Hometime, a home improvement show hosted by Dean Johnson, has been on the air for 24 seasons and in syndication for nine years. Hometime is known for helping homeowners achieve professional-looking results on their home improvement projects.

Recently, Suttle was featured with their line of SOHO Access™ structured wiring enclosures and modules along with their line of SpeedStar™ connectors and faceplates on an upcoming episode of Hometime.  The episode (Stone Cottage 29: Carpet) set to air in April 2011, is the third time Suttle has been fortunate enough to appear on the program. The system that was installed distributes the home’s basic voice, data, and video networks and demonstrated the versatility of Suttle’s structured wiring products. These products offer a flexible and aesthetically pleasing way to organize a large number of connections in a small amount of space.

Yes that’s not a mistake. As of the end of September 2010 Suttle has shipped over 100 Million (100,000,000) DSL filters since it first introduced the product in 2000. That’s enough filters, if one was plugged into the next in a continuous line, to stretch across the United States from San Diego, California to Jacksonville, Florida two and a half times.

This major milestone not only demonstrates the success of the product, but also illustrates Suttle’s commitment to quality and long-term customer relationships as well. We’re proud of the part we’ve played in helping to deliver data services in the past 10 years with these filters, as well as the legacy of phone communications we’ve supported for the last 100 years. And we intend to use this experience, expertise, and commitment to quality to push innovation in the future.

Experience from the last century, Innovation for the next.
