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 Affirms Credit Ratings of Seguros G&T, S.A.

AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) of Seguros G&T, S.A. (SG&T) (Guatemala). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect SG&T’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

SG&T was established in 1947 and is the second-largest insurer in Guatemala, with a market share of 14%. The company’s product portfolio is composed mainly of property/casualty (69.8%), accident & health (21.8%) and life (8.4%), as of December 2024. SG&T holds very competitive positions across most lines of business within Guatemala’s insurance industry due to its permanence and brand recognition.

SG&T is owned privately by GTC Investments, Ltd. (GTC), the non-operating holding company of the Grupo Financiero G&T Continental financial conglomerate.

AM Best views SG&T’s business profile as neutral, based on the company’s top market position, brand recognition and experienced management. AM Best recognizes SG&T’s technical capabilities to produce favorable results, uninterrupted during the past five years. The company’s technical and managerial capabilities continue to support its strategy in its core segment while continuously looking to diversify into profitable lines.

AM Best assesses SG&T’s balance sheet strength at the strongest level, due to its capacity to protect its balance sheet, as reflected in AM Best’s risk-adjusted capitalization assessment of strongest, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). These factors are driven by sound capital management, including its comprehensive reinsurance program, conservative investment portfolio and appropriate asset liability management practices. The company reports consistently profitable results, which are reflected in its growing capital base.

AM Best considers SG&T’s operating performance as adequate, as technical results for year-end 2024 remained positive, backed by improvements in most of its business lines. The adequate assessment also considers the company’s efforts to continue creating savings and efficiencies on the expense side while aiming to improve underwriting quality. AM Best will continue to monitor SG&T’s operating performance, as the competitive environment in Guatemala’s market continues to evolve.

The stable outlooks reflect SG&T’s technical capabilities to maintain profitable underwriting and continue growing its capital base.

Positive rating actions could take place if the company’s operating performance continues to trend positively while maintaining stability in its current risk-adjusted capitalization levels.

Negative rating actions could take place if the company’s risk-adjusted capitalization deteriorates due to catastrophe events substantially affecting its capital base.
