ProLabs

ProLabs is a leading provider of optical network infrastructure and connectivity products including transceivers, direct attach cables, active optical cables, media converters, multiplexers, demultiplexers and fibre optic patch leads.
Carrying a lifetime warranty, ProLabs' top-quality OEM-compatible transceivers are standards-based and comply with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement). Fibre optic and copper (both single-mode and multi-mode) transceivers range from 100BASE-FX to 100Gb.
ProLabs has also recently released the world's first multicode transceiver meaning ISPs and Telco's can benefit from fully coded compatibility with three different vendors in just one optical device! The specially coded EEPROM means the transceivers can seamlessly communicate with vendor devices from Cisco, Juniper, ADVA, Ciena, Arista to name a few.
Hardware Distribution strives to help its customers avoid vendor lock-in by offering multi-vendor solutions. The compatibility of ProLabs' products across over 40 vendors and 20,000 systems supports this multi-vendor approach.
The fast and responsive service we rely on from ProLabs also means we can deliver solutions to our customers when we say we will without fear of being let down by our supplier.
