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.

Kingstone Announces 2024/2025 Catastrophe Reinsurance Treaty Savings of $6 Million

KINGSTON, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 20, 2024 / Kingstone Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: KINS) (the "Company" or "Kingstone"), a Northeast regional property and casualty insurance holding company, today announced that its catastrophe reinsurance program for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 has been finalized.

Jennifer Gravelle, Chief Financial Officer at Kingstone, stated, "I am delighted to share that Kingstone has finalized its 2024/2025 catastrophe reinsurance placement. The Company purchased $275 million of total catastrophe limit and reduced its first event retention to $5 million. The total cost is approximately 14% of projected direct premiums earned, a significant reduction from 19% for the previous treaty period.

Last year, we tightened our underwriting and curtailed new business writings to better manage our catastrophe exposure and reduce our probable maximum loss ("PML"). Although reinsurance pricing increased, it was not as significant as projected. As a result of these efforts, and other factors, we were able to lower our 24/25 reinsurance treaty cost by approximately $6 million, improving our projected full-year earnings by approximately $0.21 per share and better protecting the Company with a lower first event retention. The savings will be reflected in the 2024 third and fourth quarter results.

Meryl Golden, Chief Executive Officer of Kingstone, continued, "We appreciate the broad support we received from our valued reinsurance partners, with over 25 reinsurers participating in the program. In 2024, with the expectation of the reinsurance market softening and with confidence in our rates, we re-adjusted our underwriting guidelines to accept more new business. This has resulted in greater than 20% premium growth in our Core New York State business, which continues to accelerate, while we were also able to greatly reduce the cost of this year's reinsurance placement."
