A while ago I got an email from a local vendor here in Bergen, Norway, pimping the PatchSee Optical Technology cables. Intrigued by the idea of being able to identify both ends of the cables in our server room I ordered a free demo kit.
A few days ago the demo kit arrived, but while it's impossible to see on the poor mobile photo of the demo kit above, I was very surprised when I examined it closely:
- The demo light only works for about 10 minutes.
Thats probably fair enough, but as I only have one cable I don't really see why they should limit it at all? - The cable itself. I mean, would it kill them to actually provide a fully functional Cat6 cable?
The demo cable isn't even wired properly end to end, so it's basically useless.
I can understand the need to limit the demo kits, but I can't really understand a vendor that intentionally sends you a demo of their product where the demo itself is so limited that it's basically useless.
Would you buy something from someone who "demonstrates" their products this way?

When i first saw the picture i thought it was a cheap vibrator, lol. But I totally understand you when you say why would any company ever demonstrate a product in this way?

Hi,
I recieved as well this demo kit. This is just a sample to show the light identification.
The real products are totally better, I have contacted patchsee based in France and got some explanations about this Solution and these samples. http://www.patchsee.com/en/article.php3?id_article=3
If you contact them, you can test the real products
