TWiRT 324 - REVConnect with Steve Lampen

The best computer networks and IT infrastructure are too often brought down by … badly-installed connectors. What a shame!  Steve Lampen is with us to show how Belden has a solution.  It’s called REVConnect and I think engineers and IT pros should be rejoicing!  Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack welcome Steve Lampen on this episode of TWiRT.
