Hardware

Led by the only custom-length fiber cable configurator in IT distribution, backed by 40,000+ SKUs of alternative-to-OEM network hardware — transceivers, DACs/AOCs, memory upgrades, and active networking — plus OEM-compatible optics across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, and Dell. Same performance, without the brand tax.

Service

Boots-on-the-ground labor and alternative-to-OEM maintenance coverage for the network you already have — delivered direct. No gig platforms, no subscriptions you do not need.

Smart Hands — cabling, rack-and-stack, deployment, relocation, testing, ITAD, and T&M service/support. Dispatched direct, no random tech assignments.

AOM — alternative-to-OEM maintenance and support contracts across server, storage, and network platforms. Sold through your reseller and MSP partners.

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 many broker layers.

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 brand pressure. Just a trusted technician showing a reseller how to earn better margin on the next optic refresh.

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.
