Refurbished Switches at it4trade.com
At it4trade.com, we offer not only new but also refurbished switches from all manufacturers and series. Like all refurbished devices, our used switches are tested for full functionality, reset to factory settings, cleaned, and if necessary, repainted. We provide all refurbished switches complete with installation brackets, country-specific power cords, console cables, and blanking plates so that they can be put into operation by the customer immediately.
Same Performance for Less Cost
Refurbished network switches are a cost-effective and reliable alternative to new hardware for companies, government agencies, and public institutions working with limited budgets but cannot compromise on enterprise features and quality.
Replacement Devices Also Available After End-of-Sale (EoS/EoL)
Even if the end-of-sale date has long passed, refurbished devices are still available for a long time. Buy used switches as an inexpensive replacement for expensive manufacturer maintenance contracts.

In times of chip shortages and interrupted supply chains, more and more companies and government agencies are turning to used or refurbished IT hardware. Fast delivery times and high availability are decisive advantages when IT projects need to be completed on schedule.
