Background and History

Rooted in Service. Driven by Ownership.

Since 1985, CC&N has built its reputation on exceptional craftsmanship, technical expertise, reliable delivery, and responsive customer care. What began as a Wisconsin-based provider of structured cabling, fiber, and wireless network solutions has grown into a trusted partner supporting low-voltage infrastructure, connectivity, and technology environments for organizations of all sizes. While we continue to innovate and expand our capabilities, we remain grounded in the values that shaped our foundation: taking care of customers, delivering quality work, and building long-term relationships.

As a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP), our culture of shared ownership is what sets us apart. Every employee has a vested interest in the success of our customers and our company, creating a team that is personally invested in doing the job right. With offices across Wisconsin, a fleet of 75 service vehicles, and approximately 100 field technicians, CC&N delivers both project and ongoing service support for local, regional, national, and global organizations — always with an ownership mindset and commitment to customer success.
