CooperCraft Employee Wins National Cabling Challenge for Second Consecutive Year





Lee Renfroe of CooperCraft Communications recently attended the 2013 BICSI Winter Conference and Exhibition in Tampa, Florida. The conference offered seminars over a four day period that discussed emerging technologies as well as government and industry standard updates. Lee attended sessions over data center efficiency, cabling challenges in healthcare facilities, wireless, and the future of fiber. “It is great to work for an organization like CooperCraft. They support their employees and give us the training we need to be successful.  In the end, it’s all about doing the best job we can for our customers,” said Renfroe. During part of the conference, Lee participated in the Cabling Skills Challenge Competition. The competition covered all aspects of an installer’s job including copper cable installation and termination, fiber termination, fiber splicing, troubleshooting/technical support skills, and a written test. Lee competed against 16 individuals from around the country and one from Japan. For the second year in a row, Lee was crowned as “BICSI Installer of the Year” and brought home a $5,000 cash prize. Congratulations, Lee!
