Has anyone purchased these from China and do they work? I'm trying to finish up my CCIE voice lab and I need about 3 of these cards.

70.00 + 30.00 shipping from China...beats my 70% off discount.

    The ones from China will work good for about a year and "blow up". It would be worthless after a year or two

    IF you want your money worth get the real deal but if you want something for your lab and sell it afterwards, I will say go for it.

    Hmm... Not very nice for whoever buys it off you thinking its a real one!

    If you're willing to accept that its going to be a fake and that it may not work past the initial test then yeah... go for it...

    Yeah be nice, if you're going to resell it down the road tell someone its a knock-off. Or karma's gonna come back to bite you down the road when you're buying some routers for the CCIE in a few years..."Made in Chengdu" on the back of your $2500 ISR's. :)

    I totally understand, but 100.00 destroys my NFR discount and I can't justify 390.00 for a new VWIC2-1MFT-T1 when all I need is an older version for a lab.

    I wouldn't buy ISR routers or any current gear from Ebay I get brand new 2811s for 748.00 :)

    Impressive. A Cisco partner discount through Ingram Micro/TechData perhaps? Retail is about $1700 and it looks like I can get them for a little under $1200 (client discount).

    Yeah the partner discount rocks, but for something like a module its not really worth it for a lab.

    I thought all 1MFT-T1's were made in China icon_wink.gif

    Sometimes they run some incredible NFR bundles.
    The only easy day was yesterday!

    Yeah NFR is great, but not for one VWIC for a lab. Now if I was building a complete CCIE voice lab from scratch i'd do NFR on the whole deal and get it for pennies.
