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.

Ryan Specialty Launches New Collateralized Reinsurance Vehicle to Support Its Delegated Underwriting

By: via Business Wire

Ryan Specialty (NYSE: RYAN) (“Ryan Specialty”), a leading international specialty insurance firm, is pleased to announce the formation of a new collateralized reinsurance vehicle, Ryan Alternative Capital Re, Ltd. (“RAC Re”), that will deliver additional capacity to Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers’ (“RSUM”) portfolio of syndicated delegated authority P&C insurance business. RSUM is the delegated authority underwriting division within Ryan Specialty.

This flagship sidecar will provide reinsurance capital on a risk-attaching basis over a multi-year period to further support the potential growth of RSUM’s delegated platform. RAC Re raised approximately $400 million in committed capital from funds managed by Flexpoint Ford, LLC (“Flexpoint”) and Sixth Street. RAC Re will provide RSUM with an anticipated $900 million in multi-year premium capacity and has been launched through a strategic trading relationship with global specialty (re)insurer AXIS Capital (NYSE: AXS). AXIS will support the transaction via its Lloyd’s of London syndicate 1686.

Commenting on this launch, Miles Wuller, CEO of RSUM, said, “We believe this sidecar’s unique scope makes it the first of its kind in the (re)insurance marketplace. RAC Re is a multi-year, multi-class P&C vehicle that provides capacity for specialty cat and non-cat property and casualty risks across our diverse, largely non-correlated portfolio of MGAs. This vehicle marks a significant opportunity for RSUM to accelerate solution delivery to the industry and rapidly respond to future market dislocation. We are excited to launch this opportunity in collaboration with AXIS and with the support of Flexpoint and Sixth Street, both exceptional insurance investors with long track records in the specialty ecosystem. AXIS has been a committed ally to the thought leadership and innovation that brought this transaction to life. Further, we appreciate Lloyd’s of London’s constructive support of AXIS, the transaction structure, and welcoming our entire syndicated portfolio to the London market.”

Daniel Draper, Group Chief Underwriting Officer of AXIS, added, “Through this collaboration, we are advancing our specialty leadership ambition while expanding our reach into highly targeted markets. We worked closely with Ryan Specialty to carefully select an attractive portfolio of specialty MGAs that fit our risk reward parameters and align with our delegated underwriting strategy and partnership criteria. This relationship reflects the progress AXIS had made in expanding our ability to drive profitable growth with our trading partners, delivered responsibly and sustainably, with established controls to ensure underwriting discipline and careful risk selection.”

Danny Arnett, Managing Director of RSUM Alternative Capital, remarked on the transaction, “We are pleased to launch this pioneering transaction that includes cat and casualty combined in a single ILS structure. This undertaking is a testament to the strength, quality, and diversity of the RSUM platform. We are proud to collaborate with AXIS, Flexpoint, and Sixth Street and expect that we will be able to replicate many times over this innovative capital solution now that we have successfully proven its viability as an executable transaction.”

Deutsche Bank Securities acted as the sole structuring and placement agent for this transaction. The transaction was led by Deutsche Bank’s FIG & Insurance Solutions business which structures and arranges capital and financing trades.

Sidley Austin LLP and Conyers, Dill and Pearman served as legal counsel to Ryan Specialty in the transaction. Mayer Brown LLP served as legal counsel to Flexpoint and Sixth Street.
