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 Upgrades Issuer Credit Rating of AVLA Perú Compañía de Seguros S.A.

AM Best has upgraded the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) to “bbb+” (Good) from “bbb” (Good) and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) of AVLA Perú Compañía de Seguros S.A. (AVLA Perú) (Lima, Peru). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect AVLA Perú balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

The upgrade of AVLA Perú’s Long-Term ICR recognizes its affiliation and strategic importance to its ultimate parent, AVLA Bermuda Holding Corp Ltd. (ABHC), a financial holding company domiciled in Bermuda that is engaged in insurance operations in Chile, Peru, Mexico, Brazil and the United States. As of May 2025, ABHC had equity of USD 89 million.

The stable outlooks reflect AM Best’s expectation that the company will be able to continue growing and return to profitable technical results, while maintaining its risk-adjusted capitalization.

AVLA Perú is a surety, credit and property/casualty insurer that began operations in 2015. The company specializes in surety and complimentary lines of credit insurance, as well as a property line, engineering. AVLA Perú remains in the top 10 among Peru’s non-life carriers and top three in the country’s surety segment, based on market share.

AM Best views AVLA Perú business profile as neutral. Since its creation in 2015, AVLA Perú has capitalized successfully on Peru’s guarantee market, which has limited capacity, and become one of the country’s main participants for credit insurance and surety. AM Best’s neutral assessment of the company’s business profile reflects the size of its operation within a small segment in Peru.

AM Best considers the company’s operating performance to be adequate. AVLA Perú has been able to promote its products in a profitable manner and maintain adequate underwriting performance since 2017, taking proactive steps to manage claims due to market events and developing alternatives for revenue. AVLA Perú’s technical results have been complemented by an active investment strategy that generated good investment results in 2024.

AVLA Perú’s balance sheet strength assessment is very strong given its solid capital base for the risks it undertakes, as reflected in its strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The very strong balance sheet strength assessment also recognizes the company’s capital management capabilities and shareholders’ willingness and proven history of making capital contributions to support AVLA Perú’s growth. A panel of reinsurers supports AVLA Perú’s balance sheet strength level with excellent security.

Positive rating actions could take place if AVLA Perú is able to achieve a consistent upward trend in risk-adjusted capitalization, underpinned by positive bottom-line results. Negative rating actions could occur if the operating performance of AVLA Perú deteriorates due to further losses to a point no longer supportive of the adequate assessment. Negative rating actions could occur if in AM Best's opinion, the strategic importance of AVLA Perú to its group decreased significantly or if the consolidated financial strength of the AVLA Group deteriorated to a point no longer supportive of the current ratings.
