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.

Assurant and Evident Deliver Industry-First End-to-End Risk Protection for Commercial Equipment Rental Industry

Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ), a premier global protection company that safeguards and services connected devices, homes and automobiles in partnership with the world’s leading brands, today announced a strategic partnership with Evident, the leading provider of AI-powered rental insurance verification solutions. Together, these companies are introducing the commercial equipment rental industry’s first end-to-end risk management solution, combining world-class automation with proven protection.

This joint offering enables rental companies and dealers to instantly verify insurance coverage, flag non-compliant policies before equipment leaves the yard, and seamlessly enroll uninsured or underinsured renters in Assurant-backed protection programs.

“We’re proud to team up with Evident to offer rental companies and their customers a smarter, streamlined path to risk protection, while unlocking new revenue opportunities for dealers,” said Mike Medeiros, vice president of commercial equipment at Assurant. “Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for best-in-class equipment rental risk management.”

“This is more than a partnership – it’s two category leaders coming together to solve the industry’s biggest risk exposure in a smarter, more profitable way,” said Justin Leslie, head of sales at Evident.

A Complete Solution for Rental Risk

Industries like construction, forestry/logging, and agriculture face significant exposure when equipment leaves the lot without verified insurance coverage. This partnership delivers a streamlined workflow that includes:

  • Automated insurance verification
  • Real-time flags for non-compliant or expired Certificates of Insurance
  • Instant eligibility for Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) coverage via Assurant
  • A simplified opt-in process at point-of-rental

Partnership That Protects Customers and Drives Profitability

When renters lack valid insurance, LDW coverage can be offered instantly, enhancing customer protection while generating additional revenue for dealers and manufacturers. The integrated workflow reduces friction for staff and delivers a faster, more secure rental experience.

Assurant brings more 35 years of experience supporting the industries that keep our world turning, with a suite of protection products tailored for heavy equipment, trucks, and commercial vehicles. Assurant’s services include extended service contracts, physical damage insurance, guaranteed asset protection, lessor’s liability, and more.

“As the leading insurance tracking provider for both commercial and consumer portfolios, this partnership expands our suite of tracking solutions to span leased, financed, and rental equipment,” added Medeiros. “It also enables us to deliver niche protection products designed for B2B partnerships.”

Evident’s automated verification platform ensures that LDW protection offerings are deployed intelligently when renters lack coverage, policies are expired, or equipment is especially high-value or high-risk.

“This is about more than efficiency,” added Leslie. “It’s about delivering confidence and coverage where it matters most.”
