In recently years, more and more distributors swarm into the data communication field. Most of them have no websites and test labs, they source routers in the market, or just swap out some router cards from scrapped chassis, and then sell them to overseas customers directly without any test.
Due to no test lab and professional technical team, the customers always received an item with problems, such as board unregistered, daughter-card missing etc. Thunder-link has a complete test system, and every item will be tested by the engineers comprehensively before delivering to customers.
Here taking a set of Huawei ME60-X8 with 200G SRUA and SFUI-200-C system as an example.
