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 Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Stable Outlook on Indonesia’s Non-Life Insurance Segment

AM Best has maintained its outlook on Indonesia’s non-life insurance segment at stable, citing resilient growth prospects, ongoing regulatory refinements and robust investment returns.

According to the Best’s Market Segment Report, “Market Segment Outlook: Indonesia Non-Life Insurance,” AM Best expects continued expansion in Indonesia’s non-life market, supported by ongoing infrastructure development, solid household consumption and sustained government spending, which should drive higher demand for commercial insurance. In addition, rising health care awareness is expected to boost growth of the health insurance segment.

Ongoing regulatory refinements also support the long-term financial stability of the domestic non-life insurance industry. As of June 2025, most non-life insurance companies have complied with the first phase of the new minimum capital requirements set forth by Indonesia Financial Services Authority’s (OJK) Regulation 23 of 2023. “While the minimum equity requirements impose short-term stress on financially weaker insurers, greater financial resilience of the industry is supportive of sustainable insurance market growth over the long term,” said XinYa Ong, financial analyst, AM Best.

Interest rates also remain robust in Indonesia compared with historical levels, according to the report. Given that term deposits and fixed-income instruments constitute most of the segment’s investments, the robust interest rate environment is expected to benefit the overall earnings of non-life companies.

At the same time, the report notes that underwriting performance in the credit and health insurance segments remains under pressure as paid loss experience of credit lines has continued to adversely develop in recent periods, while health insurance claims have been adversely impacted by high medical inflation and fraudulent behaviour. Another moderating factor to the stable outlook is statutory tariffs on the property and motor business lines, which limits Indonesian insurers’ ability to adjust premium rates. Pricing risk is also emerging in the motor segment as electric-vehicle adoption grows in Indonesia.

“The lack of pricing flexibility, coupled with increased exposure to catastrophe losses, inflationary pressures and evolving risk profiles, heightens pricing risks,” said Chris Lim, associate director, analytics, AM Best. “Nonetheless, regulatory refinements under consideration and potential adjustments to property and motor insurance tariff rates may alleviate this risk over time.”
