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.

Best’s Special Report: China’s New Energy Vehicle Growth Transforms the Country’s Motor Insurance Market

As China continues to lead the way globally in producing and selling new energy vehicles (NEV), the trend has spurred a sixfold increase in related insurance premiums for this segment in just the past five years alone, according to a new AM Best report.

NEV premiums now represent 11.5% of China’s total motor insurance business, momentum that AM Best expects to continue as a key element of future market growth. However, the higher claims frequency and repair costs associated with NEVs are posing a challenge for small and medium-sized insurers when it comes to profitability.

According to the report, China is poised to further strengthen its lead in this segment, underpinned by supportive governmental policies, increased consumer demand for sustainable transportation and technology advancements.

“As the NEV insurance business grows, traditional large insurance companies are taking advantage of their scale to expand market share,” said Aaron Li, associate financial analyst, AM Best.

China’s motor insurance market is dominated by three major insurers that together account for about 70% of the market premiums: the People’s Insurance Company of China; China Pacific Property Insurance Co., Ltd.; and Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. The Big Three posted favourable underwriting profits after the comprehensive motor insurance reforms in 2020, including an aggregate combined ratio on the motor line that is lower than the market average over the past seven years. During that same timeframe, the rest of the market has collectively failed to break even, according to the report. As for NEV insurance, the combined ratio is generally higher compared to traditional motor insurance, which caused more pressure for small and medium-sized insurers to manage profitability.

While the traditional large-size players maintain competitive leverage by taking advantage of their scale, automobile manufacturers are actively entering the insurance landscape via acquiring domestic insurance brokers and setting up insurance companies. This may lead to potential change in the competitive landscape and closer cooperation between the insurers and manufacturers.
