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.

Ryan Specialty Signs Definitive Agreement To Acquire USQRisk Holdings

Ryan Specialty (NYSE: RYAN) (“Ryan Specialty”), a leading international specialty insurance firm, is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets of USQRisk Holdings, LLC (“USQ”). USQ will become a part of the alternative risk business within Ryan Specialty.

Formed in 2020 by an experienced management team operating in New York and London, USQ underwrites non-traditional insurance risks. USQ has two core business divisions: Alternative Risk and Facilities. Their Alternative Risk specialty underwrites, structures, prices and places specialty insurance for corporate clients seeking bespoke, multi-year risk solutions. Their Facilities specialty creates new products for unique risks in highly dislocated markets. USQ is supported by several highly rated insurance carriers.

Kieran Dempsey, CEO of Ryan Alternative Risk, commented, “USQ adds tremendous breadth and depth to our growing alternative risk business. USQ is known for their innovation across a wide variety of structured solutions, including liability, property, and auto. USQ’s expansion into facilities has given Ryan Specialty the chance to work directly with USQ though our AXSAL Re partnership, which provides excess coverage for mid-sized trucking fleets. We believe USQ to be among the highest-quality alternative risk specialists in the industry and are very much looking forward to the team joining our firm.”

Anibal Moreno, CEO of USQ, added, “We chose Ryan Specialty because we consider them to be the leader in alternative risk. As part of Ryan Specialty, we will have access to preferred trading status with the world’s largest brokers, broad-based capital support from the industry’s top insurance markets, a world-class suite of technology and back-office support, and an entrepreneurial culture that rewards innovation. We believe that our team will be able to amplify its breadth and depth at Ryan Specialty.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025.

The acquisition brings approximately $11 million of incremental operating revenue to Ryan Specialty, based on the 12 months ended December 31, 2024. This figure has not been audited.

TAG Financial Institutions Group, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor to USQ.
