CISCO EXCESS

We distribute original Cisco Excess / Cisco Wholesale channel equipment.

What is Cisco Excess?

While most Cisco products are sold new through traditional Authorised Channels, occasionally, Cisco ends up with excess product inventory that still has a useful life, but with limited demand from traditional Authorised Channels. This is why Cisco have created an Excess Product channel (previously known as Wholesale) to sell at significant discounts. This stock consists of products from over-production, canceled corporate orders, warehouse rotations, expired leasing contracts and demo models. This hardware is classified as surplus to Cisco’s distribution channel and meant for resale to a selected group of companies.
