The CK Daily – Spring Break in Bloom
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone’s having a great week so far!
I know it’s Spring Break for a lot of people which definitely brings a more relaxed vibe to the week.
While I won’t be hitting the beach myself, I am taking a couple of days off at the end of the week to escape to the mountains of Tennessee! I’ll be staying near the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area—which means plenty of options for fun and adventure.
Of course, we’ll be spending some time in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and I’m hoping to catch it as it starts to come alive for spring! The Smokies are home to over 1,500 species of flowering plants, so I’m crossing my fingers for a beautiful show of wildflowers and fresh greenery as the forest wakes up for the season.
As for the rest of the trip, we’re still piecing together our plans. It’s been years since I visited the area, so if you’re a frequent traveler to the Smokies, I’d love to hear your favorite spots—send me your “must-do” list!

Learning Center Article – How to Choose the Right Fiber Connector: PC vs UPC vs APC
One common philosophy is to focus on physical contact between the fibers. Doing so is difficult, as at least some air gap tends to exist inside the connector. To combat that and the signal disruption that comes with air gaps, three types of physical contact connectors are used in a wide range of systems. These are PC, UPC, and APC connectors.
