We review a classic problem: How to terminate Cat5 cable at a keystone jack. Our speaker, Daniel, takes the viewer through all of the steps and techniques that should be used to complete this tedious, yet important, task. Daniel had no experience with Cat5e cable coming into production of the video, but you can see that with a little practice, even a novice can install Ethernet correctly. What else can I say that the video cant say for itself?

FireFold has always held the belief that if we have better prices and better service than the competition, our products will sell themselves. Our success has proven this to be true, but not without exception. We realize that a potential customer won’t purchase something if they don’t know what it is or how to use it, even if it will improve their life. For this reason, we have started production on a series of HighDef instructional videos related to some of the more technologically complex products on our website.

Fox 18 Charlotte decided to pay a visit to FireFold last week to discuss a new website called Ziggs.com.

The website allows members to see when they are looked up in Google, and the location they were Googled from. Some internet users were rightly worried about the security of their web browsing, and the experts at FireFold helped explain the issue to Fox’s Morgan Fogarty.

In a followup report on wireless internet vulnerabilities, FOX News came to FireFold to speak with company CEO Chris Grouse. FOX wanted to give viewers more information about how hackers actually go about stealing internet access. Chris took reporter Morgan Fogarty to a gated community to show how many wireless access points could be found. They picked up plenty of access points, including a few unsecured ones, without even going through the gates. Once a hacker has found an unsecured wireless router, they are free to do whatever they want with near perfect anonymity. It is really just as simple as connecting to your wireless internet at home, and it is nearly impossible to track down an offender. A hacker on an open wireless network is free to commit crimes like downloading pirated content or child pornography without reprocussion. Worst of all, innocent people are getting caught up in these cyber crimes, getting blamed for the actions of hackers.
