November 15, 2020  |  Post by: TCE Team

From circuit overloads to power fluctuation, there are some common electrical issues we face occasionally. These issues usually pop up when the wiring is old or damaged. Electrical issues should be fixed promptly to prevent any mishaps like permanent damage to electrical appliances, power outage, and electrical fire. Although it may be tempting to tinker with the wiring and circuits yourself, contacting a commercial electrician service to resolve your problem is the safest bet.

What is commercial electrician?

They take care of the electrical instruments and wiring used for power, lighting, air conditioning, etc. They use basic tools like screwdrivers, pliers, and the like, along with advanced tools as per the requirement.

Coronavirus and the Effects on Essential Workers

October 15, 2020  |  Post by: TCE Team

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light how much our society depends upon essential workers. We often discuss the mental health and morale of Americans who are in quarantine or who have lost family members. But what about our front-line workers? They face the coronavirus on a daily basis AND endure the toll it takes on their mental health.

Who are essential workers?

When most people hear the terms ‘front-line’ workers, they recall nurses, doctors, and health care workers. But we’re forgetting the rest of them.

These are:

  • Policemen.
  • Garbage Collectors.
  • Street Cleaners.
  • Critical Retail Workers, e.g. grocery stores, mechanics.
  • Food Production and Agriculture.
  • Custodial staff.
  • Wastewater and Water.
  • Childcare workers.
  • Energy workers.
  • Transport Work

The Post Covid-19 World: Preparing For The Future Economy

September 15, 2020  |  Post by: TCE Team

The economic impact created by the COVID-19 pandemic is nothing less than disruptive. Its adverse effects are felt by all industries, particularly travel, shipping, manufacturing, and financial. The most noticeable effects are visible in the stock market. Global shares are constantly fluctuating. Shares in companies are being sold and bought- affecting the value of individual savings accounts and pensions.

Another economic consequence of the current pandemic is the rise in unemployment rates. According to the International Monetary Fund, the current rate of unemployment in the United States is 10.4%. Millions of laid-off employees have applied for unemployment insurance benefits and government-backed job retention programs since the onset of the pandemic in March.

The travel industry was hit the hardest. Due to travel restrictions applied by several countries, many airlines cut their flights or shut operations altogether. Customers are also canceling vacations and business trips. 

In addition, the demand for oil has nearly dried up. The price of crude oil has dipped quite low due to the coronavirus. Lastly, consumer confidence is at an all-time low. Many shoppers prefer to stay at home.

Terminating a Copper Wire Patch Cable

June 3, 2019  |  Post by: admin

Cat 6 is one of the best network cables available, and is responsible for delivery – sending and receiving. RJ45s are network connectors – and then there are keystone jacks of different types. For a patch cable, you need a straight through cable, meaning, it’s the same type on both sides, and not cross-over cable. Loadable patch panels have the punch-downs in the back, with pins in the front, corresponding to the punch-downs.
On removing the sheathing of the cable, you’ll find 4 pairs of twisted wires – browns, blues, greens, and oranges; these are twisted together as brown-white-brown, blue-white-blue, etc. It’s important to untwist the wires, and separate each strand, and straighten them out. It is recommended that you hold the wires in a pinch to prevent them from crossing one another. Keeping just about ¾ of an inch, cut off the rest. It becomes easy to insert the strands into the RJ45 cubes – just line them up with the channels inside the cube and push the wires in till they reach the marked line. A crimping tool is used to push down on the cube’s pins – which push down on the copper wire strands, making the electrical connection; here, the 8-pin side is used
Female versions of RJ45s are usually color coded as T56A or B, and A type is normally used for residential. They need to be removed from the sheathing as before, and separated. The brown and blue wi

The Loadable Patch Panel

April 26, 2019  |  Post by: admin

While setting up a networking infrastructure around your workplace or any other domain that requires the use networking devices such as a server, switch, routers, etc., it is important that all incoming and outgoing cables that help connect and manage your network, are well organized and flexible to change. This is where a patch panel can help you.

Patch panels are effective pieces of equipment that are also referred to as patch bays, patch fields or jack fields and are part of a network. They are mounted assembly units that contain ports that are used to connect and manage incoming and outgoing cables as per their configuration i.e LAN, WAN, ETHERNET, etc. They help keep the cables in your server room or data-center organized and easily accessible and flexible too. This means with the help of a patch panel you can easily add or change the cabling infrastructure of your network.

A patch panel extends can be used with both interconnect and cross-connect methods to splice and terminate cables. In order to do so, you need patch cables that help terminate and route signals to the required destination via the patch cables. With a patch panel, all you need to do is plug or unplug the corresponding patch cords to create flexible connections and arrange circuits. We have an informa

How to send tone through a patch cable

February 20, 2019  |  Post by: admin

A cable network never consists of only a single cable. There is a complex and intricate web of cables which create a network. All the cables in the network meet in a server room where detecting which cable goes where is almost impossible.

Maintaining and organizing these cables is a hard process, however, it is very important if you do not want any interruptions in your network.

In case of a network error, for example, if your telephone line stops working; you do not have the time to check all the cables and devices just to see where the problem occurred. However, your dead telephone will also hamper your working, which you can’t afford!

The best way to trace cables without wasting precious time is by using Tones and Testers. By sending a tone down the cable, you can detect the other end of the cable which is causing the disturbance. Tone testing is very useful when it comes to remote locations. The tone will travel through one end of the circuit and the technician will check all the cable ends present in the server room until the problematic cable is found.

The Importance of Marketing

July 19, 2017  |  Post by: Al Krulick

marketing

In order for a business to survive, it must have customers. In order to have customers it must sell a product or service that people want or need. Then it must find ways to reach out to those potential customers in order to convince them that their wants and needs can be satisfied by that particular business. In a competitive marketplace, where every business is reaching out to a finite universe of consumers, getting enough customers “in the door” not only requires excellence in the product or service being offered, but most certainly in the ways in which the business promotes itself and markets it product or service to the public.

Without marketing, a business may offer the best products or services in the industry, but none of its potential customers would know about it. Of course, not everyone will be interested in every product or service offered, which is why one of marketing’s functions is to research a company’s target audience – those consumers who are most likely to need and purchase what it is selling. This research includes paying attention to buying trends – what people are looking for – as well as investigating what one’s competitors are selling, how they are attempting

Four Tips to Improve Your YouTube Marketing

June 17, 2017  |  Post by: Al Krulick

YouTube

#1: Just as it’s true with a written blog post, or, indeed, any other form of advertising, content is king. That means that your YouTube video must tell an original and interesting story. People are simply not going to have much patience with a boring or conventional video. Engaging your audience is key, and it’s not always important for your content ideas to relate directly to your product or business. This is particularly true if you’re in an industry that’s hard to get people excited about. What sometimes is more important is linking your business with content that connects your product or service with a positive emotion. Think outside the box and remember to keep it interesting.

#2: While nobody expects your video to be Hollywood quality, it’s still important for it to be watchable. That means it must be clearly seen and heard. Make sure your camera is in focus and correctly aimed on the subject you are shooting. Also, be sure that your lighting is sufficient. In addition, understand that bad audio can tank your video within seconds. Even the most polished visuals will be wasted if the sound is too low, or there is too much interference or background noise. Viewers have come to expect a
