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 Publishes Annual Review of Global Reinsurance Industry; Analysis Highlights Reinsurers’ Discipline in Transitioning Market

As reinsurance industry leaders prepare to gather in Monte Carlo for the annual Rendez-Vous de Septembre, AM Best’s latest research on the global industry highlights the segment’s strong technical results and disciplined underwriting amid a market recalibration since the January 2023 renewal period.

Now available in one comprehensive volume, featuring exclusive extra content, AM Best’s in-depth analysis of key segments and regional markets spotlights a shift in how risk is being priced, shared and retained across the reinsurance industry, and how this has translated into a second-straight year of solid results in 2024. Additionally, reinsurers have maintained their strong performance through the first half of 2025, despite global weather-related insured losses that will likely top USD 100 billion. At the same time, IFRS 17, which became effective on Jan. 1, 2023, has been adopted by many reinsurers, and this change continues to impact AM Best’s listing of the largest reinsurers, depending on the reporting standard used.

The report explores factors affecting different reinsurance market participants. Specific regional observations include:

  • Despite solid growth in recent years, the capacity offered by Africa-domiciled reinsurers remains insufficient to meet market demand; local players often rely on support from global reinsurers.
  • MENA reinsurers, which operate in difficult economic landscapes, continue to adapt pricing and modelling capabilities in response to elevated natural catastrophe losses in recent years.
  • Global reinsurers have shown renewed interest in the Latin America region; in particular, Brazil’s primary insurers have increased their interest in importing reinsurance.
  • Asia’s reinsurers are actively expanding to mature overseas markets as part of a move to diversify and to become more agile managing underwriting cycles.
  • The healthy interest rate environment, along with increased demand for longevity and mortality risk protection, has boosted the results of Europe’s “Big Four” reinsurers.
  • The data and analysis behind AM Best’s latest list of the 50 largest reinsurance groups.
