They\u2019re strong, courageous, usually good looking, plus they use their superpowers to serve mankind.\u00a0 But we can\u2019t forget about their brightly-colored and emblem-adorned tights that make them stand apart from any civilian. If you ask me, you aren\u2019t a superhero without a cool outfit and it has to be paired with an awesome mask. Maybe these outstanding outfits are part of the reason they tend to take the spotlight as much as they do. For all their heroics (and sweet apparel), however, we can\u2019t forget the Unsung Hero \u2013 those who take a backseat to the one flying around the city, but still offer just as much day-saving mojo as their superhero partner.<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CablesAndKits<\/a>, we often put a lot of emphasis on the heavy-hitters of our product line \u2013 the switches, routers and phones that save the day when you have a networking need. But we can\u2019t forget the Unsung Heroes that support them behind the scenes \u2013 the ever-necessary accessories!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Aquaman is a superhero that often gets a bad rap. He doesn\u2019t always go around slapping people with a large tuna while riding a giant seahorse. Instead, Aquaman commands sharks, octopi and other sea predators to do his bidding while wielding a massive indestructible trident, not to mention he is unhindered by gunfire and for a season, had a harpoon for a hand. (Yes, you\u2019ve read right! A harpoon hand, how cool?!) Needless to say, he has been much downplayed compared to his fellow superheroes. Much like Aquaman\u2019s connection to the oceans of Earth, our 10GBase-CU Twin0Ax SFP cable has the ability to connect the switches in your network. (Ha! And you thought this article was only going to be about Superheroes!) We like to think of this cable as being the \u201cAquaman\u201d of your network setup. This cable may seem like a low-value accessory, but in actuality it is an essential piece of your network setup.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2056 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cablesandkits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAquaW-1024x597.png\" alt=\"Sups-comicAquaW\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hank Pym (aka Ant-Man) is one of the most brilliant scientists in the Marvel Universe.By creating a special formula, Pym Particles, he was capable of shrinking himself into the size of an ant but retain the strength and agility of an average sized human. Ant-Man has the ability to communicate with ants and other high-order insects through his cybernetic helmet when he is need of assistance, which adds a whole new level of superhero powers. But who could forget about his awesome talent of ant-riding? I mean, come on now \u2013 who\u2019s really going to take a man riding an ant-like it\u2019s a bucking bull seriously? Now that we\u2019ve poked fun at him, I guess it\u2019s only right for us to tell you that Ant-Man is an unsung hero in his own right. Just think, who else is able to minimize their size by a formulated potion and retain normal human strength to attack those bad guys? But we all know he couldn\u2019t have done all of this without his technological advances \u2013 as well as the help of his six-legged friends. Just like Ant-Man, the Cisco ASA5505 19\u201d Rack Mount Kit is the helping device for upholding your network\u2019s firewall. While the rack kit may seem minuscule like Ant-Man\u2019s ant army, it is a valuable device to help you save the day for your Network!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAntmanW-1024x597.png\" alt=\"Antman army\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAntmanW-1024x597.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAntmanW-1024x597-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAntmanW-1024x597-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If snarky quips and successfully executed day-to-day operations in a fancy mansion are your favorite types of heroics, the Alfred Pennyworth (Batman\u2019s butler) is your guy. But let\u2019s be honest, most people don\u2019t admire that style of heroism (even if we all wish we knew someone that did those things for us!). But there is a lot more depth to Alfred than just being sarcastic and calculating the excessive electric bills Wayne Manor conjures. We all know Alfred never went to medical school and probably doesn\u2019t even have his CPR certification, but he was always there to perform surgery on the injured Batman after his night of protection. \u00a0Not only is Alfred an awesome surgeon prodigy, but he is also an expert at hiding Batman\u2019s location by impersonating Batman on the telephone. (Where can I apply for one of these surgeons, impersonating butlers?) Speaking of using a phone to be a hero \u2013 did you know that your 7900 Series IP Phone would get NOWHERE without a handset to go with it? Every phone needs a handset for those moments where that loud speaker just won\u2019t do the trick. And while it\u2019s probably not very professional to do so, we really hope you use it to talk to people in your Batman voice \u2013 Alfred has shown us that that\u2019s a pretty effective way to save the day!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cablesandkits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAlfredW.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2058 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cablesandkits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sups-comicAlfredW-1024x597.png\" alt=\"Sups-comicAlfredW\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everyone needs a superhero from time to time\u2026 but we mustn\u2019t forget that not every hero receives the recognition they deserve.
