The CK Daily – Do you read reviews?
Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far! This holiday season has been such a rush – full of family, friends, and lots of good food.
Over this past week/weekend, I didn’t find myself participating in as much holiday shopping as I have in the past. Normally, my husband and I would do some Black Friday shopping and knock some of our Christmas shopping out early on, but this year we didn’t! However, as I was scrolling through ads and such, I did find myself clicking on several things and heading straight to the reviews to see what people had to say. If it was a clothing item, I wanted to know how it fit and what people had to say about the material. If it was a household product, I wanted to know if they liked it, why, and if it worked as expected. Then it had me thinking, reviews are key!! Do you read reviews? If so, what do you like to see when you do?
If you’ve shopped with us at CK, have you left us a review? We are always striving to provide the best possible service and we’d love for others to know about it from you!
If you’ve got some time, we’d love for you to leave us a review!
Hope you have a wonderful week!

OM4, like, OM3, is laser-optimized to give optimum performance and reliability. Unlike other old fiber types, OM4 has a higher attenuation that helps create lower losses over greater distances.

When you build a network, you primarily focus on hardware that meets certain requirements. It has to be fast enough and able to manage enough traffic for your applications.
In some cases, it might also need durability requirements, and one of the scariest things for sensitive networking equipment (like SFPs) is something as simple as temperature. If it gets too hot or too cold, it can damage your hardware, and your whole network fails.
