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.

Horace Mann Estimates Third-Quarter 2021 Catastrophe Losses in Range of $35-$40 Million, Partially Offsetting Continued Strong Business Performance

To announce third-quarter financial results on November 3 with conference call to discuss results at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on November 4

Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE: HMN) today announced third-quarter catastrophe losses are expected to be in the range of $35 million to $40 million, pretax, most notably driven by the effects of Hurricane Ida. Estimated losses from that storm are approximately $20 million to $25 million, largely due to policyholder losses in the Gulf states. In total, there were 24 events designated as catastrophe losses in the period by Property Claims Services (PCS) compared with 30 events in the third quarter of 2020 and 17 events in the third quarter of 2019.

“Horace Mann claims representatives responded quickly and compassionately to policyholders affected by Hurricane Ida. I’m proud of our team for delivering on our promise to help educators when they need it most,” said Horace Mann President and CEO Marita Zuraitis.

“Third-quarter results will reflect continued strong net investment income performance, the first steps toward the sales trends we have been anticipating and the growing value of our diversification into the Supplemental business line," Zuraitis added. “We will update our full-year 2021 guidance and comment on our 2022 outlook when we report third-quarter results.”

The company continues to assume fourth-quarter catastrophe losses will be in line with the company’s $7 million to $9 million 10-year average.

Horace Mann plans to release its third-quarter 2021 results on Wednesday, November 3, after the market closes. At that time, the quarterly news release and investor supplement will be available on the company’s website at investors.horacemann.com.
