Captain Picard, Isolation Gowns Launched, Fiber Cables, and Buying Pre-owned Cisco <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Happy Monday!<\/em><\/strong>

Did you know that Jean Luc Picard is back in a new series \u201cStar Trek: Picard<\/a>\u201d? I just finished season one a few weeks ago and it\u2019s fantastic. A friend said \u201cI would listen to Patrick Stewart read the phone book\u201d. I grew up watching Next Generation and I agree. After I finished Picard, while I am waiting for a new season, I heard about and started watching Star Trek: Discovery<\/a>. Also fantastic! VERY fantastic! I just finished the last episode of season 2 over the weekend. So then I said hmm \u2026 what now? I never thought I would do this \u2026. I started watching the original series! I am only a few episodes in but it\u2019s cool to see where it all started! I was shocked to find out there were only three seasons of the original show. So, it won\u2019t take long to get through them and then figure out where to go from there. I may try to watch it all chronologically, including all the movies. If you haven\u2019t seen the new shows I highly recommend them!

Believe it or not, at CablesAndKits, even though safety supplies have been in the spotlight lately, our primary business is technology. For most of our 19 years in business we have been focused in two major areas: Pre-owned and fully refurbished (by us) Cisco Network Hardware (Switches<\/a>, Transceiver modules<\/a>, Cisco Phones<\/a>, etc) and Network infrastructure (Ethernet<\/a>, Fiber Cabling<\/a>, Power Cords<\/a>, etc). Let me tell you a couple things that might change your life \u2026

There is very little reason to buy Cisco Transceivers<\/a> \u201cnew\u201d from a Cisco partner \/ distributor (\u201cthe channel\u201d). With the newest switches and firewalls and such, if you want \u201cSmartNet\u201d coverage, there are reasons why you might want to buy from the channel. Not so for transceivers. It is a pluggable module that has no \u201csoftware\u201d on it and cannot be covered by SmartNet independently anyway (it is covered by whatever device it is installed in at the time). You can pay $400-600 for one from the channel, or you can buy one pre-owned from us for $35-150 each.<\/em><\/strong> Pre-owned can mean \u201cpre-loved\u201d, tested, and refurbished, or it can mean brand new never used in the box. Think of it like this\u2026. You bought 100 switches and 100 (or more) transceivers to deploy on a project and ended up with too many. You can\u2019t return them to Cisco, so you sell them to someone like us. We offer them to our customers at a huge savings over buying from the channel. Another scenario is you install a transceiver, use it for months, weeks, or days, and remove and replace it with a different model. You sell that to us, we test it, clean it, and offer it for sale at a huge savings. In both cases we provide a LIFETIME warranty<\/a> on these products and a 30 day satisfaction guarantee<\/a>. What do you have to lose? (The money you are wasting elsewhere, that\u2019s what).

The most common Cisco transceiver bought today is the SFP-10G-SR<\/a>. You can view the buying options and if you have ANY questions just let us know. If you are nervous about pre-owned, buy new. But I have been doing this 19 years and strongly suggest you buy the pre-owned. If nothing else, buy one and check it out. Back orders are ok \u2013 we have PLENTY of these in our supply chain. If you have any needs whatsoever, let us know and a sales rep can help you navigate the options, help you plan your options and delivery dates, etc.

We mastered fiber cabling<\/a> many many years ago. We have three factories in China where our fiber cables are made and we receive shipments every day. In fact, our supply chain is so well oiled that we order fiber on Monday and it is manufactured and in the building on Thursday. (and Tue->Friday, Wed and Thur->Monday, etc). We have basic and premium options for fiber and our premium cables use Corning Fiber cores and upgraded connectors. Not only can you save a pile of money over the big name brands, you can work with people that can get you anything you need, when you need it.

This link will take you to a 1 Meter, OM3 (10 Gig), LC to LC Standard boot Premium fiber cable<\/a>. It (and the basic version) is our best seller. From there you can change the different options to get what you need. And, if you want OM4 or OM5 (people do buy them but you\u2019ll KNOW it when you need them) you can navigate to those pages in the top level navigation menu. You can order as many as you need and if they are not in stock they will ship in 3-5 days so order up! And as always, let us know if you have any questions at all.

I could go on and on about the things we sell, and I will try to fit in a product group here or there, but I figured it was my duty to at least mention a few of our top selling product lines! I\u2019ll talk about other product lines and points of interest in future emails. If you have any questions let me know and I can also try to answer some of those in this email.
I\u2019ve refactored the way the email is laid out, and I am sure I will refactor it 100 times in the future. I want to be verbose at times, but I don\u2019t want to let something sit stale day after day if I can help it.
