The CK Daily – See you soon!
Happy Wednesday!
Well, the time has come, and I have entered my last week of work before I deliver my second child. I always say the time has flown by, but this pregnancy has gone by in the blink of an eye.
As I’ve prepared for my leave, I have spent a lot of time nesting in my home as well as working to ensure that everything is ready! My husband has rearranged a lot of furniture on the personal front, and I’ve rearranged and edited lots of process documents for the customer solutions and customer experience team.
As much as I am excited to take a break away from work, I am equally nervous as I am a bit of a worrier when I’m not directly involved. Our CK President, Chris McCoy likes to say, as a leader sometimes we can’t see what needs to be fixed or worked on until we take a step away and let the team run. When we, as leaders, take a vacation it allows the team to run as it should and issues may make themselves apparent which in turn will help us understand what needs to be “fixed”. Although I hope everything runs smoothly, I am anxious to find out what I can do to help the team run even more efficiently to serve each of you. I don’t expect anything to change while away. If anything, I think the team is going to be so much stronger once I return!
See you in a few weeks!

Learning Center Article – What is a Cat8 Ethernet Cable and How is it Different?
We were told that Ethernet was going to be a thing of the past. Google tried to make fiber optics the new standard for home internet connections, and it was an obvious choice for scaling industrial applications. Somehow, Ethernet has hung in there, and new iterations arise every few years that continue to push the envelope of traditional copper wires.
In this article, we cover the latest iteration: Cat8. We’re going to start with the basics, but in a few short minutes, you’ll have a clear picture of what Cat8 is, how it works and why you need to be thinking about it.
