Brewery cord is a type of electrical cable consisting of two insulated conductors twisted around each other. It differs from typical household wiring and "cab tire" flexible wiring in that brewery cord has no outer insulating jacket enclosing the two conductors. It is normally made of 14 gauge wire - the same gauge used in North American 120V residential wiring for 15A power and lighting circuits.
The common use of brewery cord is for temporary lighting, where lamp-holders (e.g. "pigtail" types that consist of an insulated screw-base socket with two short leads for connection) can more easily be spliced on at any point along the cable than would be the case with jacketed cable types.

What is Voice Over IP and how do I use it?
Voice Over IP or Voice over Internet Protocol is a clever way of using the internet to make long distance phone calls. There are three different ways of using VoIP: computer-to-computer, ATA or IP phones. Through computer to computer, you simply need the software, a microphone and speakers to make calls to other computers. ATA stands for analog telephone adapter, which alows you to plug in a piece of hardware that connects your phone to your internet provider. There are also special IP phones you can purchase that look similar to regular phones but use an ethernet connector rather than a phone cord so that you do not require a special phone adapter.
