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!

Chief Executive Officer / RoyaleHosting B.V.

The FLEXBOX has been an amazing tool for our Equinix AM5 deployments, we have used many brands previously however the FLEXBOX was superior right from the start, especially when working in the datacenter and not needing to hold my laptop in my hand but my phone, which is just amazing for rapid deployments.
Looking forward to keep using the FLEXBOX in the future! :)

We are realy happy with the FLEXBOX, programming FLEXOPTIX universal transceivers works like a charm.Just insert, detect, select and start programming, now we are able to support hundreds off vendors with just a few standard SFP modules.Amazing smart solution!

Gregory Baer
CEO / World-Connect Sàrl

As an IT company specializing in the installation of network equipment, we've found FLEXBOX by FLEXOPTIX to be an invaluable tool. Its versatility across various transceivers and user-friendly interface has made our job easier and more efficient.
One of the most impressive aspects of FLEXBOX is the reusability of the transceivers. This feature allows us to reconfigure and reuse the transceivers as needed, offering unprecedented flexibility and cost savings.
The performance is robust, and FLEXBOX has not only saved us time but also provided a cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality.
In summary, FLEXBOX by FLEXOPTIX is a must-have tool for anyone in the networking field. We wholeheartedly recommend it and give it a five-star rating.

CTO / SGN d.o.o.

After many years of using clumsy EEPROM programmers, soldering irons, hammers etc. to make SFP modules work properly, now FLEXBOX allows me to do the same thing in a fraction of time. I only hope my boss doesn't find out I have so much free time now!

Stefan Kirbes
System Administrator / INTERCOM Austria GmbH

I personally did not know FLEXOPTIX yet, but since I got in contact with it the first time, I do not want to miss it anymore. Very good product. I like the ability to program them to vendor specific SFPs which are recognized as they would be original ones. If the hardware behind changes I can simply change the SFPs to new vendor specific ones.
Thank you for such a great product.

Matthias Götz
Managing Director / Blue Taurus GmbH & Co. KG

We use FLEXOPTIX modules for years with different networking hardware. Amazing and very stable products without any issues. Preparing a big network project with several switch vendors it was time to do the next step and order a FLEXBOX. Now we can be much more flexible that before and the provided tools are fast, stable, easy to use and as stable as all other FLEXOPTIX producs. All in all - highest recommendation!

Jeffrey Bosma
Sr. System & Network Engineer / XS News

Before we knew FLEXOPTIX, we always stocked various types of transceivers from different brands. Now, several years later, we have completely switched to FLEXOPTIX's universal transceivers since we can simply brand these ourselves using the FLEXBOX. Along with their broad product range and very fast shipping, they are an awesome company to deal with!

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.

It's just a genius device. So easy to use and simple! I would recommend it to every network engineer. Plug-in the module, program and its ready for deployment!

You guys rock! I have had the opportunity to use the previous version of FLEXBOX with my previous company. I cannot believe the progress you have made just in a year. Battery pack? Mobile reconfiguration? I am truly feeling lucky to have met you guys at Cloudfest. I will be honoured to demonstrate your products to startups as great examples to contribute to tech sustainability.

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!!
