Testimonials

  • High quality cord, tracing feature saves time and reduces disruption. Helps with labeling process. Will use EVO cords exclusively on all new builds.

    Colton,
    Project IT Project Manager

  • “Tracing feature provides less risk of disruption”, “Tracing feature is very useful, saves time”

    Aurelio,
    IT System Analyst

  • “Excellent for trouble shooting”, “Helps avoid dislodging, pulling other cords when tracing”, “Labeling more efficient, reducing overall documentation”, “We can diagnose problems much quicker”, “Shipped very quickly”, “Planning on replacing all cords with EVO”

    Israel,
    IT Data Center Manager

  • I have to say, having the ability to trace those cables at the push of a button was one of the reasons our data center move was so successful.  We were on a very tight schedule…lighting up connections at a rapid pace… and we didn’t make a single error!  And when we needed to confirm connectivity (while troubleshooting an issue with a load balancer) we were able to do it in a fraction of the time it would’ve taken with traditional cable tracing methods.

    Bill,
    System Analyst

  • “I recently manually traced one of our older IDF closets to update my documentation. No matter how careful you are, it seems one or two users get accidently disconnected due to old cords, loose connections, or aggressive pull checking. (200) Locations took approx. 6 hours to document with 2 “mishaps”. A new closet with (200) locations and EVO cords……45 minutes, and no dropped connections

    Brent,
    IT Structure Analyst

  • The amount of time spent confirming connections and DCIM documentation is drastically reduced when EVO6 patch cords are in place. Time to confirm end point connections in a rack is reduced 65-75% when EVO6 patch cords have been used. We are in a transition that will end up with EVO6 being our patch cord of choice.  All new installations get new EVO6 cords when installed.

    Joe,
    Senior IT Management

  • Before Mertek, tracing cables was a hassle; trying to figure out where a cable runs to in a switch room with over 2000 patch points can cause headaches and possibly downtime if you end up tracing the wrong cable. Now with a push of a button, I can find a run in seconds and it doesn’t require downtime to do it.
