Cable Ferret, the multi-award winning New Zealand electronic design and manufacturing company was recently recognised as a leader and innovator to the largest collection of structured cabling professionals in the world by being honoured with the top award, a Platinum award, for their ground breaking inspection and cabling innovation tool – the Ferret WiFi. 

The 2019 Cabling Installation and Maintenance Platinum Innovators Award was presented to Andrew Wigney the President and Innovator of the Ferret and Therese McNaughten the VP of Marketing and Brand Strategy at the BISCI (Building Industry Consulting Service International) 2019 Fall Conference at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. BICSI provides information, education and knowledge assessment for individuals and companies in the ITS industry.

The Ferret WiFi is the world’s first combination compact wireless inspection camera and cable pulling tool. With a built in WiFi hotspot and adjustable bright LEDs the Ferret WiFi has been purpose designed to provide faster close up visual inspections and faster cable pulling in dark confined and out of reach places for electricians, home inspectors, cabling and installation professionals, plumbers, builders, DIY and other trades.

“The team are thrilled as this is the second award we have been honoured with this year,” says McNaughten. “The other was the EC&M (Electrical Contractor and Maintenance) Product of the Year in Speciality tools.”
