Extreme Networks

Starting July 1st, 2014, in an effort to expand our Green initiatives, Extreme Networks will no longer automatically include power cords with our products.

The goal of this initiative is to reduce the number of power cords that end up in the world’s landfills each year. Customers have communicated that, for a variety of reasons, they do not always use the power cords supplied with the products. When power cords are automatically included with each product, these un-needed power cords are then discarded by the customer.

Extreme deployed this initiative on a line of switches previously, and once implemented, fewer than half of the orders also included orders for Power Cords. For this product line alone, this initiative prevented several tons of power cords from going into the landfills.

Customers that wish to have power cords supplied along with their order should be sure to specify a Power Cord on their purchase order.
