CK Daily – 12.02.2025

December 2, 2025 by CablesAndKits

It’s Tuesday and a perfect reminder to give back. National Day of Giving encourages generosity, whether to charities, causes, or someone in need. How are you spreading kindness today?

The CK Daily – December is for Giving

As we have shared in years past, giving is a priority here at CK. We find that there is so much joy experienced when you help meet the needs of others in a meaningful way. This year we are partnering with a local organization that I (Christin) have the privilege to serve with through board membership.

iServe Ministries serves the needs of our local community, our neighbors, by providing free food to those in need through a variety of programs. At Christmas iServe facilitates a toy giveaway in partnership with several local organizations. A few days before Christmas, a free breakfast is served and families in need can come with their children to pick out gifts for Christmas. The need this year is larger than we’ve ever seen it!

We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys for the giveaway. If you’d like to help us fill the space around our office tree, we’d be grateful! With the help of my 12-year-old (the expert Amazon shopper), I created a shopping list with gifts for children from babies to teens:

iServe Toy Giveaway Amazon Wishlist

CK is matching donations from the list up to $10k (either via additional gifts or a donation).

During this end of year giving season, I encourage you to find a cause close to your heart to give your time or resources to — experience the connection and joy that helping others can bring!

Christin

The CK Daily – A Thankful Start to December

Happy Monday and Happy December!

I enjoyed a nice long weekend with the family. We have a small tradition of watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade on Thanksgiving morning while drinking hot cocoa. This year we were surprised to see Huntrix from the K-Pop Demon Hunters performing. My kids are obsessed with the movie and the soundtrack, so they were glued to the TV and loved seeing them live. We ended up having two great Thanksgiving meals, one at my in-laws and one at my parents. Somehow, I managed to escape cooking this year. It has definitely been a year of gratitude. We’ve had our ups and downs, but overall, it feels like the year came out net positive and we’re thankful for that.

On Friday we put up our Christmas tree and decorations. I like that our tree is a total hodgepodge of ornaments from trips we’ve taken and homemade creations from the kids. Every ornament reminds us of something.

On Saturday I gave my parents and sister an early Christmas present by taking the family to the circus. Cirque du Soleil was in town, and I found a good deal on tickets. The show was incredible, and I recommend seeing it at least once in your lifetime. The kids had a blast, and my parents and sister enjoyed it too.

Sunday was a rainy and slow day. We went to church and took the rest of the day to relax and mentally prepare for the upcoming busy week and Christmas season.

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

Learning Center Article – PVC vs LSZH vs OFNP vs OFNR Cable Jackets Explained

When comparing fiber optics cables, there are a lot of different components and considerations. One important component is the outer jacket of the cable. Outer jackets can be made from a number of materials, and generally speaking, the jacket materials can work with any fiber cable type. That means that choosing the right cable jacket is often independent of choosing the fiber setup.
