The CK Daily – Warranty Horror Stories
Happy Friday, folks! I want to rant a bit about how some companies handle warranty redemptions. I recently read the article “…home warranty horror stories” on clark.com, and it seems like some companies that provide these are looking for a way to say no to the customer, which is appalling! You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops and promise your firstborn to redeem a warranty.
This brings me to my question. Have you used our Lifetime Warranty?
Every order from CablesAndKits INCLUDES a Lifetime Warranty in the purchase price. We know you wear many hats, so we’ve made the Warranty Claim process as simple as possible. All you need is the serial number from the unit or the order number (in the case of cabling). We’ll advance ship a replacement out (same day in most cases). This warranty even covers hard drives, power supplies, and fans. If you’ve ever managed a server, then you know those three items fail the most often. We’ve got your back!
Don’t just take our word for it; here is what Troy said recently: “Quick response and no hassle to replace a bad switch. I have used Cables And Kits for years in my home lab and in my work network. I would highly recommend them.”
Have a great weekend!
Chris

Learning Center Article – Should I upgrade from 3750X switch to the 3850 Series switch?
Cisco has established its brand through consistency, innovation and performance. It’s no accident that the Cisco name remains one of the most recognizable and respected brands in networking. Even though the Cisco label is enough to inspire certain confidence in the quality of their products, it’s not always enough to determine which device really is the best option for a given network.
When considering high-level, enterprise networks, there are a number of viable switches that can handle the workload. Two of those switches are the 3750X and the 3850X. The former has been around for close to a decade, and it still remains relevant in many active networks. Is it time to upgrade to the newer 3850X switch? Hopefully, this breakdown can help you answer that question.
