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.

Ryan Specialty in Final Discussions to Acquire Innovisk Capital Partners

Ryan Specialty (NYSE: RYAN), a leading international specialty insurance services firm, is in final discussions to acquire Innovisk Capital Partners (“Innovisk”) from Abry Partners (“Abry”) and BHMS Investments, LP (“BHMS”). As a result of the acquisition, Innovisk would become a part of Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers (“RSUM”), the underwriting management segment within Ryan Specialty. The acquisition is expected to close early next month.

Innovisk was founded in 2017 and consists of a diverse, non-correlated portfolio of seven highly regarded specialty MGUs. Innovisk’s lines of business include environmental, transactional liability, US and international financial lines, professional liability for lawyers, commercial auto liability, and UK professional indemnity and P&C. Headquartered in London, Innovisk also has offices in the United States and India.

Commenting on Innovisk, Tim Turner, CEO of Ryan Specialty, said, “We have tremendous respect for Innovisk. Their outstanding management team has demonstrated a differentiated value proposition to brokers, agents and carriers, and their underwriting talent is among the best in the industry. At Ryan Specialty, we see new product innovation and diversification as essential components of the value that we bring to our clients and trading partners. Innovisk clearly shares this view and has made the critical investments to be able to not only launch new products but bring those products to market quickly.”

Miles Wuller, Chairman and CEO of Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers, stated, “We are very familiar with the Innovisk family of MGUs and believe them to be among the best in the industry. This highly talented team has distinguished themselves with exceptional underwriting, distribution, operational efficiency and approach to the small to middle market segment. Further, Innovisk’s data-driven underwriting focus and technology built in-house has resulted in attractive loss ratios and deep carrier relationships. We believe we have a unique opportunity to accelerate the remarkable growth trajectories of both Innovisk and Ryan Specialty by bringing the two firms together. We’re very excited to have the Innovisk team onboard.”

David Thomas, CEO of Innovisk, stated, “Ryan Specialty has the right leadership and platform to accelerate the growth of our exceptional offering and offer significant ongoing opportunity to our employees. With the shared mission to innovate where there is need and service clients and trading partners at the highest level, the addition of our team to RSUM will be smooth and empowering for our teammates. We have watched Ryan Specialty grow and earn the reputation as a specialty insurance leader, and we couldn’t be more excited to join this widely respected firm. I also want to thank Abry and BHMS for being incredible partners to date.”

Innovisk generated approximately $58 million of operating revenue for the 12 months ended July 31, 2024.1

Ardea Partners serves as exclusive financial advisor to Innovisk. Insurance Advisory Partners LLC serves as exclusive financial advisor to Ryan Specialty.

As acquisition terms have not been finalized, no assurances can be made around completion of the acquisition.
