My boss's requirements are that it must be an "A" word and must be professional sounding. Our best guesses so far are "Advance Cabling" and "Action Cabling" Copy Link to Clipboard Re: Need an "A" Word #18624 02/08/2001 2:49 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 771 Portland, Oregon Fiberbabe old hand Fiberbabe old hand Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 771 Portland, Oregon Alpha?

Seriously, how about good ol' Acme Cabling? Then there's Apex Cabling, Advantage Cabling, All-___ Cabling (depending on your what you wnt to say about your product, ie: All-Weather Cabling, All-Access Cabling)...

Dispensing with the requirement to start with "A" (oh, and the professional bit!) opens up the options Communi Cable or Impec Cable or (dare I suggest them?) Despi Cable, Impracti Cable, Irrevo Cable and Inextri Cable.

Aesthetic Cabling? Artistic - ? Architectural - ? Aristitolean - ? I mean Aristotelean added later No? OK, then, let's see - [deepthought icon, based on Rodin's sculpture] If you wish to fit into the surroundings, Ambient - ? Autonomic Cabling is so meaningless that it will fit into any context qite seamlessly. Asymetric Cabling has different meanings depending on which way you look at it. If you wish to imply that the value of your company is self-evident, try Axiomatic Cables.
