Spending a few minutes of my time, first and foremost expressing how much I’m impressed by your friendliness, is the least I can do. Friendliness was followed by super-fast order processing and delivery. In a few words, unboxing and using your FLEXBOX is an utterly awesome experience. As in brilliant. Also saving us loads of time ordering optics. In addition to all of this – you deliver particular good build quality, too. You’ve got me impressed, thank you!

Programming FLEXOPTIX modules with the portable FLEXBOX took only a few minutes with an Android phone. No need for a laptop to quickly reprogram on-site.The app is very intuitive, no-nonsense and very fast.
We deployed the first BiDI LX modules and DAC-Cables in our Cisco equipment without any issues. This makes life so much easier in the field!

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!

Michal Szarecki
IT Engineer / PM IT SOLUTIONS

I wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback regarding the on-site programming capabilities of your FLEXOPTIX product. I must say that being able to program SFPs on-site according to our specific requirements has been an incredibly valuable feature for our network infrastructure. The convenience and efficiency it offers have exceeded our expectations.
One of the standout benefits we have experienced is the rapid deployment it enables. Being able to respond quickly to changing network needs without having to wait for orders from different vendors has significantly reduced our deployment time. This has improved our operational efficiency and allowed us to be more agile in meeting our organization's evolving demands.
Moreover, the cost savings we have achieved through on-site programming have been remarkable. By eliminating the need to order pre-configured SFPs from various vendors, we have saved on shipping costs, streamlined our inventory management, and bypassed vendor-specific pricing structures. This flexibility has positively impacted our budgeting and overall equipment expenses.
This is simply a brilliant idea and product! Thank you!

We will now be able to source all our SFPs from a single vendor without having to worry about the configuration. That translates to peace of mind and huge flexibility. Well done guys!

IT-Sysadmin / Eftalia GmbH

I have been able to work with the FLEXBOX and FLEXOPTIX transceivers since my training and I am thrilled to report that these products (and the support!) are the result of careful thought and consideration down to the very last detail. The FLEXBOX is absolutely brilliant! It makes programming transceivers a breeze. And with firmware, you can even reprogram the transceivers and use them in other devices in different scenarios. So no transceivers have to be left in the corner :)
Thank you FLEXOPTIX and please keep up the good work!

Very easy to use and quick too. I particularly like the ability to use the same configuration on a number of transceivers just by ticking a box - a real time saver.

Using FLEXBOX and FLEXOPTIX transceivers mean for us Flexibility. We don’t use so much transceivers but we work with different brands each day.With a small amount in stock we can configure them with the right specifications for each use. Assuring it will perfectly fit the requirements of our equipments and costs are also reduced considerably.Setting up either the FLEXBOX and a transceiver on a computer or through the mobile app is just easy as 1,2,3. It tooks us less than 15 minutes between unboxing and using a transceiver.We really appreciate the mobile option so we can have the FLEXBOX in one hand, a transceiver in the other one and the phone with the app in the pocket for programming on the field.Thanks FLEXOPTIX for this really useful tool and for extending supported vendors in the future.
