About Us

About the CCCA

CCCA is a non-profit corporation, started in June 2007 when a small group of executives from leading cable & connectivity manufacturers, a leading distributor and a material supplier met to explore ways to address communication network performance issues caused by non-compliant and counterfeit structured cabling components as well as identify potential threats to public safety these components may represent.

CCCA was formed on the principle that the industry could be served and strengthened by leveraging the efforts of individual leading firms into a single “voice” and mission that would benefit the structured cabling community and its supply chain. Today, the association’s backbone is an active Board of Directors and working committees that manage the association, execute our mission and provide a platform for member benefits and initiatives.

Mission Statement

CCCA is a major resource for well researched, fact-based information and education on the important issues, technologies and structured cabling products impacting the current and future needs of the building network and cabling infrastructure. CCCA is proactive in supporting and participating in codes and standards bodies and other trade, industry and safety organizations, which affect the quality, performance and societal needs of the structured cabling infrastructure.
