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.

IGP Specialty Launches, Uniting U.S. Risk and Safehold Special Risk Under a Bold New Brand

By: via GlobeNewswire

ATLANTA, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Risk, a national specialty lines underwriting manager and wholesale broker, and Safehold Special Risk, a leading national program administrator, today announced that they are combining business operations under a new unified brand, Innovation Growth Partners Specialty, LLC (IGP Specialty).

The new name, Innovation Growth Partners Specialty, reflects the company’s mission to drive innovation, empower growth and strengthen partnerships across the specialty insurance ecosystem. Together, the combined organization will deliver enhanced value to agents, carriers and clients through innovative solutions, tailored programs and deep industry expertise.

With a combined legacy of more than 40 years, a robust portfolio of over 30 specialty programs and national wholesale and contract binding capabilities, IGP Specialty is setting a new standard for performance and partnership in the specialty insurance market.

The name Innovation Growth Partners reflects the company’s brand promise to elevate specialty insurance through innovation, growth and partnership at every level of the business. 

  • Innovation – Delivering access to a robust portfolio of cutting-edge programs, exclusive coverages and creative solutions that evolve with market needs – backed by decades of specialized expertise.
  • Growth – Helping agents grow their books – and their clients grow their businesses – by delivering smarter risk solutions that enable them to reinvest savings back into their enterprise.
  • Partners – Building trusted, long-term relationships with carriers, clients and agents through collaboration and shared success.

IGP Specialty’s tagline, “Specialty Insurance Elevated,” underscores this commitment to raising the standard for specialty insurance through innovation, service and partnership.

“For us, this rebrand is far more than a name change – it’s a strategic evolution that centers on innovation, growth and our partners,” said John Paulk III, president of programs for IGP Specialty. “By harnessing the collective power of our teams, programs and market relationships, we’re delivering even more creative and tailored solutions for our partners across the country.”

Our wholesale and contract binding capabilities enable flexible and creative placement strategies for complex and hard-to-place risks.”

IGP Specialty’s structure brings together two powerful business engines under one umbrella: its specialty programs division, offering more than 30 niche programs for industries such as staffing, community associations, marinas, sports and entertainment and many more; and its wholesale and contract binding division, providing creative placement options for non-admitted and complex risks nationwide.
