CCI started in Cape Town in 1986, at a time when the development of LAN's began to make their impact on commerce in South Africa.

It was this growing interest and demand that prompted Gerald Lea and Steve Pinkney to start a company that specialised in data cabling and connectivity.

CCI is staffed by a group of technicians, trained to be receptive to the rapidly evolving technologies endemic to the computer industry. This culture of receptiveness, has been the catalyst for CCI's growth and its pre-eminence in the data cabling industry.
