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 Special Report: U.S. Property/Casualty Industry Records $11.2 Billion in Underwriting Income in First-Half 2025

The U.S. property/casualty (P/C) industry recorded $11.2 billion in net underwriting income in the first half of 2025, a significant improvement from the $2.9 billion posted in the same prior-year period, according to a new AM Best report.

These preliminary results are detailed in a new Best’s Special Report, titled, “First Look: Six-Month 2025 US Property/Casualty Financial Results,” and the data is derived from companies’ six-month 2025 interim period statutory statements that were received as of Aug. 26, accounting for an estimated 96% of total industry net premiums written.

According to the report, the P/C industry’s combined ratio improved to 96.4 in first-half 2025 from 97.8 in the same period of 2024. AM Best estimates that catastrophe losses accounted for 10.9 percentage points on the six-month 2025 combined ratio, up from an estimated 8.8 points in the previous year.

Growth of 7.5% in net earned premiums in the six-month period offset increases in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), is largely attributable to the January 2025 California wildfires, and other underwriting expenses. An increase in net investment income aided the underwriting gain, boosting pre-tax operating income by nearly 25%. However, a substantial reduction in net realized capital gains, driven primarily by a $47.5 billion decline at National Indemnity Company, contributed to the industry’s net income being cut nearly in half from the same prior-year period to $50.3 billion.
