| Brian Russell’s involvement
with low-voltage cabling began in the late 1970’s when
working as an electrician while studying Electrical
Engineering at the University of Virginia.
Relocating to South Florida in 1981, Mr. Russell worked as a
computer technician, interfacing micro-computers with printers and other
often incompatible peripheral
devices. At that time, each manufacturer of
micros and main-frames used their own proprietary
system. This experience led to the Senior Engineering position at a custom
cable-assembly plant, where he designed and prototyped
every style of data cable currently in use throughout
the industry.
Brian co-founded
Computer Input in 1986 to provide data and voice
cabling installations. At that time, structured cabling and PC
networks were in their infancy, with many components
custom-made. In fact, low-voltage cabling was not even recognized as a
separate electrical trade until several years later,
with Brian then obtaining one of the first specialty
communication licenses in the state.
