The CK Daily – Time is Flying!
Happy Monday!
Thanksgiving was a bit of a blur, but definitely enjoyable. I somehow caught a cold or really bad allergies and was mostly downing Dayquil and cough drops the entirety of the week, but I did get a chance to spend time with family (albeit at a distance) and enjoyed some really great Thanksgiving foods. Even though I was a bit under the weather, I am very thankful for the time and the relaxing week. Just a few more days until December and then before we even know it, 2023. Time’s definitely flying! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and that you’ll hit the ground running this week!
Thanks,
Cris

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.
