Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the CablesAndKits CEO daily email. Read more about this email by scrolling to the very bottom.

What a day! I was on set for the filming of this music video today at my property, and as I mentioned, I was given a part in it as well. It was a super cool experience. Having been an extra on a film once before I knew that it was fun, but had forgotten just how much fun it was. If you ever get a chance to be an extra on a movie/film I highly recommend it. The inner workings of how things work is pretty fascinating. Even the lingo and short phrases used on set are pretty cool. A generator is a putt putt. When a take is finished, and a cut is called, a “reset” is called to indicate everyone should reset to their original position to do another take of the same scene. It’s all very neat to see how films are made and to think about what goes into directing and producing your favorite show or movie. Once the video is done and live I’ll share a link!

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

Herring fish communicate by using flatulence.

Today’s Product Spotlight from Rerun (AKA Rebecca):

Happy Wednesday!! I can’t believe how fast this week is flying by! Today’s product spotlight goes to another favorite transceiver module, the GLC-SX-MMD! This transceiver is an improved version of another favorite, the GLC-SX-MM! What makes the GLC-SX-MMD superior? Well, it includes Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) functionality aaaand this hearty transceiver can tolerate an extended temperature range! The DOM functionality allows users to monitor the signal power, the temperature, and the voltage that the SFP is receiving (fancy, right?!).

This 1000Base-SX hot-swappable module comes in the standard Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) form factor, operates over multimode fiber (MMF), offers Gigabit speeds and can operate at a cabling distance of up to 1,000 meters (using OM3 fiber)! That’s pretty impressive!!

Of course we’ve got you covered in regards to options for these SFPs! Check out our supply of:

Helping Others | V-Racks | Darn Fools | Tech News

Happy Monday!

(“Darn Fool” Article further down)

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My wife and I are like tired mufflers – exhausted. We helped with the garage sale for our friends Friday and Saturday and those early mornings, long days, and physical activity we are not used to was a sudden change and took it out of us! But, we had a lot of fun, it was satisfying to help friends, and we got a lot done! So, we ourselves had a great weekend … even though I can barely walk haha.

Annnnd … yesterday we came to Great Wolf Lodge. We have some friends that we’ve made a near tradition of meeting here for one of our kid’s birthdays. It’s a hotel that is also an indoor water park. Pretty awesome actually!

On Friday I was driving down the road and saw a lady who was fishing a spare tire from her trunk. She obviously had a flat so I turned around and went to help. I changed her tire and got her on her way, but afterward I had a thought …. I don’t even change my own tires! If I have a flat on the side of the road I am pretty sure I would call roadside assistance. The last time I had a flat I had Run Flats and was able to drive all the way to the dealer to have them replace it.

The realization that I had about the tire, and the garage sale, is that it is sometimes easier for me to help other people than it is for me to do things that I need to do myself. Can you identify with that?

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

Red Solo cups are a common souvenir to bring back from the United States. The novelty comes from the cups being used in many party scenes in movies.

Garage Sale Anyone? | CISCO2911/K9’s | Disinfecting Sprays | Made for Eternity

Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to the CablesAndKits CEO daily email. Read more about this email by scrolling to the very bottom.

Well hello there … I haven’t seen you since, well, last week! I hope you enjoyed your long weekend. Me and my family sure did.

As I said on Friday, I had just gotten home with a new-to-us motorhome and the kids were beside themselves. They immediately wanted to stay the night in it so I agreed for us to do that on Friday night. The wife said “y’all go ahead, I am going to enjoy the quiet house to myself”. I get it. Both girls stayed in their bunks all night which was a little shocking. Saturday night they wanted to stay again, so we did. Sunday night they wanted to stay again, so we did. Mama came down and hung out with us for a movie and then left us to it. We had a campfire, roasted marshmallows, snuggled in the recliner and watched TV together. It was great. We are already making memories and haven’t even left the yard yet!

We also went to Mike’s house (the friend with cancer) this weekend to help get ready for a garage sale. They moved a while back and still have a mountain of things that need to go. I’m pretty good at moving fast, sorting, organizing, and making sense of things, and worked as fast as Mike could think and make decisions, which isn’t slow … so I was pretty wore out! I really love that sort of productive exercise where you’re not just exercising for the sake of exercising (which I never do).

The garage sale is in Hoschton (GA) this weekend (Fri, Sat, and a little on Sun). If you are in the area and want to stop by, email me and I will give you the address!

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

Until 2016, the “Happy Birthday” song was not for public use. Meaning, prior to 2016, the song was copyrighted and you had to pay a license to use it.

Today’s Product Spotlight from Rerun (AKA Rebecca):

Cisco 2911 Integrated Services Router, CISCO2911/K9

The Will of God | Clorox Canister Wipes | Crazy Good price on 3-Ply Masks | OM3 Fiber

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the CablesAndKits CEO daily email. Read more about this email by scrolling to the very bottom.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

German Chocolate Cake is named after an American baker by the name of Samuel German. It has no affiliation with the country of Germany.

Who knew.

You really need to check out the two things Joe is saying below today. Cannister wipes are back in stock, and we have slammed the price down on 3-ply masks!

I just banged out a few paragraphs on the will of God below. I hope you’ll check it out.

Today’s Product Spotlight from Rerun (AKA Rebecca):

Happy Wednesday!! We made it to the halfway point so it’s all downhill from here, right!?

Today we are featuring a product that’s an absolute staple… Sometimes overlooked, not always given it’s due, but always there for us when we need it… OM3 Fiber! This small but mighty cable is an MVP when you think about it… it utilizes laser-optimized multimode (LOMMF) transmission and enables high bandwidth with speeds up to 10Gbps!

We offer a wide variety of options in OM3 (and many other optical modes!) including your choice between Basic Cable or Premium Cable. We also offer a variety of connector types including Push-Pull Tab, Standard, and Uniboot!

Our Premium OM3 cables feature Corning® Optical Fiberglass to give you the highest degree of strength and purity along with low attenuation! In addition, our cables are made with Bend Insensitive Fiber (BIF) meaning you can bend and twist away with minimal loss, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jackets, Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish, and Simple Polarity Reversible Function!

From Joe, our friendly Safety Supplies Product Marketer:

BIG NEWS!! All of our 3-Ply Face Masks have seen price cuts! This includes both our adult size as well as our Kids Face Masks. The best part about this is like I mentioned yesterday, our 2000 pack will be on sale throughout the week. That means not only did it see a price cut, but that price is on sale! This is the lowest our prices have ever been, take advantage!

Now I have something that I used to love telling you guys about! It’s been a while, but we have CANISTERS again!! Check out our cleaning wipes page and you’ll see we finally have more Lysol 80 count canisters! People seem to prefer canisters over flex packs so now’s your chance to grab some. There’s no telling how long these will last, I’m always in shock with how fast you guys sell us out of these!
