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.

AM Best Revises Issuer Credit Rating Outlook to Positive for Redbridge Insurance Company Limited

AM Best has revised the outlook to positive from stable for the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term ICR of “bbb” (Good) of Redbridge Insurance Company Limited (RICL) (St. James, Barbados). The outlook of the FSR is stable.

These Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect RICL’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

The revised outlook to positive of the Long-Term ICR reflects AM Best’s expectation that RICL will be able to maintain its sound business strategy characterized by consistent global expansion driven by geographic, product offering, and distribution channel diversification, while sustaining its favorable trend in operating performance.

RICL is an insurance and reinsurance company founded in December 2010, and is part of Redbridge Holding, LLC (Redbridge Holding), a company specialized in the management of insurance and reinsurance. Most members of RICL’s management team have worked together for many years in developing and expanding the company; consequently, the company has achieved significant growth in recent years. Companies incorporated into RICL’s organizational structure in the latter years continue to provide services primarily to RICL, bolstering management’s commitment to continue expanding RICL.

RICL’s main line of business is health insurance, with a complete network of operations that has enabled growth mainly in the Latin America and Caribbean markets. As of December 2024, health insurance constituted 52.6% of RICL’s portfolio, followed by property/casualty insurance with 31%, travel insurance with 6.9%, and the remaining 5.5% in liabilities and life. The company is diversified geographically among 128 countries, primarily in Latin America, with its largest concentration in Mexico (14.3%).

RICL’s balance sheet is still subject to volatility derived from the company’s net business portfolio distribution and growth, as well as from pressures stemming from changes in its asset structure and cession profile.

RICL’s loss ratio remains contained driven by consistent improvements in its underwriting portfolio management. Moreover, after the incorporation of the new entities into the organization, the company’s cost-revenue structure shifted, increasing profitability. The company has maintained its retention, with an underwriting portfolio reflecting the business expansion initiatives. As of year-end 2024, RICL reflected sound underwriting and profitability metrics characterized by a 91.3% combined ratio, and a return-on-equity ratio of 32.6%.

Positive ratings actions could take place if the company sustains its favorable business strategy while generating a sound underwriting performance, which reinforces its capital base while maintaining its current levels of risk-adjusted capitalization supportive of the ratings. Negative rating actions could occur if underwriting results deteriorate and erode the company's capital base and reduce risk-adjusted capitalization to a level that no longer supports the ratings. Negative rating actions could also occur as a result of a deterioration in the financial leverage of RICL's holding company.
