What should you look for in a warranty? Check for what is left out. Many warranties are limited, in the most literal sense. Lucent Technologies gives you written assurance of the three things most important to you.

The SYSTIMAX warranty covers defective products, plus the labor cost of fixing the problem, plus a guarantee that SYSTIMAX Structured Connectivity Solution will meet or exceed all EIA/TIA 568-A and ISO/IEC IS 11801 standards.

You want more? Here's another bonus: We will also warrant that your SYSTIMAX Solution will exceed the loss and bandwidth requirements for fiber links -- and exceed EIA/TIA requirements for attenuation and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for cable links/channels -- for 15 years. And now, we take this warranty a step further with our new GigaSPEED™ and OptiSPEED™ Channel Solution product and applications assurance, which are warranteed for 20 years.

No Vague Promises. We Put It All in Writing.

Your warranty is as carefully designed and built as your SYSTIMAX solution. You'll receive a performance of each application listed. We warrant not only generic applications, but also a host of vendor-specific applications that have passed rigorous testing on SYSTIMAX systems by the scientists of Bell Laboratories.

We even warrant the performance of applications you might install in the future. For the next 15 years (20 for a GigaSPEED or OptiSPEED solution), we'll warrant the performance of any application you install that meets component and link/channel specs (TIA/EIA 568-A, TSB-67 or ISO/IEC IS 11801) -- so you won't have to re-certify the installation.

What You Should Expect From a Warranty Is What You Get From Lucent Technologies

• Protection for every rupee you've invested in your critical cabling system -- including not only the products, but the cost of replacing defective products for a full 15 years (20 for a GigaSPEED Solution).
• Guarantees of both product quality and performance that will meet or exceed recognized standards.
• Written assurance that all standards-compliant applications you need today -- and in the future -- will meet written performance specifications.
• Assured ability to upgrade, expand or introduce new applications easily without costly administrative moves and rewiring.
• Reliability of a system designed, manufactured, installed and maintained by a team of highly trained, certified specialists - who will always be there when you need them.
• Security of a warranty directly backed by Lucent Technologies -- one of the world's largest and most respected telecommunications manufacturers.

You Don't Need Just Parts. You Need a Total Solution.

Our comprehensive warranty is just one of the many ways Lucent Technologies is working to simplify your life. All our products are designed and tested by Bell Laboratories, then built using ISO 9001-certified procedures. And every one of our resellers completes a comprehensive training curriculum, and must be re-certified every two years.

Looking into the future, Lucent Technologies is developing the next generation of high performance systems, with demonstrated gigabit speed on our new GigaSPEED copper channel solution, gigabit OptiSPEED fiber optic networks, and further advancements in WaveLAN® wireless connectivity.
