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 Cadence Indemnity Inc.

By: via Business Wire

AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb+” (Good) to Cadence Indemnity Inc. (Cadence) (Galveston, TX). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

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

Cadence’s balance sheet strength assessment is supported by its risk-adjusted capitalization, which is at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The company’s balance sheet also benefits from having low underwriting leverage and a low dependence on reinsurance. Offsetting these positive factors on the balance sheet are the company’s high per-occurrence limit retentions on its marine builders’ risk coverage relative to its surplus size. Additionally, Cadence’s investment portfolio carries a high level of equity exposure relative to its surplus, which can expose its surplus during times of stock market volatility.

Cadence’s operating performance is assessed as adequate based on its limited two-year historical results and prospective operating profitability. In 2023 and 2024, which were Cadence’s first two full years in operation, investment related income was the primary source of pre-tax operating earnings, with the company reporting small underwriting losses in each of those respective years. In the future, management is estimating that investment income will be the main driver of earnings, with underwriting income expected to grow over time.

Operating as a single-parent captive, the company’s mission is to provide affordable coverage on a direct basis for a diversified portfolio of risks from several commonly owned operating companies, collectively known as The Sullivan Brothers Family of Companies (SFBC). In addition to its direct writings, Cadence also assumes clinic liability coverage from its fronting partner, Continental Casualty Company. Due to the national reach of SFBC, Cadence’s risks have some spread geographically; however, the company offers very limited lines of coverage, which contributes to its limited business profile.

Cadence benefits from an appropriate ERM program that is well-integrated with that of the parent organization. Serving as an extension of SFBC’s risk management framework, Cadence deploys effective loss control and risk management capabilities.

AM Best remains the leading rating agency of alternative risk transfer entities, with more than 200 such vehicles rated in the United States and throughout the world.
