Condition Guidelines
The condition of refurbished and pre-owned network switches can vary depending on previous use, installation environment and configuration, so we aim to provide clear and accurate information to help you make an informed decision.
Please read the product title, description, model number and photographs carefully before purchasing. Any known faults, defects, missing parts, damaged ports, configuration limitations or other important condition information will be stated in the listing where identified.
Wherever possible, we include multiple photographs and highlight any noticeable marks, scratches, dents, casing damage, broken clips, damaged ports, missing covers or other defects. The photographs form an important part of the product description and should be reviewed carefully before purchase.
Refurbished and pre-owned switches may show signs of previous rack installation and use, including marks, scratches, scuffs, rack wear, label residue, minor dents, wear around ports or mounting points, and other cosmetic imperfections.
Any known issues affecting network ports, uplink ports, SFP/SFP+ interfaces, PoE functionality, fans, power supplies, displays, buttons or general operation will be clearly stated in the product description where identified.
PoE & Port Configuration
Please check the exact model number and specification carefully before purchasing. On some switches, only certain ports support PoE, while other ports may be standard non-PoE network ports. PoE capability, PoE standard and available power budget can also vary between models and configurations.
Network Speed
Please also confirm the supported port speeds from the exact model number and advertised specification. Switches may include a mixture of 10/100 Mbps, Gigabit, 2.5GbE, 10GbE or other port speeds, and uplink ports may operate at a different speed to the main network ports.
Please do not assume that SFP modules, transceivers, stacking cables, rack ears, power supplies, power cables, console cables or other accessories are included unless they are shown in the photographs or specifically stated in the product description.
Where the item shown is not the exact unit you will receive, the supplied switch will be the same model or advertised specification and in the same or a very similar overall condition unless otherwise stated.
Please ensure that the exact model number, product description and specifications have been checked carefully before purchasing. In particular, please confirm the required port speeds, number of PoE-enabled ports and any uplink or SFP requirements, as these can vary significantly between visually similar switch models.
If you require clarification regarding condition, PoE capability, port speeds, included accessories or compatibility, please contact us prior to purchase.
