The CK Daily – Senior Festivities
Happy Wednesday!
This week is bittersweet. It’s senior week for my little brother! His school has done all kinds of things this week to celebrate his accomplishments throughout his 4 years of high school. My parents even got the opportunity to decorate his football locker with photos of when he was little to remind him how far he’s come. It’s been fun checking in with him every day to see what the surprise of the day has been and how he’s feeling about the reality of actually (and finally) being a senior!
We will wrap up the week this week at his football game on Friday by walking him across the field to recognize his effort and the hard work he’s put in for his team. I’m sure there will be several tears but also big smiles for what’s to come for him.
It is such an honor to be his big sister and one of his biggest cheerleaders in life. Here’s to a win on Friday night!

Power Injectors are a great budget-friendly solution to power up and connect access points that are run off of non-PoE switches with an ethernet cable. 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.
Learning Center Article – Single Mode vs Multimode Fiber Cables
Fiber optics are essential for building the most capable networks, but when making design choices, there are plenty of options that serve fiber optics in general. One of the primary choices available to any network engineer exists between single-mode fiber and multimode fiber.
These are physically different approaches to fiber optics communication, and as such, they offer different strengths and weaknesses. To effectively choose the right design for your network, it helps to have a better understanding of what separates these types of cables.
