FluxLight is the Best Solution
There are four main reasons to make Fluxlight your first choice in
Optical Transceivers, Parts and Cables:
            • 100% compatibility, performance and quality guaranteed
            • One of the nation's largest selections - including custom connections

Let's consider each of these points in detail...
 
 
1.  100% compatibility, performance and quality guaranteed
100% Compatible Guaranteed
All Fluxlight products are tested to industry standards exhaustively in our own modern on-site labs with switches and routers from all major OEM vendors. They are further verified by over 10,000 customers (many Fortune 500) that have proven repeatedly that they meet all compatibility and quality criteria--period.

Maximum Reach Testing  
In addition to compatibility testing, all Fluxlight products are verified to transmit over the maximum distance specified by the OEM vendor. The Fluxlight lab tests transmissions over 6 miles (10 km) of MMF and over 155 miles (250km) of SMF-- WAY beyond the specification of any transceiver used today.
Application Coverage
Fluxlight goes well beyond the standard SR, LR, ER and ZR optics most OEMs offer for their equipment (or just about any other 3rd party vendor)--offering specialty optical transceiver options like Bi-Directional (BIDIs), CWDM/DWDM, and ultra-long-reach (100+km) transceivers.
Custom Multi-vendor Cable Compatibility
OEM vendors have no incentive to provide cables that are compatible with their competitors--Fluxlight has no such limitation. Upon request, Fluxlight can program, label and switch cable ends to interconnect a Cisco DAC or AOC to HP (or almost any other type of connection between different vendors), which is something you will never get from an OEM vendor! They come fully tested, ready to install and still carry the Fluxlight 100% compatibility guarantee.
Free Day 30 Evaluation Samples
With the huge price disparity many can't can’t help but have a ‘if it sounds too good to be true….’ reaction. For this reason Fluxlight offers free evaluation product for up to 30-days so you can verify 100% compatible, quality and performance--even shipping is free. You have absolutely nothing to lose (and your budget will thank you).
2.  One of the nation's largest selections
All Vendors
Fluxlight’s extensive line covers all transceiver types offered by the large OEMs (e.g., Cisco, HP, Juniper, Brocade/Foundry, etc.) plus most 2nd & 3rd tier manufacturers of converged infrastructure gear.
All Form Factors 
While some form-factors are not being built into any new equipment (e.g., GBIC, X2, XENPAK), there are still tens of thousands of unfilled ports in customers networks. Fluxlight always keeps a ready supply of all popular transceivers in all form factors so all requests can be filled quickly.
All Speeds
Optical transceivers are available supporting speeds from 100Mbps to 40Gbps. The gear in customer networks are equipped with certain standardized optical transceiver slot. The speed of optical module that may be considered in a given application is largely a function of the types of slots in the gear they already own. Fluxlight’s line card cover the full range and continues to expand as new standards come on line.
All Reaches
Customer applications may require an optical link to go across a room, across town or sometimes 50+ miles. There is a substantial difference in price between these short, medium and long reach devices. The more exotic technologies are required for long reach drive those prices up while the high volume production of shorter reach interfaces drive those costs down. Fluxlight, the price performance leader in OEM compatible optical transceivers, has the right part at the right price for every customer application.
All In Stock
For a variety of reasons, many customers find themselves needing optical transceivers as quickly as possible to complete a project or fix an outage. Fluxlight maintains a full stock of all its inventory and fulfills over 99% of orders the same day.

4.  The nations’ #1 price performance leader
Cost plus pricing model
Rather than setting prices at a discount from the OEMs, FluxLight adds a margin onto its cost of manufacturing.  What is not made per customer is made up in overall volume--which is why Fluxlight sells to so many thousands of new and repeat customers.
Up to 90% less
OEM vendors charge between 8 to 15 times more for the exact same part.  In fact, many of Fluxlight parts are manufactured in the same plant using the same specifications. OEM vendors make massive profits propagating compatibility concerns that can be easily resolved through standards testing or by testing yourself with FluxLight’s free evaluation program.
Price matching guarantee
Fluxlight will match or beat any US-based vendor--period. Combine that with the 100% compatibility guarantee, the fast and knowledgeable lifetime support, free same day shipping, advance replacement policy, and extended warranty--and you can never lose.
Up to 30-60% less than other third party vendors
Because of the high volume, and the focus on optical components, Fluxlight continues to beat the price of other US-based 3rd party vendors by a wide margin.
100% new--never used
All FluxLight products are 100% guaranteed new. Never will you get "new" that is actually used or refurbished.
