Tired of paying big money for your Cisco product?  Is there a way to buy original quality Cisco- warranted product without wreaking havoc on your IT budget? The answer is YES!  As an Authorized Cisco Partner we recommend you to consider purchasing Cisco product from Cisco’s own Certified Refurbished Programs and save up to 70% off the original Cisco list price.
	OK, by now you may be asking yourself what exactly is the Cisco Certified Refurbished Program and how do I obtain access to it? Quite simply, It is made up of literally thousands of Cisco original new and returned items that Cisco has thoroughly inspected, tested, repaired (if necessary), upgraded to current engineering releases and IOS software and then repackaged and sold with the same warranty as brand new Cisco product. All Cisco Certified Refurbished products are sold exclusively through Cisco’s Authorized Partner network. Of course, CPAC also offers nearly the entire Cisco portfolio of brand new product as well --- we just like to offer our clients more than one solution when they are ready to purchase. Beware!: Items purchased from a source outside the Cisco Partner network may not be eligible for Cisco warranty replacement or support. Protect your investment and network by only purchasing Cisco product from an Authorized Cisco Reseller.

Typically Cisco Certified Equipment is comprised of one of the following categories:

1. End-of-life goods:  This is new product that has been discontinued because Cisco has introduced another model to take its place. Priced considerably less then when it was originally offered it still carries a full Cisco warranty.
   
   
2. Returned product:  This is comprised of items that may have been incorrectly purchased or experienced a problem when put into operation.
   All of this equipment is returned to the original Cisco assembly facility and is thoroughly tested and having any failed parts replaced.  All items come with their full original Cisco warranty.
   
   
3. Cisco Demo Product:  Items that Cisco offered as demo units or were used by Cisco in their marketing efforts.  Again, these items are sent back to the original Cisco assembly facility for testing prior to being offered for resale.
