How does AddOn ensure product quality and reliability?
AddOn Networks builds quality into the process rather than relying on spot checks.
- 100% application-specific testing: Every product shipped is tested in the actual type of application it’s intended for – not just batch or spec tested. This includes bandwidth, distance, and IOS network tests.
- Documented reliability: Over the last 10 years, AddOn has documented an impressive 0.03% failure rate. For optics specifically, every unit is programmed and tested in-house to a 99.98% reliability rating.
- Significant lab investment: To maintain this performance, AddOn invests millions of dollars annually in its own on-site testing lab.
- Global compliance: Solutions are compliant with key standards including ISO 9001:2015, TAA, RoHS, and NEBS Level 3, among others.
For customers, this means you’re getting connectivity components that are tested for real-world use, backed by data, and aligned with strict global quality and compliance requirements.
Are AddOn optics and cables compatible with my existing OEM network?
AddOn is designed to fit into OEM-centric environments without forcing you to rethink your network architecture.
- Broad OEM coverage: AddOn offers 100% compatible optics in form and functionality across 100+ OEM manufacturers, covering 20,000+ systems and platforms.
- No impact on support contracts: AddOn transceivers are built to seamlessly scale your network and are engineered so they do not void SmartNet or other SLAs.
- End-to-end portfolio: The catalog spans from legacy GBICs to 100G and 400G active and passive solutions, plus high-speed cabling (DAC and AOC), patch cables, NICs, media converters, memory (for switches, servers, laptops), SSDs, and accessories.
- Tier-one components: Memory products use factory original, tier-one brands such as Samsung, Micron, and Hynix.
In practice, this lets you extend, upgrade, or reimagine your network using AddOn components while keeping your existing OEM infrastructure and support model intact.
