Global data cable, network and CCTV tester manufacturer IDEAL Networks has donated 26 testers to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 353 Education and Training department in Toronto to help support its education programmes.
The donation included VDV II cable verifiers, NaviTEK NT network troubleshooters, SignalTEK NT network transmission testers and SecuriTEST IP CCTV testers for use in Network Cabling Specialist (NCS) trade school and night school programs.
“We really appreciate the generous product donation, and the students who had an opportunity to be introduced to our partners at IDEAL Networks and see the products also expressed this firsthand,” says Susan Boorman, Director of Education and Training for IBEW Local 353.
The gifted testers were presented to IBEW 353’s Education Committee by Jim Hunter, Vice President Sales North America for IDEAL Networks, who also met a group of NCS Basic trade school students on his visit to its Toronto training center.
