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 Removes From Under Review With Developing Implications; Upgrades Credit Ratings of SafePort Insurance Company; Affirms Credit Ratings on Remaining Members of GeoVera Nova Insurance Group

AM Best has removed from under review with developing implications and upgraded the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) to “a” (Excellent) from “a-” (Excellent) of SafePort Insurance Company (SafePort) (Sarasota, FL). SafePort is a newly added member to GeoVera Nova Insurance Group (GeoVera Nova) (headquartered in Fairfield, CA). AM Best has also removed from under review with developing implications and affirmed the FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICRs of “a” (Excellent) on the remaining members of GeoVera Nova, which operates under inter-company pooling and reinsurance agreements. The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (See below for a detailed listing of the companies.)

The ratings reflect GeoVera Nova’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.

The ratings were initially placed under review with developing implications in April 2024, following the announcement that GeoVera Insurance Holdings, Ltd. (GeoVera Holdings) had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its managing general agent (MGA) business to SageSure Holdings, LLC. (SageSure), a residential property catastrophe MGA, and its insurance companies to GeoVera Nova Holdings, Inc. (GeoVera Nova Holdings), a newly formed holding company. As part of the latter transaction, GeoVera Nova Holdings also acquired SafePort, a SageSure carrier partner. The transactions concluded in two phases with GeoVera Nova Holdings acquiring SafePort in October 2024 and GeoVera Holdings in January 2025. Subsequently, SafePort was added to the GeoVera Nova inter-company pooling agreement. In AM Best’s view, the addition of SafePort does not result in a material change to any of the current building block assessments or overall ratings of the group.

Going forward, the new carrier group will be managed by former GeoVera Nova executive leadership, led by John Forney, chief executive officer. GeoVera Nova’s management retains full underwriting authority over the pool, as well as, has the ability to remediate forms, rates, assess risk selection and pullback on the pool's exposures when risks do not fall within its risk appetite.

The FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICRs of “a” (Excellent) have been removed under review with developing implications, affirmed and assigned stable outlooks for the following members of GeoVera Nova Insurance Group:

  • Coastal Select Insurance Company
  • GeoVera Insurance Company
  • GeoVera Reinsurance, Ltd.
  • GeoVera Specialty Insurance Company
