Cable-Tec Games


Local Cable-Tec Games, typically held during chapter vendor shows or regional cable shows, provide an arena for contestants to compete in events that measure their technical abilities, such as cable splicing and meter reading, and demonstrate their knowledge, such as cable jeopardy. Each year, first-place winners of the local competitions are recognized for their achievements as they gather to compete on an international level during SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo®. Learn more about upcoming events near you by searching the SCTE•ISBE Event Calendar.

Top winners place first, second and third overall. Click to see who holds the high score record in each event.
