Computers…
I
f your computer suddenly loses data
or locks up, the culprit may be a worn
out or damaged LAN (local area net-
work) data coax cable—one that’s been
abused during one too many computer
moves.
If the cable is already damaged, get it
repaired or local purchase a new 10
base-2, 50-ohm coax cable assembly.
So don’t roughhouse the computer
during spring cleaning, office and work-
station moves or trips to the field.
If your cable isn’t damaged yet, do a
little PM and have your support shop
add some heat shrink tubing, NSN 5970-
00-032-0291, where the connector and
the cable meet.
It’s that bent, broken or twisted coax
cable that links you to the network
server and the information highway.
It gives you access to vital army
information on publications, supply
and maintenance, and to your e-mail.
