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 Assigns Credit Ratings to PASHA Insurance OJSC

AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb” (Good) to PASHA Insurance OJSC (PASHA Insurance) (Azerbaijan). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. PASHA Insurance is wholly owned by PASHA Holding LLC (PASHA group), a diversified investment holding group in Azerbaijan.

The ratings reflect PASHA Insurance’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).

PASHA Insurance’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, which is expected to remain at the strongest level in the medium term, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), albeit with a somewhat limited buffer. The company has a history of high dividend payout ratios, which has limited the growth of its capital base. The assessment is supported by the company’s conservative investment allocation with a good level of liquidity. However, the asset base has a notable concentration in Azerbaijan, which exposes the company to the high economic, political and very high financial system risks. The ratings also consider PASHA Insurance’s moderate reliance on reinsurance; however, the associated credit risk is mitigated partly by a stable reinsurance panel of excellent credit quality.

PASHA Insurance has a track record of strong operating results, evidenced by a net/net combined operating ratio of 87.5% and a return on equity of 43.8% in 2024 (87.6% and 40.2% in 2023, respectively). Investment results have supplemented earnings with an 8.8% investment yield in 2024 (2023: 7.9%).

PASHA Insurance’s business profile is supportive of its limited assessment. While the company is the market leader in the domestic non-life market, its business portfolio is subject to geographical and product concentrations. PASHA Insurance has undertaken steps in recent years through internal and external resources to improve its governance and ERM framework. The company’s ERM is considered to be appropriate relative to its risk profile.
