The CK Daily – 20 Days of Giving: Day 6
Happy Monday! I hope you are enjoying learning about the organizations we get the joy of giving to this holiday season. Throughout my 6 years at CablesAndKits, it has been a joy to see the acts of giving we have done and the way it has impacted our community.
I have chosen to give my CK team donation to Alpa Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The ability to financially afford to attend a college institution of your choice debt-free is a dream of many. Thankfully, through many scholarships and family, this dream was a reality for me. I am giving to this organization as it is one that focuses on minorities like myself here in Gwinnett County and provides financial support by way of college scholarships.
I’d love to know who you are giving to this season!

Learning Center Article – What is the difference between LSZH and OFNR?
With the many types of fiber cables and then the components that make each of them up, it can be very confusing to know what fiber cable is the best overall for your business. One of the biggest questions we get is what is the difference between OFNR fiber cables and LSZH fiber cables. While they seem like the same thing, they are really two very different and very important attributes of fiber cables, and the same fiber cable can be both.
To understand these attributes better, we have to understand the construction of fiber cables and the different rating levels associated with fiber optic cabling. Learn more about the difference here.
