grading system for our refurbished and reconditioned products

Grading system for our refurbished and reconditioned products:

At the end of each product number there is an alphanumeric code starting with a “-” dash.

-R        Refurbished Grade A. We define “Refurbished” as a product returned close to as-new condition by the original manufacturer.

-RC      Reconditioned Grade A. We define “Reconditioned” as a product returned close to as-new condition by a third-party refurbishment company.

-B         Refurbished Grade B

-RCB    Reconditioned, Grade B

-RCC   Used

-U        Used

In addition, boxing may also be indicated not only in the ad, but also in the part number:

-FB      Factory Box (has manufacturer logo)

-PB      Plain Box

If there is no letter next to –R or –RC assume it is a Grade A, but make sure you check the “Additional Information” section of the product page to confirm exact condition.

Note: Numbers mixed in to condition such as FB-2R = “Factory Box, Refurbished” and the “2” is for ICT Hardware internal use only to help identify our vendor. The number does not have any reflection on condition.
