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: Latin American Reinsurers Reposition as Demand Strengthens

Although insurance penetration in Latin America remains low, the demand for reinsurance capacity is strengthening owing to a wide variety of natural perils.

The Best’s Market Segment Report, “Latin American Reinsurers Reposition as Demand Strengthens,” states that insured natural catastrophe losses amounted to USD 11.6 billion in 2024; however, just USD 1.5 billion were insured as insurance penetration remains very low. Global reinsurers have rekindled their interest in the region. At the same time, local participants aim to continue growing while strengthening their brands, taking advantage of the spaces created by the past hard market.

“While catastrophe-exposed lines involve more complex negotiations, especially in countries with major exposure such as Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru and Chile, pricing has been very competitive, with conditions flexible overall,” said Inger Rodriguez, financial analyst, AM Best.

Although Brazil’s primary insurance industry is more profitable than its reinsurance industry, the country’s leading insurer is dedicated exclusively to reinsurance. However, the report notes that the company has begun to reduce its underwriting volume by carefully selecting its risks, and consequently, has provided other players in the market an opportunity to diversify the risks among different companies.

“Although the volume of reinsurance accepted by Brazil’s reinsurers has grown, the share of Brazil’s reinsurers among the total premium ceded by local insurers has decreased, indicating that local insurers are ceding significantly more to reinsurers offshore,” said Ricardo Rodriguez Perez, senior financial analyst, AM Best.
