Midweek brings an important observance for many. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season for Christians and takes place 46 days before Easter. It is often a day of reflection, prayer, and setting intentions for the season ahead. Have a blessed Ash Wednesday. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CK Daily – A CK Love Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Howdy, everyone! Ready for Part 2 of the love story I shared yesterday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When our team met Angelina at the airport in 2018, they said it felt like connecting with a sister. There was instant camaraderie, shared jokes, and an easy understanding between them. They traveled together for nearly two weeks, sharing meals and experiences, and by the end of the trip, it was clear this was more than just a professional partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the team returned to the US, the group kept a chat going. From the outside, it was fascinating to see how quickly they had bonded. According to Craig, it was pretty obvious that Rod, one of our team members, and Angelina had formed a special connection. Group chats slowly turned into one-on-one conversations, and before long, a romantic relationship began to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rod and Angelina were married in the US in the fall of 2019, followed by a Chinese wedding in early 2020. Their first Lunar New Year in China was spent with Angelina\u2019s parents in her hometown, and then COVID hit. What would normally have been a short visit turned into nearly a month together. Newlyweds. New country for Rod. Extended time with the in-laws. Can you imagine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their story gave me a deeper appreciation for what Lunar New Year typically represents: extended time off, traveling home, slowing down, and being with family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our nearly 25 years in business, we\u2019ve seen so many life-changing moments within our team: friendships, weddings, babies. Rod and Angelina\u2019s story is one of my favorites. Today they have a daughter, Annie, and we are always grateful when we get to see them. Now we love Annie just as much as we love and appreciate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m so glad we get to call this a \u201cCK Love Story”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OM4 patch cables take all the benefits of OM3 fiber and increase the transmission bandwidth up to 40gbs, and in some cases 100gbs. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
