“This year’s opening session, and Cable-Tec Expo as a whole, will demonstrate the awesome future of advanced connectivity and honor the resiliency and excellence demonstrated by the cable industry as our critical role became front and center during the pandemic,” said Dzuban. “The work of Expos past prepared us for today’s challenges, and during this year’s event we will build on the knowledge sharing and innovation of the past to prepare for a future that will be transformed by connectivity.”
“Connectivity is the foundation for services and applications that can change — and save — lives,” he added. “The pandemic underscored the critical nature of our work and tested and validated cable’s resiliency... We are excited to come together virtually in October to build on this momentum.”
