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.

Satisfaction with Group Life Insurance Languishes as Carriers Miss Mark on Policyholder Education, J.D. Power Finds

Lincoln Financial Group and New York Life Rank Highest in a Tie

A combination of limited direct engagement with insureds and a failure to offer the variety of products and services those policyholders seek have resulted in relatively low customer satisfaction scores for the group life insurance industry. According to the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Group Life Insurance Study,℠ released today, satisfaction with group life insurance trails two-thirds of other U.S. service industries evaluated by J.D. Power.

"There is really an education problem in the group life insurance marketplace,” said James Beem, managing director of global healthcare intelligence at J.D. Power. “Data shows a clear pattern of policyholders not really understanding what’s available to them. For example, three of the four most important attributes in driving overall satisfaction—overall price, availability of additional products and services, and variety of coverage options—are also among the lowest-ranked in the study. This spotlights a clear area for improvement and a huge opportunity for carriers to drive better engagement, create cross-sell opportunities and improve brand perception simply by focusing on these fundamental issues.”

Study Ranking

Lincoln Financial Group and New York Life rank highest in a tie among group life insurance providers, each with a score of 819. Guardian Life (812) ranks third.

The J.D. Power 2021 Group Life Insurance Study measures the experiences of customers of the largest life insurance providers in the United States. The study measures overall customer satisfaction based on performance in six factors (in alphabetical order): application and orientation; communication; interaction; price; product offerings; and statements.

The study is based on responses from 2,126 group life insurance customers. It was fielded from July through September 2021.
