February 11, 2013 – The Communications Cable and Connectivity Association (CCCA) has welcomed The Siemon Company—a player in copper and fiber networking solutions—as a new member.

“We view CCCA as a strong industry association and an excellent platform for Siemon, and other members, to address issues important to the structured cabling industry,” said Siemon’s Bob Carlson, VP global marketing.

Concurrent with Siemon joining, CCCA says a new Data Center Committee has been formed to “leverage the knowledge and expertise of its member companies” by providing more education on “structured cabling benefits specific to design options that provide greater flexibility, interoperability and can save significant cost and energy in the data centre”. Carlson has volunteered to chair this new committee.

CCCA’s membership consists of manufacturers, distributors and material suppliers involved in the structured cabling industry.
