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.

Fifth Third Expands Free Digital Financial Education Programs for Students

Proprietary Fifth Third Bank Finance Academy ® now available to junior high students

As students head back to school this fall to learn reading, writing and arithmetic, Fifth Third is expanding access to its award-winning Fifth Third Bank Finance Academy® financial literacy educational program.

Originally launched for high school students, Fifth Third Bank Finance Academy® is now available to junior high students with an updated and expanded curriculum this year. For elementary students, the popular Fifth Third Young Bankers Club® is returning for its 20th year.

For more than 20 years, Fifth Third has offered free financial education programs to help elementary and high school students learn the basics of budgeting, banking, borrowing, saving, investing, entrepreneurship and more.

“At Fifth Third, we are committed to increasing financial access and stability for all of the individuals and communities we serve,” said Aleta Young, corporate social responsibility strategies director for Fifth Third. “Our Finance Academy program has seen significant success with high school students, inspiring us to expand and enhance our offerings to junior high and create a continuum of learning for students.”

Tens of thousands of students across the U.S. have participated over the life of both programs, and pre- and post-testing shows improved financial literacy upon completion of the programs. Finance Academy and Young Bankers Club® are offered at no charge to schools and community organizations across Fifth Third’s 11-state footprint.

Fifth Third Bank Finance Academy includes curricula in personal finance and entrepreneurship across 3 courses and more than 11 interactive, self-paced episodes that teach high school and junior high students how to earn income, manage credit and invest for their future. The programs teach finance in an award-winning and fun way, by engaging teens with games, humor, immersive storylines, and rich media.

“We also revamped Finance Academy this year to provide a more personalized experience to the student,” Young said. “We’ve introduced new characters, added a more hands-on approach and designed it so it can easily scale to reach more students.”

Fifth Third Young Bankers Club uses gamification to help teach fourth, fifth and sixth grade students about budgeting, banking, borrowing money, saving, investing and more. To progress through the game, students play alongside main character Maximillion Money® to solve real-world problems using their financial know-how. Along the way, they go on virtual field trips to visit famous financial sites, like the US Mint, the Federal Reserve Bank, Ft. Knox, the US Treasury, and more.

Fifth Third’s free, digital financial education programs include:

  • Fifth Third Young Bankers Club (YBC): An engaging, online financial education program that teaches students math and life skills with the help of Maximillion Money. The program meets Common Core and Jump$tart national education standards. For fourth- to sixth-grade students; spans up to eight weeks depending upon grade level.
