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.

Skyward Specialty Launches New Industry-First Well Decommissioning Solution

HOUSTON, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc.™ (Nasdaq: SKWD) (“Skyward Specialty” or “the Company”), a leader in the specialty property and casualty (P&C) market, announced the launch of Skyward Specialty EndWell Protection, an industry-first well decommissioning solution built on an escrow-secured bond model.  

Recent disruptions in the energy sector have highlighted gaps in traditional surety solutions, leading to tightened collateral requirements and reduced market capacity. With many surety providers now limiting support to only investment-grade accounts, Skyward Specialty recognized a critical need for a more transparent and reliable approach to decommissioning bonds.

“EndWell Protection’s escrow model uses an innovative collateral strategy that simplifies qualification for surety credit and affords oil and gas companies a fast, efficient way to secure their bonds,” said Chris Gagnon, senior vice president, head of commercial Surety. “After a year of working with other industry experts on this model, we believe it is the future surety solution for this segment of the energy sector.”

“Skyward Specialty EndWell Protection is a unique, first-of-its-kind solution. Chris and his team strategically designed it to meet the market’s call for capacity while offering peace of mind to regulators and reinsurers,” said Matt Semeraro, president of Surety. “It’s also another example of us executing on our ‘Rule Our Niche’ strategy, which enables us to identify niche places in underserved markets and develop high-quality, specialized solutions to meet the unmet needs of our customers.”
