The CK Daily – Beating the Heat!
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. We got to celebrate my nephew’s 8th birthday on Saturday which was so much fun. He is really into Jurassic World so that was the theme of his party… dinosaurs everywhere! There are so many qualities I love about him, but one of my favorites is that he is always up for adventures and learning/trying new things! It’s such a blast to take him out for new experiences. Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to get to take him out for a few “firsts” such as his first time bowling, his first time at a baseball game, and his first time swinging a golf club at the driving range. He soaked up every minute of each of those experiences and wanted to learn as much as he could about whatever the activity was. He has a true passion for life that I can relate to and I love it! He’s a pure joy to be around and I’m excited for his 8th trip around the sun!

Power Injectors are a great budget-friendly solution to power up and connect access points that are run off of non-PoE switches with an ethernet cable. Power Injectors also remove the cumbersome and sometimes cost-prohibitive task of installing electrical outlets to power up access points. The AIR-PWRINJ4 converts 100 to 240 volts AC into 56 volts DC that can then be injected into a Cat 5 ethernet cable to power an access point.
