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.

Bishop Street Underwriters, Announces Joint Venture with Skyward Specialty Insurance

NEW YORK and HOUSTON, Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bishop Street Underwriters (“Bishop Street”), a multi-boutique insurance platform owned by RedBird Capital Partners (“RedBird”), today announced a strategic joint venture with Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc.™ (Nasdaq: SKWD) ("Skyward Specialty"), a leader in the specialty property and casualty (P&C) market.

Bishop Street is a value-additive acquirer and program incubator, marrying an MGA’s established brand equity with best-in-class capabilities, capital, and resources to build a powerful growth platform. With several deals completed and several more expected to close this year, Bishop Street is partnering with entrepreneurs, operators, and underwriters across specialty P&C markets.

The joint venture will accelerate Bishop Street’s ability to strengthen MGAs and support existing program expansion, new product and program launches, and underwriting team lift-outs with preferred Admitted and E&S capacity.

Bishop Street’s data-driven, tech-enabled decision making and value creation capabilities, combined with Skyward Specialty’s robust underwriting expertise, distinctive advanced technology and analytics capabilities, primary insurance capacity and financial strength, will further enable Bishop Street to address the unique needs of its MGA businesses and entrepreneurial underwriters looking for a turnkey platform.

The joint venture with Skyward Specialty complements Bishop Street’s joint venture with Topsail Reinsurance, a market leading reinsurer, announced earlier this year. Both strategic relationships bring complementary underwriting techniques and robust market expertise, which support Bishop Street’s continued growth and ability to leverage capacity as a strategic asset for platform partners.

“Establishing this partnership with a rapidly growing leader like Skyward Specialty is an important milestone for Bishop Street. As we continue to grow our platform, our ability to provide preferred primary insurance capacity sets us apart as a key differentiator both for existing and future MGA partners,” said Chad Weber, President of Bishop Street.

“Our focus is on building a connected ecosystem of diversified MGAs, each with best-in-class underwriting, supported by data-driven infrastructure, unique access to capacity and distribution. The complementary expertise of our partners solidifies Bishop Street as the preferred home for diverse specialty MGAs in the industry,” added Chad Levine, CEO of Bishop Street.

Andrew Robinson, Chairman and CEO of Skyward Specialty, said, “Our decision to partner with Chad, Bishop Street and the RedBird team is a direct result of our shared view and commitment to delivering innovative and tailored insurance solutions to the specialized needs of the customers we seek to serve. This is the core of our “Rule Our Niche” strategy, and this joint venture extends that capability with the impressive roster of MGAs already part of the Bishop Street portfolio, as well as the future markets Bishop Street is targeting.”

Robinson further commented “Over the past few years, we have developed a strong relationship with RedBird and we believe that Bishop Street has a terrific financial backer with an impressive track record in insurance. RedBird’s backing further strengthens this partnership we are putting into place.”
