Welcome to the 1st Edition of the CCCA Newsletter!
The primary mission of the CCCA is to provide vital, fact-based education and information for structured cabling professionals to stay abreast of key issues and topics affecting our industry. This newsletter is one way we'll keep you informed. While we'll have much to say about CCCA activities, the newsletter won't be limited to CCCA only. We'll also strive to cover the latest industry news and direct you to valuable resources.
2011 was another noteworthy year for the CCCA and our reputation as an important structured cabling resource continues to grow. We added more top manufacturers and distributors to our membership roster who, like all CCCA members and many of our supporters, are committed to preserving an industry focused on quality and integrity.
