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 Arundo Re

AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a” (Excellent) of Arundo Re (France). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. The company’s majority shareholder is Société Mutuelle d'Assurance du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics (SMABTP).

The ratings reflect Arundo Re’s 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.

Arundo Re’s balance sheet strength assessment reflects its risk-adjusted capitalisation being at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), supported by internal capital generation. This assessment also factors in the company’s low dependence on reinsurance and conservative reserving practices, as well as its liquid and good quality investment portfolio. Arundo Re has demonstrated its financial flexibility, most recently with the issuance of EUR 300 million of subordinated debt in 2020.

Arundo Re has been profitable since its creation as a stand-alone company in 2016, with earnings stemming from underwriting and investment activities. Since inception, the company has experienced strong growth, with net written premium expanding at an average annual rate of 19% for the five-year period ending in 2024 (15% in 2024). Profit after tax has trended higher during the past few years, with an average return on capital and surplus of 8% for the five-year period ending in 2024 (9% in 2024).

Arundo Re’s neutral business profile is supported by its established presence in the international reinsurance market. In January 2025, the company officially rebranded as Arundo Re from CCR RE. The company has a well-diversified underwriting portfolio, benefiting from an extensive client base.
