The CK Daily – The Convenience of Telemedicine
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend and took some time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy our freedom today! It’s such a somber holiday, but so important to take time out intentionally each year to reflect on the bravery and selflessness of those who gave all for us to enjoy the life we do today. There is no “thank you” big enough!
While I wish I could write about what a fun long weekend it was, the reality is that I unfortunately was sick all weekend! I started feeling “off” on Saturday with low energy and a sore throat, and by Sunday I was running a pretty high fever complete with a throbbing headache, while still dealing with a sore throat. I’ve continued with these symptoms ever since and am so ready to be feeling better! I did finally take advantage of the convenience of telemedicine and saw a doctor from the comfort of my couch. She suspected strep throat and prescribed me antibiotics which I just started last night… really hoping they work and provide some relief soon!

This module is an excellent solution for those looking to migrate to a 40G network while using your existing 10G duplex LC MMF cabling infrastructure.
Learning Center Article – What is Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing Technology
No matter what kind of network you maintain, you always have the same demands: more speed, less cost, and larger capacity. For any network with heavy demands on data and/or distance, this always results in implementing fiber optics. This is a technology that grows and shifts every day, and it can be exhausting to stay on top of the mountains of information out there.
To help with that, a few simple explanations of popular fiber optic tech can make your life a lot easier. In that effort, today’s lesson is on CWDM technology. It’s one of several fiber optic cable choices and can fill many roles.
