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 Affirms Credit Ratings of Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d. and Pozavarovalnica Triglav Re, d.d.

AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of “a” (Excellent) of Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d. (Triglav), the operating holding company of the Triglav group and Pozavarovalnica Triglav Re, d.d. (Triglav Re), a wholly owned subsidiary of Triglav. Both companies are domiciled in Slovenia. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect Triglav’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). The ratings of Triglav Re factor in its strategic importance to Triglav, together with its strong integration into the group.

Triglav’s very strong balance sheet strength assessment is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The assessment also considers the group’s good financial flexibility, with proven access to equity and debt markets. Financial leverage and interest coverage are well within AM Best’s tolerances. Historically, a partially offsetting balance sheet strength factor has been the high average guarantees embedded within the group’s life portfolio compared with peers; however, this average has diminished in recent years, as the sale of products with guarantees was discontinued in 2019, while the company’s investment yield has improved, driven by elevated interest rates.

After two years of depressed profitability, Triglav’s performance strongly recovered in 2024, with a combined ratio of 91.0% (2023: 102.6%), as calculated by AM Best, and return on equity (ROE) of 14.0% (2023: 1.8%), also as calculated by AM Best. Strong operating profits have been driven by excellent non-life profitability, organically supported by life, reinsurance and asset management businesses. The profitability of Triglav’s international operations in the West Balkans remains modest mainly due to intense competitive conditions and high operating costs. Nonetheless, the group continues to demonstrate improvements in earnings derived from this region, as it grows and actively seeks alternative, lower cost distribution channels.

For the first half of 2025, the group recorded a strong profit before taxes of EUR 109.6 million, resulting in an annualized ROE of 19.2%, as reported by the company. AM Best expects full-year results to be in line with Triglav’s strong operating performance assessment.

Triglav benefits from its leading position in its domestic market, with a 40.8% market share, in terms of gross written premium (GWP), in 2024. The group is also a dominant player in the Adria region, with a market share of 20.6%. Triglav writes a well-diversified portfolio by product and geography. The group experienced a slowdown in GWP growth in 2024 due to a government-imposed discontinuation of the supplementary health insurance in Slovenia. However, AM Best expects significant premium growth in 2025, as the company is entering Italy’s motor market through a partnership with Italian managing general agent Prima Assicurazioni S.p.A.

AM Best considers Triglav’s ERM to be developed and appropriate for the company’s risk profile and operational scope.
