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.

Ambac Establishes Strategic Partnership with Embrace Partners, a Minority-Owned Specialty Insurance MGU and DE&I Platform

Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMBC) (“Ambac”), a financial services holding company, today announced a strategic partnership via a minority ownership stake in Embrace Partners (“Embrace”), a tech-driven managing general underwriter (MGU) of specialty commercial insurance and surety. The Embrace platform also consists of a diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) consulting firm. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Embrace is led by industry veteran David Cayemitte, who will remain the majority owner. Embrace will trade on Cayemitte’s commitment to deliver a compelling, tech-driven risk management platform, incorporating insurance and surety solutions for brokers and clients to advance parity goals.

“David Cayemitte is both a visionary and a tactician, having launched The Cayemitte Group, an insurance brokerage MBE, in 2005,” Ambac CEO Claude LeBlanc said. “He is a well-respected thought leader, dedicated partner and active participant in the minority business enterprise (MBE) marketplace. We are excited about this strategic partnership and investment in Embrace and proud to support this mission-driven company.”

Embrace will offer educational services through the Minority Business Development Institute, a 501(c)(3) corporation that Cayemitte founded in 2010 to provide economic opportunities for minority-owned businesses. MBDI-trained contractors have been sourced by companies and government agencies that require diverse spend for development projects, including the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY).

“David and his team are laser-focused on helping underserved populations—specifically, minority- and women-owned businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses—participate in the construction industry,” said Michael Clay, Senior Director of the Opportunity Programs Group and Co-Leader of Procurement for DASNY. “They provide the training, capital access and bonding needed in order to bid on projects as a primary contractor, which is a game-changer. Partnering with Ambac will enable Embrace to offer these crucial programs to contractors across the nation.”

Cayemitte, a former executive at AIG, The St. Paul Companies and Travelers, said: “Diversity has become a top priority for leading organizations both in the public and private sectors. Insurance procurement and DE&I-focused programs are formidable mediums for firms to advance their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments. The Embrace platform offers the opportunity to spend responsibly in exchange for excellent products and services.

“The formation of Embrace Partners marks a momentous achievement within the insurance industry. We are leading a broader movement to bring economic opportunities to historically marginalized groups. One of our primary goals is to increase participation by minority- and women-owned business enterprises and service disabled veteran-owned businesses in public projects through access to training, working capital and insurance placement. Our collective efforts seek to balance a moral view with a business objective of aligning corporate America in a way that will help to bridge the gaps of inequality.”

Embrace’s operating platform will adopt a “digital-first” mindset, leveraging technologies such as data science, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing to put efficiency and customer experience at the forefront of its model.
