Great episode. Lots of good info. The recording and editing is getting better too! Constructive feedback - when listing off a bunch of numbers, having them written on the screen is really handy to compare the numbers without trying to remember them all (like all the core and sheathing thicknesses on different cables). Also, it would be great when listing off things like different kinds of connectors if you had (some or most of) them on hand and did a brief zoom in on them, it helps people who are still new to the topic remember or learn the hardware types.
Sound advice, Henry! It is all supposed to be compatible via open standards, and for the most part, it is, but you will run into trouble from time to time. HP, Cisco, and 3Com are the most egregious violators of this, effectively locking you out of using anything but the transceivers they produce and sell. I will typically buy the same brand of transceiver as the equipment just to be safe. For example, Ubiquiti with Ubiquiti and so on.
The blinding laser part. That’s so metal. Got my attention and cemented the information
Thanks! We are glad you found the video useful and entertaining!

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, we have shared this with our team!
Always check your equipment for transciever compatability. Many times theyre incompatable with their own OEM (IM LOOKING AT YOU HP ARUBA)
