The CK Daily – Meet Matt!
My name is Matt Mishkin, and I am the new Sales Manager at CablesAndKits!
I am originally from Evanston IL (just outside of Chicago), and that’s where most of my family still lives. I am blessed with an incredible Wife, Elena, as well as a one-and-a-half-year-old baby girl named Ruby. We also have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle named Nala, and a 12-year-old turtle (Red Eared Slider) named Mel.
Me, Elena, and the animals moved to Sandy Springs, GA two years ago while she was pregnant with Ruby. She grew up here, and her parents and much of her family still live in the area, which is fantastic. Elena and I initially met at the University of Michigan in 2011, and have been together ever since. I still consider myself lucky that she was adventurous enough to face the Michigan winters as a Southerner.
This past weekend, my dad was in town visiting from Chicago, and he spent lots of quality time with Ruby. Watching my parents interact with her is one of my favorite things in life. We took him to Waffle House, naturally, and tried to go swimming in our community pool Saturday afternoon after Ruby’s nap. We all got changed and lathered up in sunscreen, made sure we had full water bottles, snacks, and Ruby’s pool inflatables, walked over to the pool, and right then, dark clouds and thunder rolled in. Classic! My dad and I watched the NBA Finals on Sunday night, as we’re both big sports fans. Unfortunately, our beloved Chicago Bulls have been mediocre (at best) over the last decade. It was a great weekend filled with lots of family time.
Have a great rest of your week, everyone, and an early Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, especially mine!
Matt

Learning Center Article – EMI & RFI Protection in Ethernet Cables: What You Need to Know for Reliable Signal Integrity
As Ethernet deployments expand beyond simple office setups into more complex, high-interference environments, EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) have become major factors in performance loss and network reliability. These hidden threats can weaken signal integrity, slow down data transmission, and introduce frustrating packet loss. To get the most out of your Ethernet investment, you need to understand how shielding works and when it’s worth the upgrade.
