At its winter 2013 board meeting, the Communications Cable and Connectivity Association (CCCA) board of directors confirmed and welcomed The Siemon Company as its newest member. Bill Kloss, CCCA's board chairman, commented, "We at CCCA are thrilled that Siemon has chosen to add its voice to ours and become a member. Siemon’s brand recognition and well-established reputation for quality fits perfectly with our membership goals and mission.”
Concurrent with Siemon joining the CCCA, the association announced formation of its new Data Center Committee. The mandate of the new committee is to leverage the knowledge and expertise of CCCA member companies by providing more education on structured cabling benefits specific to certain data center design options. The CCCA's hope is that such options may provide greater flexibility and interoperability, and save significant cost and energy in the data center.
Siemon’s Bob Carlson, the company's vice president of global marketing, has volunteered to chair the new committee.
