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: US-Bermuda Reinsurers’ 2024 Remains Strong Despite Pricing Pressure

A composite of AM Best-rated U.S. and Bermuda reinsurers continued its trend of favorable underwriting results in 2024 while generating its fourth consecutive year of underwriting profitability, according to a new AM Best report.

The Best’s Market Segment Report, “US-Bermuda Reinsurers Poised To Sustain Solid Performance Despite Pricing Pressure,” is part of AM Best’s look at the global reinsurance industry ahead of the Rendez-Vous de Septembre in Monte Carlo. Other reports, including AM Best’s ranking of the top global reinsurance groups and in-depth looks at the insurance-linked securities, Lloyd’s, life/annuity, health and regional reinsurance markets, have been published in August and September.

AM Best’s composite of U.S. and Bermuda reinsurers consists of seven reinsurance groups domiciled in either the United States or Bermuda, for which the reinsurance business accounts for the majority of their underwriting portfolios. The seven companies are Arch Capital Group Ltd.; Everest Group, Ltd.; General Re Corporation; Odyssey Group Holdings, Inc.; PartnerRe Ltd.; RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.; and Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic).

Overall profitability among this composite declined in 2024 compared with stellar results posted in 2023, when it generated the strongest underwriting margins in years. Peak underwriting results in 2023 were further supplemented by higher net investment income, as well as significant realized and unrealized investment gains and the positive impact of the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023.

The composite’s total net premiums written (NPW) grew 13.2% in 2024, up from 5.3% in 2023, when aggregate NPW growth for the companies was reduced by significantly higher reinsurance cessions from Transatlantic to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. affiliates. While the 2024 combined ratio of 89.5 represented a 4.4-point deterioration over the prior year, this underwriting margin still represents a substantial improvement over levels reported for several years preceding 2023.
