The Motion

How every deal starts.

Every network project starts with cable. That's where Altnet Fiber enters — and where the relationship that leads to everything else begins.

Cable Quote
Reseller needs custom fiber

Standard distribution lengths don't fit the job. Reseller uses the Altnet Fiber configurator to spec exact-length cables. Quote in minutes, ships same-day.

Install Add-On
We offer to run the cable too

Cable delivery naturally opens the install conversation. Altnet Fiber technicians run the fiber, rack the gear, and bring up the links — removing the Wachter layer entirely.

On-Site Relationship
Technician is in the rack

Our tech is on-site, eyes on the OEM optics already in the network. That's the highest-trust moment to have a natural conversation about OEM-compatible alternatives.

Optics Cross-Sell
The right conversation at the right time

No cold pitch. No Cisco brand politics. Just a trusted technician showing a reseller how to save money on the next optic refresh — and earn better margin.

Custom Cable Configurator

Every length.
Every connector.

Stop forcing standard lengths onto non-standard jobs. Configure exact-length fiber cables using FCM Products' PerfectBild™ platform — the first custom cable configurator available through IT distribution.

A greenfield line card opportunity.

Custom cable and install services are invisible to distributors today — resellers buy them outside the channel entirely. Altnet Fiber captures that spend, creates new attach revenue alongside Cisco, and delivers margin that doesn't exist in the current line card.

OEM-Compatible Optics

Your network.
Without the brand tax.

When the time is right, Altnet Fiber offers a full catalog of OEM-compatible transceivers tested and validated for the environments your customers already run.

Cisco Compatible
SFP, SFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD

Fully compatible with Catalyst, Nexus, ASR, and ISR platforms. MSA-compliant, tested, and available through distribution at a fraction of Cisco SmartNet pricing.

Juniper Compatible
SFP, QSFP28, DAC, AOC

Compatible with QFX, EX, MX, and PTX series. Identical performance, tested in Juniper environments, available through your preferred distributor.

Arista · HPE · Dell Compatible
Full Platform Coverage

Arista 7000 series, HPE FlexFabric, Dell PowerSwitch — Altnet Fiber covers the platforms your customers actually run, not just the ones that make the marketing sheet.

Why OEM-compatible? Every Altnet Fiber transceiver is manufactured to MSA standards, tested against the OEM platform it's designed for, and backed by our warranty. The difference isn't performance — it's the markup. We skip the brand tax. You keep the margin.
