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.

DigitalOwl and RGA Form Collaborative Underwriting Technology Partnership

Today, DigitalOwl, an insurance technology company that utilizes artificial intelligence to interpret and transform medical records into a comprehensive and interactive Digital Underwriting Abstract, and Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), a leading global life and health reinsurer, announced a collaborative partnership designed to strengthen and streamline the underwriting process.

“DigitalOwl’s mission is to support underwriters and claims analysts by using technology to help them be both more efficient and more accurate in their decisions,” said Jennifer Richards, VP Life Insurance at DigitalOwl. “Our partnership with RGA will take our product to the next level by ensuring we’re extracting and presenting exactly the data points required for accurate decisions. There really is no other product quite like ours in the market.”

The Digital Underwriting Abstract (DUA) includes more than 50 Key Impairment Analyses (KIA) that groups all essential information for each impairment into a comprehensive summary. The partnership with RGA will make the KIA for each condition even more valuable to underwriters and claims professionals because the key data points will now be 100% aligned with underwriting manuals, such as RGA’s Global Underwriting Manual (GUM). Additionally, DigitalOwl will expand its structured data file to include each of these data points, delivering a more efficient ingestion process for rules engines and for clients to utilize for mortality and morbidity analysis of inforce blocks.

The Digital Underwriting Abstract (DUA), enhanced with the underwriting and mortality expertise from RGA, helps strengthen both parties’ core offerings and further solidifies both RGA and DigitalOwl’s dedication to increased digitization and evolution of the insurance industry.

“RGA is deeply committed to the advancement of digitization and automation to expedite the utilization of EMRs and other digital underwriting data and non-digital assets,” said Dave Rengachary, Senior Vice President, Head of Underwriting, U.S. Mortality Markets, RGA. “DigitalOwl’s ability to digitize both EMR data and traditional APSs is a giant leap forward in this quest. We are excited to partner with our clients to leverage this tool to gain new efficiencies and underwriting insights.”

“RGA has dedicated many years to understanding the complex landscape of digital health data,” said Maria Beaulieu, Vice President, Digital Underwriting Transformation, Strategic Underwriting Initiatives, RGA. “This knowledge and experience uniquely positions us to work with partners to further refine their products to satisfy the underwriting use case and to deliver to the market a long-awaited digital solution.”

DigitalOwl is also launching Version 4.0 of the DUA in this month, which will include several significant enhancements:

  • Enhanced data extraction for habits such as tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana, plus several key medical impairments based on RGA’s underwriting expertise and the RGA GUM
  • Improved functionality to further streamline processing
  • A succinct narrative summary of each medical encounter utilizing revolutionary AI/generative text technology
