake of conformity.

    Officially, VESA mount patterns were dubbed Flat Display Mounting Interfaces (FDMI) by the VESA organization. As a secondary name, the patterns were also called VESA Mounting Interface Standards (MIS). This second name stuck and was eventually shorthanded to just “VESA mounts”. Still wondering what is a VESA mount?

  10. TV Mounts

     

    TV mounts have become increasingly popular during the new era of the flat screen TV. Now that TVs are not giant, heavy boxes that require a dedicated TV stand, a simple mount can be used instead to save space and provide a sleeker look. There are just a few facts to know before selecting a TV mount to make sure you choose the best unit for your needs.

    TV mounts come in three varieties: fixed, tilting, and articulating. Fixed TV mounts are solid; the TV simply hangs in place and cannot be moved. Tilting TV mounts can tilt down a little, making them easier to see when hung up high and saving viewers from straining their necks. Articulating TV mounts are wall mounts with a swinging arm, allowing the mount to face different directions. Most articulating mounts can also tilt as well. Ceiling TV mounts can also have the option to swivel, which is a rough equivalent to the articulating wall mounts.

    Every TV mount is compatible with drywall and comes with the bolts, drywall anchors, and other
