IDEAL Networks has announced the launch of Test4Less, a suite of products, services and payment methods to help companies installing and testing data cabling and networks to reduce capital expenditure, increase productivity and improve cash flow.
“Companies investing in multiple certifiers face the issue of increased expenditure and reduced ROI,” says Tim Widdershoven, Global Marketing Manager at IDEAL Networks. “We’ve also found that several businesses have invested in a new fleet of certifiers which now require an expensive upgrade to new models due to certifier discontinuation by the manufacturer.”
The range of Test4Less solutions has been specifically developed by IDEAL Networks to address the common frustrations of data cable installers and systems integrators and provide cost-effective solutions to help them overcome these challenges.
“The research showed that high capital expenditure for cable certifiers is an issue for many, as it reduces cash flow and offers a low ROI. Cable installers require a certifier such as a LanTEK® III on 25% of their cable installations typically and on the remainder a less expensive cable transmission tester, such as SignalTEK® CT or SignalTEK NT, could be used. With this approach, businesses could reduce capital expenditure on testers by up to 57%” explains Tim.
Time and money can be wasted where certifiers are shared between technicians due to their high cost. This approach removes the need for this, as companies can afford to equip every technician with a SignalTEK unit.
Test4Less includes a ‘Pay as you Test’ option to transform a certifier fleet from a capital investment into an operational expense. Test credits for the LanTEK III cable certifier can be purchased in batches and topped up as needed. Businesses can opt for either a free on loan certifier agreement or to purchase the certifier with an additional initial up-front payment. It could cost just £2,750 up-front for a new cable certifier with the ‘Pay as you Test’ options.
To help protect data cable installers from unforeseen costs and reduce downtime, IDEAL Networks has also launched the Sapphire Care Plan. This includes free annual calibration to maintain accuracy, free loan units during calibration to reduce downtime, free shipping to reduce costs, and a selection of free replaceable accessories each year to reduce cost of ownership.
