New York City Contractor Encounters Counterfeit Cable

The widespread proliferation of counterfeit and non-compliant cable in the information and communications technologies (ICT) industry is illustrated in CCCA's latest case study of a New York City contractor's encounter.

The three most common tactics used by counterfeiters are described on the CCCA website. In this case study, two out of those three tactics were used.

Congratulations CableCheck Game Winner!

Thomas Spellman, Instructor

JATC Local 103 IBEW, Dorchester, MA

Thanks to all of you who played the CableCheck game - to learn or confirm your knowledge about fire safety and counterfeit cabling products.

Tom was the lucky winner of the GoPro camera in a random drawing from all who played through emails, the CCCA website and in person at BICSI in Orlando.

At JATC, they teach structured cabling to electricians and telecommunication technicians. Maybe Tom will use the GoPro to send us a video from one of the classes.
