Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cisco Refresh?

Since 2001, Cisco has sold its high-quality remanufactured products—originally under the name Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment (or CCRE)—and now as Cisco Refresh. From initial inspection and testing to cleaning and packing, only Cisco—the original manufacturer—can truly remanufacture its products to the highest level.

When should I consider Cisco Refresh?

Cisco Refresh products are ideal as a standalone solution. However, the value is even greater when blended into a solution with new Cisco equipment. Cisco Refresh works especially well in the following scenarios:

• Constrained budget: When budget is limited, Cisco Refresh provides the maximum flexibility in procuring the technology you need. Cisco Refresh products provide a cost-effective solution as individual product needs or can be combined with new Cisco products in a larger solution to reduce the overall cost and meet even the most challenging procurement requirements.

• Product availability: Cisco maintain a large inventory of older and end-of-sale models needed to maintain installed network configurations or to optimize IT resources between planned migrations or upgrades. Its inventory of current models provides a solution if new product availability cannot accommodate your delivery requirements.

• Compliance with corporate “green” requirements: Remanufactured equipment provides a tangible green solution to help customers address corporate “green” initiatives. Cisco Refresh uses less energy to remanufacture and helps to extend the useful life of Cisco products.

What types of Cisco Refresh products are available?

Cisco carries over 6,500 active and end-of-sale products (no longer available new but with at least one year of support available from Cisco Technical Assistance Center [TAC]). Its inventory includes products from all technology areas, including switching, routing, wireless, IP telephony, security, and other advanced technologies.

What is certified remanufactured equipment?

Certified Remanufactured equipment is pre-owned product that has had critical software and hardware upgrades made and has been thoroughly tested and retested to meet stringent manufacturers specifications. Certified Remanufactured equipment meets the same quality standards that you would expect from a new product.
