FAQS

What is Kinvergent Investment Protection?

Should you ever change hardware manufacturers, we will recode and test your Kinvergent optics to work with your new manufacturer’s hardware, saving you from having to repurchase optics. (Nominal charges apply. Available for most optics.)

Will using Kinvergent compatible optics void my manufacturer’s warranty?

No, the use of non-OEM products/accessories is protected under the FTC’s Magnuson-Moss Act/Tie-in Sales Provisions. Basically, OEMs like Cisco cannot void your warranty…so don’t let them tell you otherwise!

What is the warranty?

Lifetime Warranty. In the rare instance a Kinvergent compatible optic may fail, it will be advance replaced free of charge, for as long as you own it.

What are the different operating temperature ranges available for Kinvergent optics?

Optics are typically available in 3 different operating temperature ranges:

  1. Commercial (COM): 0 to 70° C (standard for OEM 10Gig optics)

  2. Extended (EXT): 0 to 85° C (standard for all Kinvergent 10Gig optics)

  3. Industrial (IND): -10 to 85° C

Why doesn’t Kinvergent charge more for extended (EXT) temperature 1Gig, 10Gig optics like the OEMs?

Simple. It’s about your peace of mind and not our bottom line. We understand today’s high density data centers and remote networking closets aren’t always optimally cooled, which only emphasizes the need for a more rugged optic to carry your most critical data.

What if a manufacturer doesn’t offer a specific solution needed in my network ie: distance requirements, etc.?

Kinvergent can provide configurations that include custom distance transceivers, custom length DACs (Direct Attach Cables) and AOCs (Active Optical Cables), specific CWDM and DWDM options, and Hybrid DAC and AOCs (each end uniquely coded to work in the equipment it’s being plugged into)
