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 Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Outlook on Philippine Non-Life Insurance Segment at Stable

AM Best has maintained its market segment outlook on the Philippine non-life insurance market at stable, citing factors that include robust growth prospects, driven by economic development and rising insurance demand, along with stabilised reinsurance capacity.

In its Best’s Market Segment Report, “Market Segment Outlook: Philippines Non-Life Insurance,” AM Best states that price corrections in the property insurance segment and prudent risk selection will support premium rate adequacy going forward. In addition, insurers’ investment income is expected to be bolstered by a robust interest rate environment.

However, AM Best notes offsetting factors such as increasingly volatile weather conditions that could challenge the non-life insurance segment and generate volatility in underwriting results. AM Best also considers regulatory and disclosure requirements as beneficial in the long term, but these may increase short-term operational costs. Uncertainties in global trade policies—particularly with the United States, the Philippines’ largest export partner—could pose significant risks as well.

Gross premiums written in the non-life segment increased by 10% in 2024 to reach PHP 140 billion (USD 2.4 billion), according to the country’s insurance industry regulator, the Insurance Commission. “During the next 12 months, we expect Philippine’s non-life insurance market to continue its growth, driven by the country’s economic development and increasing insurance demand across various segments such as property, motor, and casualty,” said Susan Tan, senior financial analyst, AM Best. “This is anticipated to drive up insurance penetration in the medium term.”

The availability of reinsurance capacity in the Philippine non-life insurance market is steadily increasing, particularly for gross excess of loss programmes, although reinsurers remain cautious and continue to maintain pricing and underwriting discipline, particularly in high-risk, catastrophe exposed areas. “The increased availability of reinsurance capacity is expected to ease the heightened catastrophe risk faced by non-life insurers,” said Victoria Ohorodnyk, director, AM Best. “This favourable development should help reduce their growing risk retention while maintaining market share.”

Tan will deliver a presentation on this market segment outlook at the Philippine Insurance Summit 2025. The event takes place 20 May 2025, at Space at One Ayala in Makati City, Philippines. To learn more about the Philippine Insurance Summit 2025, please visit the event overview.
