Watertown, CT (PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- Siemon, a leading global network infrastructure specialist, today announces the launch of a new online contest: The Z-MAX Termination Challenge. This contest challenges cabling contractors to test their skills against fellow cabling pros to see who can perform the fastest termination using Siemon’s innovative Z-MAX RJ-45 outlet. And, with available prizes of $1000, $500 and $250 for the top three fastest times, the Z-MAX Termination Challenge offers more than bragging rights.
Contest entry is easy. Contractors simply need to record a smart-phone video of their fastest Z-MAX termination and email it to challenge(at)siemon(dot)com. Full contest details, rules, video recording and email instructions are posted at: http://www.siemon.com/zmaxchallenge.
While at http://www.siemon.com/zmaxchallenge, contractors can also request a free Z-MAX Termination Challenge kit, which includes everything needed to practice a few Z-MAX terminations before recording what could be a $1000 video.
Siemon’s Channel Marketing Manager, Brian Duval, described the history behind the Z-MAX Termination Challenge. “We designed Z-MAX to be the fastest terminating category 6 and 6A outlets on the market and since we first launched Z-MAX in 2009, our contractors have been reporting increasingly impressive termination times” Duval explained. “Then, a few months back, Brandon Beckman, a Siemon Certified Installer with i2 Solutions in Naples, FL, posted a Z-MAX termination time that made our jaws drop.”
Actual footage of Brandon’s record-breaking time is posted at http://www.siemon.com/zmaxchallenge and can be seen at the conclusion of the brief Z-MAX Termination Challenge overview video.
“We originally billed Z-MAX 6A as a 60-second termination, but seeing Brandon in action makes it clear that techs in the field may be significantly quicker than that,” Duval added. “So we developed the Z-MAX Termination Challenge to see just how fast Z-MAX can be in the hands of cabling installation pros, and reward the best with some great prizes. While you don’t have to beat Brandon to win the money, anyone who does claims serious bragging rights.”
The Z-MAX Termination Challenge is open to cabling contractors only and ends on September 30, 2013. Please visit http://www.siemon.com/zmaxchallenge for details.
