We believe that technology that works deserves more than one use. After all, just because business IT has already been in use or a new generation of products is available, that doesn’t mean its purpose has to end there. Tried-and-tested hardware can continue to fulfil its purpose reliably. That is precisely what we believe in: the value of existing technology and in enabling it to have a further phase of use.

At Cybertrading GmbH, we have therefore firmly embedded the reuse and professional refurbishment of second-hand network technology into our business model. In our own facilities, devices are tested, refurbished and prepared for their next deployment. In this way, we give business IT a second life whilst, at the same time, offering companies the opportunity to reuse tried-and-tested hardware in line with their technical requirements.

How does refurbishment work?

P·U·R·C·H·A·S·E

Thanks to our extensive network of purchasing sources, we are able to purchase used IT hardware from all over the world. From bulk deliveries to individual items, anything is possible. After purchase, the used goods are delivered to us and stored in one of our warehouses.

S·T·A·R·T

Our certified technicians check the devices in advance for mechanical and optical defects. External damage that impairs functionality is repaired later. In addition to visual tests, in which the network device is inspected for external damage or wear and tear, the mechanical components are examined for their condition and, especially in the case of older hardware, replaced due to wear and tear.

T·E·S·T·S

Function tests follow. Depending on the manufacturer and age of the device, power-on self-tests may be triggered, which run automatically and then output errors via a log. For older devices or chassis, however, complex tests are initiated manually. Finally, ports are checked for their interface function.

A·P·P·E·A·R·A·N·C·E

Major cosmetic defects, such as scratches or dents, are carefully repaired in our in-house paint shop and the devices are repainted in the original manufacturer's colors. Mechanical damage and worn parts are replaced or repaired. 

S·A·L·E·S

Only devices that function perfectly and have passed all our tests are approved for resale. In our modern logistics center, the purchased goods are carefully prepared for shipping, individually padded, and sent to you using one of our delivery services.

Why Refurbishment?

Save costs

Significant cost savings: Reduce your IT costs, because refurbished hardware is significantly cheaper to purchase than new network products. You can even get substantial discounts on the manufacturer's list price.

Technically tested

Technology that continues to impress: with refurbished network equipment, you’re opting for tried-and-tested business IT that has been checked and refurbished for further use. Instead of replacing fully functional network devices prematurely, they can be put back into service.

Security

Guaranteed quality: You receive a warranty on our refurbished IT hardware, regardless of whether you are a B2B or B2G customer. A promise of quality that is a matter of course for us.

Availability

The choice is yours: With our extensive product portfolio, we also offer end-of-sale products and spare parts that are normally difficult or expensive to obtain. Our team will be happy to advise you on the right products for your needs.

We are convinced that the IT remarketing of tried-and-tested network technology can enable it to continue to be used.

True to the motto:

Give IT a second life.
