Outfitting Your Home Office

I am always running into work at home business people and bloggers who have problems downloading from the net, making their systems run fast enough, or it crashes. Most of the problem is because they have not invested in good cables and equipment for their hardware.

I've said this a million times. You can have the fastest Internet hookup and a dual-core processor, but if you have a $5 cord purchased at the local grocery store...then you won't have speed...because the cords will not be able to handle the load.

There is a big difference between CAT5e couplers and the ones found at the local store. I have a hard time understanding why people do not understand this; You wouldn't trust your business to a cheap computer with a no-name processor; but you trust your computer to an untested cord bought at a dollar store. Something to consider.
