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 Assigns Credit Ratings to Trust Insurance JSC

AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of C+ (Marginal) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “b-” (Marginal) to Trust Insurance JSC (Trust Insurance) (Uzbekistan). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect Trust Insurance’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as adequate, as well as its adequate operating performance, very limited business profile and weak enterprise risk management (ERM).

Trust Insurance’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, which is expected to be at the adequate level as at year-end 2024, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The balance sheet strength assessment considers the company’s asset quality, which, despite a conservative investment allocation by asset class, is constrained by the elevated financial system risk associated with Uzbekistan, where Trust Insurance’s assets are concentrated. Another partially offsetting rating factor is the company’s small capital base, which increases its sensitivity to volatility.

Trust Insurance is expected to build a track record of adequate operating performance. The company’s technical performance in its initial years of operation was influenced by its start-up nature, with combined ratios of 104.8% in 2023 and 111.9% in 2022, negatively impacted by elevated expense ratios (55.3% in 2023 and 66.4% in 2022). Trust Insurance is expected to report positive net income for 2024 in excess of UZS 4 billion (USD 320,000). While subject to execution risk, AM Best expects the company’s operating performance to improve as it executes on its plan and successfully scales up operations.

Trust Insurance is a relatively new player in the highly competitive Uzbek market, having started its operations in 2021. Despite significant growth in recent years, the company remains small, with gross written premium expected to be around UZS 150 billion (USD 12 million) in 2024. Trust Insurance’s very limited business profile assessment also factors in the company’s high geographic concentration as its business is currently sourced solely from Uzbekistan.

Trust Insurance’s weak ERM assessment reflects risk management capabilities that are at an early stage of development and largely not commensurate with the company’s risk profile.

These assigned ratings are the result of an accepted appeal from Trust Insurance.
