Happy Tuesday!

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

I did it. I bought the RV in Orlando. It was touch and go for a moment there – I thought the guy was flaking on me. Turns out his back had gone out a few days before and he was in pretty bad pain. He’d not mentioned that before. I was able to share about all my back issues over the last 20 years and give him some guidance which I think he and his wife really appreciated.

Not only did I get the super nice but gently used and affordably priced motorhome, I was also able to buy his 2012 CRV that was already rigged up as a tow vehicle. So now we are really set to hit the road!

For those camping folks out there that have been emailing me, here are the details …

2010 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 35QBA. Front engine diesel on Freightliner chassis which was a special option. Not many of them out there. That’s the main thing that sold me on this one at first. Perfectly clean and almost no blemishes. $67k, which is a steal for such a nice motorhome.

2012 Honda CRV with 80k miles, already setup to tow – $7k! What?!

I am beyond happy and excited for the family. We already have a camping trip planned in a couple of weeks with someone from CK and his family!

Now for the trip home!

March 22, 2013 by Jason Gazaway

First off, I apologize for the “Awesome Week in Review” being MIA for the past week. I took a vacation day to enjoy the beautiful weather. It was amazing! But, enough about that…on to the current Awesome Week in Review!

This past weekend we had a few of our purchasing/sales guys take a little “roadtrip” down to Florida for an industry event in the CK mobile. They left at 5-dark-thirty (before any of us were up!) and drove all day. It was cool though we had a cool little 10% OFF coupon code on the back of the car – gotta take advantage of any billboard we have! The drive down seemed to inspire Carlos to wear his driving hat, but drive Jonathan to hide and sleep the whole way. (Thanks Geoff for the incriminating pictures!) There was a casualty on the trip though. Carlos’ iPhone 5 was having a great time on the trip until it took a dive off the table. Poor Carlos…what’s this, your 4th one?

We also celebrated Geoff’s (from our Purchasing Department) birthday! As with most birthday’s around here, his desk space was appropriately decorated. This would not be complete without a [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 3.22.2013

Plug into Power Cord Know How!

August 18, 2011 by Jonathan Stover

Navigating the jungle of terminology, acronyms and part numbers can be daunting in the field of telecommunications. Anyone attempting to determine and buy cabling can attest to this. Improper data cabling will cause a logical error. With power cables, using the wrong type can cause physical failure such as fires and electrical shock. The stakes are higher. Luckily the abundance of documentation and regulation assure that anyone seeking direction to deploy the correct cord can find the information they need to choose the right cord and avoid common pitfalls, damage and injury that comes with electrical failure.

Common Terminology:

Amperage (amp): This term refers to the amount of electrons that are moving in the circuit. This is also “how much” electricity there is.

Voltage: This refers to how much force is behind the electrons, or how fast the electrons are moving.

Attributes:

When choosing a power cord there are (3) main attributes to be aware of:
