The CK Daily – A year of celebrations!
Happy Wednesday!
This weekend was bittersweet in many ways. My little brother ended the week playing in his last first game as a high school senior. I can not believe I am even typing that. I remember the day he was born so clearly, it feels like it was just yesterday! The Lego-loving, Phineas and Ferb watching, Nemo’s biggest fan is grown. 🥺 He played an incredible game and I’m looking forward to watching him continue to grow this season.
We also ended the weekend kicking off an 18-day countdown until he’s 18! I can’t even believe he’s been driving for 2 years. It’s going to be a big year for our family celebrating many “lasts” and praying for him in his decision of where he wants to go to college.
Hope you have a great rest of your week!

Learning Center Article – Why would you use shielded Ethernet Cables?
Currently, the use of high bandwidth applications has been on the rise, and network systems have started venturing into factory environments which have called for the use of shielded cables. In this new installation sector, the cable is used in areas with high electromagnetic interference (EMI). Even with improved ability to reject noise and handle gigabit Ethernet, these cables will not function properly in areas where there is high EMI if not properly shielded. A shielded cable will help in these high EMI installations ensuring safe and efficient data transfer.
