MISSISSAUGA – Tuesday morning’s topic was plant powering. About what works best and most efficiently – and how to work safely.
The afternoon was concentrated on trying to put a little white ball into a slightly larger white hole – otherwise known as golf.
The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers Ontario chapter’s annual golf tournament is growing in popularity and this year 148 members came to Mississauga’s Lionhead Golf Course for the event on July 25th.
Rogers Cable’s Vasile Jerca was first to speak on HFC outside plant powering. Thomas Humphrey of APC’s topic was about essential power requirements for next generation headends and Ewan Crawford of WaveStar Networks presented some graphic examples of how important safety is when working with power inside a cable plant.
The golf tourney featured a sold out slate of sponsors (including Hole #15 sponsor Cartt.ca) and a huge prize table thanks to those sponsors and to the SCTE committee organizers who worked diligently to pull off a great event.
Below are a few photos from the event, courtesy of Bruce Marshall, of Mountain Cablevision and SCTE Ontario Chapter Treasurer.
