What customers say

Axel Hauguel
CEO / Dyjix

We heard about FLEXOPTIX for the quality of its FLEXBOX and optics.We were able to acquire a FLEXBOX to help out our customers. The quality of the product leaves us speechless. We are immediately going to change optics supplier to FLEXOPTIX. The quality is excellent.

Christian Brasolin
Senior System Engineer / Netica SRL

Working with a lot of different vendor and devices, it is always a problem to find the compatible transceiver from different distributors and especially to ensure that it is really compatible. I have found FLEXOPTIX, and the FLEXBOX and I must say that this is awesome! We can now simply buy generic transceivers and program them with the FLEXBOX and the FLEXOPTIX App. The application is fantastic and very easy to use! This makes us save a lot of time and no more concern about the compatibility.

Erwin ter Hofstede
CEO / EC-Hosting

In our test environment we use the optics over and over in many devices. Programming optics with the FLEXBOX is as easy as 1,2,3!

Denis Kempeneers
Network Consultant / Global Network SRL

I had the chance to flash my first transceiver with the FLEXBOX and also navigate through the different tools on the Windows App. I must say that I’m impressed by the flexibility and available features provided by this app and the FLEXBOX. I flashed a 1G LX optic to be compatible with a HP switch in production (Aruba Networks(ex. HP Network) / J4858A) and the switch immediately recognized the plug freshly configured. I can know count on my FLEXBOX for the future transceivers I’ll need to install/replace. Also, the optic measurement is a very good feature.

Managing Director / Allegro Packets GmbH

The FLEXBOX allows us to use 100MBit/s to multi-gigabit transceivers in our product for a wide range of customer needs. We can not solve them without this magic box!

Nick Derksen
Infrastructure Engineer / Previder B.V

We use “FLEXBOX” and “FLEXOPTIX” for a few years now. Since then life is much easier. And even saved me sometimes in the middle of the night. Need a special vendor or type, plug it in, program, and done.  Very… but very occasionally a compatibility is not present in the system. Just drop a e-mail to support with your needs  to get an immediate response from “JIRA – the FLEXOPTIX robot” and your compatibility is added to your FLEXBOX within 24 hours. Just awesome!!

Miguel Bérniz
Chief Technical Officer / GibFibre Ltd

Definitely, FLEXOPTIX will be my optics supplier from today. The ability to compatibilize optics across multiple vendors is going to save us from many headaches. The FLEXBOX is a must for any company using optical network equipment.

René Oskar Kühne
IT support / R.O. Kuehne

The FLEXBOX is really a great tool. It allows me to quickly re-configure transceivers. Nice additional feature is the "Power Meter & Source" tool. It allows, without additional hardware, a quick check of optical transceivers, fiber cables, fiber connections etc.

Terji Leitisstein Hansen
RAN Manager / Vodafone FO

When in possession of the FLEXBOX it becomes and indispensable tool in general, and also specifically in managing remote Mobile Base Stations fiber connectivity.Using the FLEXBOX either with PC or Smartphone is really plug and play with no annoying incompatibility issues at all.The FLEXBOX together with ease of order and superior delivery times makes it literally unnecessary for us having any significant SFP stock.

Christian Seitz

With the FLEXBOX we’re able to use our Transceivers universally in all kind of equipment and reduce the stock keeping significantly. Just awesome!
