A seminar hosted online by Interconnection World's sister website Cabling Installation & Maintenance will discuss the perils of buying and using noncompliant cable from several perspectives. The seminar will be held live on February 1 and sponsored by the Communications Cable and Connectivity Association, Underwriters Laboratories, and the law firm of Crowell & Moring. A representative of each of those organizations will make a presentation covering some aspect of non-compliant cable.
Todd Harpel, representing the CCCA, will present the findings of a series of tests that the CCCA commissioned on cable samples purchased through various channels in the U.S. Cabling Installation & Maintenance has covered some of these tests in the past, and in this presentation, Harpel will detail what the test results indicate. Then, attorney Natalia R. Medley of Crowell & Moring will present a legal analysis of the potential liabilities that contractors and cabling installers could face if they install non-compliant cable. UL's Steven Galan will make the final presentation, delivering information about the labeling and marks to look for on cable products in order to evaluate whether or not a cable is a non-compliance suspect.
After its live presentation on February 1, the seminar will be available on-demand for six months. Individuals who attend the seminar in its entirety, either live or on-demand, can earn one continuing education credit for the following professional designations offered by BICSI: RCDD, RITP, Installer 2, Technician and Certified Trainer.
