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.

Prudential Financial to Reinsure $7B Japanese Whole Life Block with Prismic Life

Second transaction expands Prismic’s AUM to estimated $17 billion

Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) announced today an agreement to reinsure a portion of its recently originated Japanese whole life policies with a subsidiary of Prismic Life (Prismic), a Bermuda-based life and annuity reinsurance company sponsored by Prudential and Warburg Pincus and supported by a group of global investors.

Under the terms of the agreement, Prismic will reinsure approximately $7 billion of reserves backing USD-denominated Japanese whole life insurance policies which were recently originated by Prudential’s Japanese affiliates. Prudential’s obligations to these policyholders will remain unchanged following the reinsurance arrangement, and Prudential will continue to administer the contracts.

“We are excited to enter a second Prismic transaction alongside our co-investors which adds further scale to this unique reinsurance platform,” said Charles F. Lowrey, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial. “We look forward to deepening our strategic partnership with Prismic to help grow our business and expand access to investing, insurance, and retirement security around the world.”

The transaction is expected to bring Prismic’s assets under management to $17 billion. PGIM Multi-Asset Solutions and Warburg Pincus will continue to provide asset management services to Prismic across public and private markets, including public fixed income, private credit, private real estate, and private equity.

“Prismic is proud to provide a reinsurance solution for Prudential’s Japanese whole life insurance policies,” said Nandini Mongia, group executive chair and CEO of Prismic. “This transaction further strengthens Prismic’s platform by diversifying its earnings and risk profile, building on the inaugural transaction with Prudential in September 2023.”

As part of the transaction, Prudential intends to make an equity investment in Prismic of approximately $100 million, alongside a group of global investors who will invest additional consideration of approximately $400 million.

The consummation of the transaction, which was entered into in December 2024 and ratified by Prismic investors in January 2025, is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Prismic Life was advised by PGIM Multi-Asset Solutions LLC, Agam Capital Management LLC, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and Appleby (Bermuda) Limited. Debevoise & Plimpton LLP served as legal counsel to Prudential Financial.
