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 Stable Outlook on Global Cyber Insurance Segment

AM Best is maintaining its stable outlook on the global cyber insurance segment, as demand for coverage remains strong and is anticipated to persist.

The Best’s Market Segment Report, “Market Segment Outlook: Global Cyber Insurance,” states that although cyber insurance market conditions have softened since 2023, a major opportunity for market expansion still exists as awareness and adoption of cyber insurance continue to rise, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises. Profitability is also expected to continue over the intermediate term despite ongoing competitive pressures.

“Fundamentally, the market’s expansion is underpinned by increasing awareness of cyber risk and the need for risk transfer solutions to protect against the growing threat of cyber crime,” said Robert Gabriel, senior financial analyst, AM Best. “Heightened awareness of cyber threats also has motivated insureds to strengthen their cyber hygiene, leading to more robust defenses and swifter incident responses, which in turn has helped to reduce potential losses.”

Other factors underpinning the stable outlook include:

  • Continued capital support and expansion fueled by reinsurers and, to some extent, alternative capital providers.
  • Artificial intelligence-driven risk selection and underwriting, which builds in efficiencies.
  • Regulatory and compliance requirements that are driving higher cyber insurance adoption.

The report notes that systemic risks from large-scale cyber incidents remain a concern due to the interconnectedness of digital systems and the potential for cascading losses across industries. The AI-driven proliferation of cyber-attacks also can increase the scale and complexity of attacks. Additionally, the ongoing challenge of ransomware, business email compromise and funds transfer fraud continues to escalate.
