Kordz offers professional-grade connectivity products designed to optimize technology, provide ease and profitability, and meet evolving cabling requirements for integrators. The team of former integrators designs, engineers, and manufactures products for ease, profitability, and high performance, helping integrators meet diverse cabling requirements in residential and commercial environments.
The Termination Challenge Powered by Kordz is a hands-on competition where systems integrators compete to terminate cabling quickly and accurately. It aims to showcase the advantages of high-quality connectivity solutions and allow integrators to experience firsthand the impact of small differences in cabling design on installation success.
The challenge provides an interactive and competitive way for systems integrators to improve their termination skills and understand the benefits of next-generation connectivity solutions. It adds excitement and engagement to industry events like CEDIA Tech + Business Summits, offering attendees a chance to learn through practical experience and potentially win prizes. Additionally, it reinforces the concept of “Kordzification,” highlighting how Kordz’s products can enhance reliability, efficiency, and profitability in cabling installations.
Kordz believes the best way to understand the installation and performance advantages of next-generation, high-quality connectivity solutions is by experiencing them first-hand. They also know that the faster and more reliably cabling can be deployed, the more profitable systems integrators’ projects can be. To give more systems integrators a chance to compete for prizes and bragging rights in a lively beat-the-clock format, as well as uplevel their termination skills and see for themselves how small differences in cabling design can make a big impact on their installations’ success, Kordz is expanding its program and hosting its popular Termination Challenge Powered by Kordz at CEDIA Tech + Business Summits around the globe for the remainder of 2024.
“We committed this year to reinventing the CEDIA Tech + Business Summits and beyond increased education, one of the key needs was finding ways to include hands-on content that challenged our attendees while also respecting the fact that these are compressed, one-day events,” says Jonathan Toomey, CEDIA director of conference strategy. “The Termination Challenge Powered by Kordz is the perfect fit—interactive, easy to understand, a great refresher for industry vets, and an opportunity to have some fun.”
In collaboration with CEDIA and its U.S. distributor, Future Ready Solutions, Kordz kicked-off the event series earlier this year at the Orange County and Los Angeles CEDIA Tech + Business Summits. They were met with resounding success. “Systems integrators are competitive by nature, so they are thrilled to put their cabling termination skills to the test and try to best their fellow integrators,” says Kordz managing director, James Chen. “Being able to engage with products, rather than simply look at them, also brings a level of excitement to the summits. Most of all, through hands-on experience in the competition, systems integrators learn that small but significant differentiating features in the design, construction and manufacture of our connectivity solutions – something we call ‘Kordzification’ – can dramatically enhance the reliability, efficiency and profitability of their cabling installations.”
The Kordz Termination Challenge was first introduced to the systems integration industry at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2023. It has since become a staple of Kordz’ trade show exhibits.
Upcoming Termination Challenges Powered by Kordz are scheduled for the following CEDIA Tech + Business Summits in 2024 plus the CEDIA Expo. There is no need to register; attendees can compete at any time during the event.
