We're wrapping up what has been, by all accounts, an awesome BICSI show. I hope this blog and its unique reporting provided some insight for those who couldn't attend. From what I've seen, 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for our industry. *-Brian Brown * **Final Day At Winter BICSI 2010** *From Stephen Chew:*  The BICSI Winter 2010 show ended with a 2 hour finale on Wednesday. Two hours isn't much time to hit the exhibits but I was able to come across a few interesting ones. OCC had on display there latest offering to eliminate in-building [cell phone dead zones](http://www.occfiber.com/x_upload/news/files/1254275174_More_Bars_CDS_Story_0909.pdf).  ![occ, accu-tech](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15563860-jpg/images/occ00625.jpg)   Leviton's big 20x20 exhibit extensively showcased their infrastructure solutions, including their Connected Home products, which included the flexible SlimLine patch cord.

Eddie, Steven, and Mike were busy explaining the security benefits of the [shielded solution](http://www.hcm.hitachi.com/press_releases/shielded-cables.shtml) ![hitachi, accu-tech](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15395328-jpg/images/hitachi00637.jpg)    With Accu-Tech digging into the world of Outside Plant, I was excited to visit the 18 wheeler trailer that was tricked out with [ADC solutions](http://www.adc.com/us/en/productsandservices/fttx/). ![adc, accu-tech](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-14571582-jpg/images/adc00633.jpg)    Kevin Dorminy, a long time friend of Accu-Tech, spent the show explaining why Hoffman is an industry leader in metal enclosures. Pictured is Kevin along side the [AccessPlus II double hinged enclosure](http://www.hoffmanonline.com/product_catalog/product_detail.aspx?cat_1=34&cat_2=2410&cat_3=69133&catID=69133&itemID=174139). ![hoffman, accu-tech](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/file-15400708-jpg/images/hoffmani00640.jpg)    My last stop at the show was industry innovator Specified Technologies Inc., or as they are more commonly called, STI Firestop. These guys always have a story to tell and provide a product that both enhances your bottom line and adds to the overall safety of people and buildings. Their latest offering which hits the market soon, is the Ready Firestop Grommet, a single cable penetration that eliminates sleeves, sealant & putty.
