The Siemon Company Announces Its New Seminar Series

Watertown, CT — The Siemon Company, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of telecommunications connecting hardware and premise cabling systems, proudly announces its new seminar series. These educational seminars provide invaluable information on the most recent advances in network cabling standards -- including testing, installation, and performance specifications.

"Siemon’s most popular seminar, “Next Generation Cabling: Standards Update” has been revised to reflect the most recent TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards changes, including an essential update on the category 6 standard. In addition, Siemon has added a new seminar dedicated exclusively to fiber cabling entitled “Advanced Fiber Optic Solutions.” This fiber optic seminar covers backbone and horizontal cabling topologies, transmission principles, and connector options. Both half-day seminars will be presented in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States and selected international locations.

"The Siemon Company has a long-standing reputation as a leader in the structured cabling industry. Siemon staff takes a leadership role in many TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards committees. Information gathered during the course of their standards work is used as the foundation for these training programs. In fact, the educational merit of these seminars has been recognized by BICSI, which awards two Continuing Education Credits for each seminar.
