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 Eureka-Re SCC

AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) of Eureka-Re SCC (Eureka) (Barbados). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect Eureka’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 (ERM).

The stable outlooks reflect AM Best’s expectation that Eureka’s overall balance sheet strength will continue to benefit from appropriate ERM practices and a positive operating performance.

Eureka, established in Barbados in 2009, is a regional reinsurer in Latin America. The company underwrites mostly lower layers of facultative programs, originated through managing general agents. While most of the premium taken by the company is sourced from Latin America, it has diversified internationally, investing in seasoned personnel and systems. AM Best assesses Eureka’s business profile as neutral, recognizing the company’s evolving geographic diversification and its capacity to assume risks; AM Best will continue to monitor these assumed risks and the company’s performance in newer territories.

AM Best assesses Eureka’s balance sheet strength at the very strong level, as the availability and quality of its capital have strengthened through positive bottom-line results, limited risk takings and a policy to reinvest earnings. The company is subject to catastrophe-related losses, and as a result, has implemented a stringent risk modeling procedure and adjusted its retentions according to its experience, further enhancing its reinsurance program with a high-quality panel of reinsurers. Investments are set to match insurance obligations, with a proprietary portfolio aimed at achieving yield and developing business opportunities. AM Best will continue to monitor these investments and the impact on the company’s risk-adjusted capitalization.

AM Best assesses Eureka’s operating performance as adequate, as it has sustained profitable performance in 2024 through its technical capacities. These results reflect Eureka’s continuous strengthening of its ERM practices and adjustments in underwriting and retentions that have adapted successfully to the evolving business landscape.

Negative rating actions could take place if Eureka’s risk-adjusted capitalization diminishes due to undertaking higher risks mainly in underwriting or investing. Positive rating actions could take place in the medium term if there is a positive trend in the company’s operating performance backed by stability in net results and quality of underwriting.
