CEO Daily Update – 8.6.2020

August 6, 2020 by Craig Haynie

Super Savings on SFP-10G-SR | We want your Cisco hardware | Leadership


Happy Thursday!  

Welcome to the CablesAndKits CEO daily email. Read more about this email by scrolling to the very bottom. 

A customer replied to my email yesterday and said …  

OK Craig, I truly thought you were writing these emails simply for your health!!!!  

YOU: “because let’s face it, I don’t write this every day purely for my health!” 

…and here I thought you were the healthiest guy I know….haha 

I replied and said “You know … I DID lose 50lbs and I HAVE been writing these emails. Causation or correlation? Hmmmm”.  


Today’s Product Spotlight:  

SFP-10G-SR – You won’t find a better deal on such a staple networking item. You may be buying these by the box full, and you are probably paying way too much. CDW has these listed for $716 each. You can buy them BRAND NEW from us for $128 each, or pre-owned for $32!!  

How? Because we buy unused IT from companies like YOURS and resell it. We get great deals and pass those savings on. We get plenty of pre-owned hardware of course but we occasionally get NEW in the box hardware? Companies buy what ends up being more than they need, and of course you cannot return it to Cisco so it ends up being sold to people like us.  

And don’t worry – for pre-owned we fully test everything and include a LIFETIME warranty with advance replacement. You also have a full month to return your purchase for a refund!! (A few exceptions apply) 

We have way more available than what you see on the site (both qty and models) so reach out if you need something you don’t see. 

Can you name one good reason not to buy from us and save? If you think of one, email me.  


From Joe, our friendly Safety Supplies Product Marketer: 

Crickets. That’s all I hear. Joe is living it up somewhere and we don’t get so much as a card or a text. I hope he is enjoying himself but I am not ruling out the abduction angle.  

Let’s see … what shall I talk about today … Ooh I know …  

2 oz Sanitizer Spray Bottles – So you bought a big giant jug of liquid hand sanitizer and now what? Carry it around with you? (How would you do that anyway? I guess you could run your belt through the handle and wear it on your side for easy access?). Anyway, here is another option. We sourced these little spray bottles that you can fill and spritz as needed! Great for the car so you can spray surfaces, or for your purse (or pocketbook as I call it).  

Shoe Covers – Just an update – we have 150,000 shoe covers on the way. If you need them, let’s get an order booked so we can tie up some inventory for you. If you have an ongoing need, let’s talk!  

Desktop Sanitizer (or soap) dispenser – I almost forgot about this little guy. It was one of the first things I sourced overseas when all this mess started! You can use liquid or gel sanitizer (or even soap) and put it on the counter in the kitchen, on your desk, in the bathroom, or strap it to your arm for quick and easy access. ACTUALLY, you could strap it to your back side (using the belt again) so people BEHIND you have quick access to hand sanitizer. Do your part. And, with the gallon jug hanging from your belt you’ll be ready to refill at a moment’s notice.  


SPEAKING of how we buy hardware, we want to buy your unused hardware!  

Feel free to send us lists of anything you would like to get rid of, but here is a list of a few items we are consistently buying (which as you might have guessed, are top sellers). There are a LOT more items we purchase from customers like you regularly, but this is a good list to get your thinker thinking. Do you have any of these models laying around in your server room?

What is an SFP and How is it Used?

July 14, 2017 by Shanyce Watkins

UPDATE: Please visit the update and more indepth version of the “What is an SFP?” article in our new CK Learning Center.

Mayday, mayday. We have a problem! We have two switches who desperately want to talk to each other but the walls of their switch cabinets are restricting conversation and they are located 7 feet away from each other. Luckily there is a transceiver that can help us out: the small form-factor pluggable.

Does the Name Brand Really Matter?

June 6, 2017 by CablesAndKits

Any Costco fans out there?

I certainly am…for some things.  I am also the first to admit that it took most of my entire lifetime to arrive at that point.  There was just some unfounded stigma about using an item that wasn’t a name brand.  Not to mention, I didn’t want my guests to see anything in my cabinets like that.
