Prepare to be enlightened and entertained as Henry Franc, a master of the cabling universe and chair of the TIA TR-42 Engineering Standards Committee, joins us for a lively exchange on the often contentious world of cable combing. Whether you’re a staunch Velcro supporter or a tie wrap aficionado, Henry’s anecdotes and insights promise to add spark to the old debate. From trade talk to laughter, we bridge the gap between the nitty-gritty of installations and the stories that color our industry, reminding everyone that your voice and expertise matter in shaping the connectivity landscape.

Cable myths? Debunked. Best practices? Demystified. As we steer through the complexities of cable installation, we’ll clear up common misconceptions that even seasoned pros might believe. Discover how attention to detail is not just about workmanship but also speaks volumes to customers who don’t mind paying for top-notch reliability. You’ll also get a sneak peek into the technical trenches, where we dismantle fears about Power over Ethernet and dissect real-world applications that assure the integrity of our data highways.

Join us on a journey from past to present, reminiscing about the days of Cat5 and the leap to Cat6A, and how these evolutions in standards have impacted the field. Henry’s stories from the trenches bring to life the need for practical standards that resonate with the hands-on experience of technicians. So, unravel the mysteries of cable management with us, and learn why sometimes, the best insights come from those who’ve been in the pathways, conduits, and telecom rooms themselves.
