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 Special Report: Strong Profitability for Thailand’s Non-Life Insurers in 2023

Thailand’s non-life insurance market marked a turnaround in 2023, posting an underwriting gain of THB 13.0 billion following a difficult 2022, when it reported a net underwriting loss of THB 50.7 billion, according to a new AM Best report.

In a new Best’s Special Report, titled, “Strong Profitability for Thailand Non-Life Insurers in 2023,” AM Best states that the 2022 underwriting loss was the largest the non-life industry has experienced since 2011, when Thailand saw severe widespread flooding. The rebound was attributed to a rise in premium income and a decline in claims incurred, with the health and hull lines performing more favourably.

Despite rising inflation driven largely by energy prices, non-life earned premiums continued to increase in 2023, based on the results of 37 companies followed for this report, which account for more than 90% of the industry. However, premiums were generally flat in the first three quarters of 2024.

“Motor insurance remains the dominant line of business owing to rising domestic car sales, led by electric vehicles, and accounted for 57% of direct premiums in 2023,” said Cynthia Ang, senior industry research analyst, AM Best. “Motor insurance also typically constitutes a high proportion of premiums collected by most Thai insurers. Our analysis shows that six of the 10 leading non-life insurers generated more than 50% of their direct premiums from motor insurance.”

Health insurance is Thailand’s fourth-largest line and has consistently contributed to overall non-life premium growth for some time; however, the segment recorded two years of decline in direct premiums written after surging in 2021. According to the report, the decline in health premiums was due to a variety of factors, including a rise in medical inflation, an increase in the co-payment limit on standard personal health insurance policies and the financial difficulties faced by a number of non-life insurers in the wake of surging claims from low-cost COVID-19 lump-sum policies.

Overall, the losses in 2022 resulted in drastic declines in capital for Thailand’s non-life insurers. Although capital had rebounded for most companies in 2023 due to profitability, several insurers ran into financial difficulty, and the regulator has allowed some insurance companies to introduce temporary measures to improve their liquidity.
