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 Revises Outlook to Positive and Affirms Performance Assessment of CargoCorp Underwriters Inc.

AM Best has revised the outlook to positive from stable and affirmed the Performance Assessment (assessment) of PA-3 (Strong) of CargoCorp Underwriters Inc. (CCUW) (Miami, FL).

The assessment reflects CCUW’s strong underwriting capabilities, excellent governance and internal controls, strong financial condition, strong organizational talent and strong depth and breadth of relationships.

CCUW is a managing general agent (MGA) specializing in underwriting marine and its affiliated lines in the Latin American market. Since launching its first program in 2015, CCUW has demonstrated its underwriting expertise by generating profitable business for its carrier partners. Its capabilities are further enhanced by an internal, proprietary software system that delivers detailed risk assessments and exposure monitoring. Premium growth over the years has been driven by the expansion of existing programs and entry into new lines of business.

CCUW’s governance and internal controls are considered excellent given the company’s size and scale. CCUW has developed and implemented a robust internal audit process to ensure alignment between operational practices and strategic objectives. The company’s governance framework continues to evolve annually, informed by internal and external feedback. Its proprietary technology platform is continually enhanced as the company expands its information technology team and leverages growing data resources.

CCUW’s strong financial condition is supported by a trend of consistently profitable earnings, strong cash flow results and increasing positive net worth. Fee income growth is supported by an expanding premium base as well as increasing profit commission levels. Income stability is reinforced further by the diversity of programs underwritten. CCUW is privately held, and all insurance risk is placed outside the organization.

CCUW is staffed appropriately for its size and scale with extensive industry experience in marine cargo and affiliated lines. The company’s compact organizational structure supports effective communication and operational efficiency. Many processes are retained in-house to ensure consistency and provide flexibility. Since its inception, the company has continued to grow its underwriting and overall staff.

CCUW’s program portfolio has evolved significantly since its founding. The company offers a range of programs across lines of business and geographic regions, with a niche focus in marine and affiliated coverages in Latin America. CCUW has broadened its network of capacity providers and brokers and expanded its geographic footprint in recent years. Management remains focused on identifying growth opportunities in new markets while maintaining longstanding relationships with highly rated capacity providers.

The revised outlook to positive from stable reflects the expectation that CCUW will continue to execute its business strategy effectively as it broadens its underwriting portfolio, expands its geographic footprint, enhances organizational capabilities and deepens its network of relationships while maintaining underwriting profitability and a strong financial position.
