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.

First Chicago Insurance Company Enhances Commercial Auto Underwriting with New Verisk Solution

By: via GlobeNewswire

Jersey City, N.J., June 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Chicago Insurance Company (FCIC), a proud member of the Warrior Insurance Network (WIN), is refining its commercial auto underwriting with robust vehicle data from Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics and technology provider.

The insurer is leveraging Verisk’s new commercial lines (CL) VIN Decode solution to gain a more robust understanding of risk unique to commercial and specialized vehicles. With an individual Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the solution delivers information on more than 50 detailed vehicle attributes, such as year, make, model, weight, engine, and transmission, seamlessly into First Chicago’s underwriting workflow.

“Commercial vehicles come in many different shapes and sizes, and their unique attributes can have a significant impact on their risk profiles,” Mark Bissonette, Vice President, Commercial Lines Underwriting, FCIC. “Verisk’s detailed data and automation capabilities are enabling us to evaluate and price with greater precision and deliver a more streamlined customer experience.”

Verisk’s CL VIN Decode information is continually updated with new data on a range of commercial vehicles, including traditional private passenger types, light duty to extra-heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and specialty vehicles. This information can be used in conjunction with ISO’s Commercial Auto Classification Plan. Verisk surfaces critical components to help rate policies more precisely including vehicle age, gross vehicle weight, and vehicle value.

“Achieving profitability in the commercial auto market has been a challenge for many insurers in the past decade, and we’re committed to creating solutions that help clients overcome those challenges,” said Joe Wodark, vice president of auto underwriting solutions at Verisk. “By plugging into our new CL VIN Decode solution, First Chicago will be able to get the latest data on the rapidly evolving world of commercial vehicles, and gain insights that can have a significant impact on their book of business.”
