Finding the Affordable Used Test Equipment in a Weak Economy

The economy as we all know is not getting much better and for a lot of small fiber optic companies you need resources.  I have written articles about how to sell your used test equipment, how to find affordable fusion splicers etc. Let’s talk about how to go about finding test equipment and the options that you have.

First and foremost you could hire a broker to find the used test equipment for you. Great part about this is that they have many options and dealers that they can go through. Problem though they will sell the equipment for a marked up price so that they can receive some sort of money for playing the middle man.

You could go directly to auction houses to try and find the right type of used test equipment you are looking for. Great part about this is that you will possibly pick up a great piece of test equipment. Problem is that you are bidding against others and the condition of the equipment is in an as is form. It could work or it could not. Do you have a technician on staff that would be able to test the equipment? Do you have the budget to have someone take the time to do this?

The Best option that I feel as I am writing this is to find a company who specializes in used test equipment. Here are some guidelines to follow:

  • Do they have a fully trained staff of technicians that test all of the equipment that comes into our warehouse.
  • Do they have a sales staff that will be able to guide you in the right direction
  • Is their website set up to be user friendly or will you get lost in a maze of confusion.
  • Do they offer some type of warranty on all equipment that customers purchase.

There are many sites that  do have a large selection of fiber optic test equipment. Below you will find a list of some of the best sites that I have found, here are a few of them:

testequipmentconnection.com they offer a wide array of fiber optic products, with over 16 years of sales and service there is no doubt in my mind they can help you find what you need.

testequity.com another great used test equipment website that offers many used fiber optic test equipment products at discount prices. They carry all the major manufacturers, and have been meeting customers needs since 1971.

valuetronics.com they buy and sell used and refurbished test equipment. They even have a Cash For Clunker trade-in program. Give this company a shot to earn your business.

Keep in mind with changing global economy used test equipment is in much higher demand. Companies cannot afford to pay the high prices for new equipment. Price, quality and availability are the driving factors for the small and larger fiber optic companies. You know the importance of FTTH and FTTx if you are a contractor or installer you know the importance of winning that bid. Now is the time to ask yourself if you have the right test equipment and supplies for the job. Do you?
