CAP-AMERICA - Key Persons

Giovanni Pugliese has two grown children, but the Cap connector is his baby. About 25 years ago, the Italian engineer came up with an innovative and useful concept for attaching connectors to coaxial cable. He split the cable's jacket to make the connector work like a finger puzzle - the harder you pull, the tighter it grabs. He patented the system, and a new product was born. In 2011, Giovanni reached out to American Howard Kohnstamm, then head of VIT Training, to see if he would be interested in an unusual kind of connector. A friendship was formed.
