New-Surplus Switches

New-surplus switches are brand-new Cisco switches that are sold at a discounted price because they are in excess inventory. These switches are often unused, and unopened, and come with unregistered serials. Buying new-surplus switches can be an excellent way to save money on Cisco switches without sacrificing performance or reliability. However, it's essential to ensure that the switches you purchase are genuine Cisco products and not counterfeit or Gray market goods. This can be done by purchasing from reputable Cisco resellers like Flux IT Hardware.
