Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

Compact and powerful, the Extech EX450 Eight-Function True RMS Professional MultiMeter provides the versatility of multiple meters in one convenient device. The EX450 measures AC/DC voltage and current, resistance, diode, and temperature. It also includes a built-in, non-contact infrared thermometer that allows you to detect invisible hot spots, as well as a True RMS function for correcting any distortion from nearby electrical devices. A large, backlit display and 1-inch high digits allow for easy reading, while the ergonomically designed housing offers comfortable, one-handed operation.Eight Function Professional MultiMeter and IR ThermometerAt a Glance:Accurately performs eight basic and advanced measurementsBuilt-in non-contact infrared thermometer finds hot spots hidden to the eyeTrue RMS capability corrects for distortion from electronic devicesHigh contrast LED display with 1-inch numbers for easy viewingType K bead wire temperature probe for surface or air measurementsThree-year limited warranty on parts and laborFeatures eight meter functions for supreme convenience and versatility. View larger.Eight Functions in One Compact MeterThe EX450 offers multiple functions so professionals can carry one meter into the field instead of several. The auto-ranging EX450 measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, diode, and continuity, all with +/-0.5 percent basic accuracy. This unit has low current capability, measuring down to 0.1uA, and features input fuse protection and mis-connection warnings. A Type K thermometer is built in for surface or air temperature measurements.For greater convenience, the unit comes with a multi-position tilt stand, a Velcro strap for hanging, and a protective holster with handy test lead holder. CAT III test leads are included.Built-In Non-Contact Infrared ThermometerFind hot spots quickly and safely, even when they're invisible, with the built-in non-contact infrared thermometer. The convenient thermometer has no cables or probes to connect, break, or lose. Just point and shoot, and you get the results in seconds. The laser pointer helps you make sure that the invisible problem spots you're measuring line up exactly with what you can see. The thermometer has an eight-to-one distance to target ratio, allowing measurements in areas that are normally difficult or unsafe to reach.True RMS Prevents Distortion from Electronic DevicesIt can be very difficult to make accurate current and voltage readings in industrial and commercial applications when electronic devices are present. Fluorescent lights, motor drives, computer power supplies, and other electronic systems can distort the AC waveform, making it hard for averaging meters to get an accurate read. True RMS uses a more advanced formula to compensate for this kind of distortion.Backlit LCD Screen For Clear ReadingReadings on the EX450 are displayed on a large, backlit LCD screen with easy-to-read, 1-inch-tall digits. The 2,000-count screen offers high resolution over wide ranges, and features data hold to "freeze" information on the screen for longer viewing. To preserve your batteries, the unit also features an auto power-off.Durable, Comfortable Body with Useful AccessoriesThis meter is ergonomically designed and weighs less than 1 pound, so it offers a comfortable grip for one-handed operation. It measures a slim 7-2/5 by 3-1/5 by 2 inches (H x W x D), and uses one 9-volt battery.Product and Warranty InformationThe Extech EX450 Eight-Function True RMS Professional MultiMeter is backed by a manufacturer's three-year limited warranty on parts and labor. The multimeter is UL and CE listed.What's in the BoxMultimeter, CAT III test leads, stand, strap, holster with built-in test lead storage, Type K bead wire temperature probe, battery, and owner manual.
Comes with: CAT III test leads, Multi-position tilt stand and hanging strap, Protective holster with test lead holder, Bead wire temperature probe (except 450), and 9V battery.

Not All Cable is Created Equal
Not All Cable is Created Equal
Cheap Cable – cost effective solution or disaster in the making?
We all know that a structured cabling system is the most vital part of a network infrastructure. It is important to realize however, that saving a few bucks by selecting a second-rate cable or manufacturer is a commonly made mistake during network construction. While some cable manufacturers may offer what seems to be the same cable for half the price, remember that old saying: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you are being offered the same category and length of cable for half of what you usually pay, logic alone should tell you that the quality has to differ just as much as the price does. By that same token, just because a cable is more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean that it is of better quality. It is important to understand the difference between overpaying for a cable and underpaying for a cable that has the bare bones minimum requirements (if that) to meet compliance standards. Quite possibly it will end up costing you more in the long run should you encounter problems with the cable. Times are tough, and it’s no secret that we are all looking to save money, it is essential however, to consider the total cost of ownership rather than just initial installation cost when it’s time to choose a cable manufacturer.
Are you really getting what you pay for?
Total cost of ownership includes:
- Initial cost of cable
- Installation cost
- Repair and Maintenance costs
- Testing costs
Even if it means spending a little more at the initial time of purchase, in the long run you will be saving yourself time, money, and the headache of dealing with bad cables. Without a warranty, and a reliable manufacturer to turn to, all the repair and replacement costs are left for you to pay for. The cost of tearing out and replacing bad cables far surpasses the cost of initially buying quality cables , and the savings gained by purchasing inferior cable will obviously be lost should you have to replace them. Don’t let yourself fall victim to a second rate cable. Look for a manufacturer that meets your budget and has positive feedback from other customers and installers. Don’t allow one of the lesser known online stores and manufacturers dupe you into buying low quality cable with their desirably below average prices.
Select a manufacturer that has:
- A Good reputation -
- Adheres to standards like UL,ISO 9001, TL 9000, ANSI, TIA, EIA, etc.
- Reasonable prices – Don’t shop with blinders look for value not just cost.
- Warranty available – Typical warranty is 20+ years if properly installed
Where does such awful cable originate?
Cheap, low quality cable is the result of a few contributing factors. First, the cost of materials has been on an incline over the past few years. Some shady manufacturers have used this as an excuse to skimp on copper usage during the manufacturing process. Cutting corners and using less copper has resulted in incorrect cable construction. There have also been reports of some manufacturers using materials other than copper as a cheaper alternative, such as steel or aluminum clad in copper. These factors can all result in a cable that is more prone failure even though it may look exactly the same. Some manufacturers will even forge a compliance stamp, category rating, and even fire rating onto the cable without actually meeting the compliance standards for that specific type of cable. Considering that more people are killed in fires by smoke inhalation rather than the fire itself, can you imagine the legal ramifications and risk to human life of a raging fire burning fake plenum rated cable and pumping toxic fumes throughout an office building?
What to Do
Do your research, and keep in mind that the cable that you buy is a long term investment that should be carefully selected.
Take a look at the cables below, can you see which cable is the imposter?
These are three different RG6 Coaxial Cables typically used in CCTV and residential video distribution. Two of them are from reputable cable manufactures and one is from a overseas manufacturer. While at first glance they may look the same, cables #1 & #3 are high quality cables with plentiful and tightly wound shielding members and larger cores. In contrast, the shielding on the overseas cable #2 is thin and used sparingly and feels like exactly what it is, substandard cable. The cable also lacks any marking denoting listing status or class type. In all likelihood, the cable never underwent any type of testing or certification for adherence to any performance or safety standards.
