Choosing the right care plan
To give installers complete protection from unforeseen costs , Ideal Networks has launched the new Sapphire Care Plan which helps minimise costs and maximise productivity when using LanTEK II / III cable certifiers .
In order to guarantee a low cost of ownership , selected replaceable wear parts are free with the Sapphire Care Plan . Installers can choose one replacement parts package every year , with options including permanent link adapter tips , CAT6A reference patch cords , CAT6 / 5e channel adapters , CAT6A channel adapter or batteries for the LanTEK II / III .
To maintain accuracy and compliance with international technical standards , such as ISO IEC 61935-1 and TIA 1152 , annual calibration is also included at no extra cost , alongside any software and firmware updates . To make sure productivity isn ’ t disrupted during calibration , a loan unit is delivered on the same day that the LanTEK II / III is collected .
To avoid downtime and delays during repair , as part of the Sapphire Care Plan , a loan tester is despatched within one working day of a fault being reported . Onsite collection and return delivery is also free of charge in the event that the LanTEK II / III requires repair or calibration , further keeping costs to a minimum .
Tim Widdershoven , global marketing manager at Ideal Network , said , ‘ We ’ ve introduced the Sapphire Care Plan to make life even easier for installers using a cable certifier . As an added benefit , the Sapphire Care Plan also includes free online training .
‘ This ensures that installers and their customers can benefit from maximum productivity and efficiency when using the LanTEK II / III certifier . In the event that technical support is needed , this can also be easily arranged at no charge with Ideal Networks ’ expert technicians .’ For further information visit : www . test4less . net / uk
