About Us
What is the FiberCablesDirect EDGE?
We want to give every one of our customers a positive experience when they do business with us. FiberCablesDirect's team of industry professionals has a combined 20 years of experience in all areas of the cable and connectivity business. The company was created to give customers a convenient place to shop on-line for products to meet their connectivity needs. Due to our extensive inventory we can ship many products on a same day/next day basis. We also have quick turn around time on cable assemblies and have TAA/BAA compliant products that are made in the U.S.A. We purchase raw material directly from the fiber cable manufacturer so you save on distribution cost and our prices are extremely competitive. There is no middle man between you and FiberCablesDirect.
We focus on three main areas, which we believe are the most important to the customer. First of all, nobody wants to wait for cables, which is why we stock over a million cables from 1/2 meter to 70 meters. We are on the west coast so we have three extra hours to ship for our east coast customers. This is why 91% of our orders ship in 1-2 days. Secondly, we are sticklers about quality. We use Corning fiber, ceramic connectors and each cable comes with individual test results. Because of the high quality of our cables, we are able to guarantee them for life. After all, if we can't stand behind our product, we can't expect you to. Finally, we are all familiar with the element of surprise that comes with the shipping cost of an online order. We hate shipping costs too so we got rid of them. All online orders are eligible for free ground shipping.
We really hope your experience with us is a positive one and we truly want to retain you as a customer for life. We are big enough to get things done yet small enough to care!
