Recently replaced all the switches and and a phone system for a client and moved all the old gear into the server room to be recycled. Anyone need some 10/100 switches? I think most of this stuff was installed in the early 2000s
That stack on the right is their old Mitel system, its replacement takes up a whopping 3U in the rack.

I have a similar stack of Catalyst switches in my garage. On top of 2600-series routers.

15 years ago I’d have been all over that stuff.
Today my brain goes to “what would I even use that stuff for,” and “where would I store it?”

The power consumption alone boggles the mind.

Frankly I’m glad to be past the days of telnetting into cisco catalysts with a db9 to rj45 cable and a laptop.

17 years ago, I was ripping out old 10Mbs networking equipment to install that fancy new 10/100 stuff (48-port Cisco switches with gigabit fiber connections to our server room, and in the case of multiple switches in the same closet, some weird Firewire connection linking the switches).
Didn’t have the old gear problem though, Cisco gave us some discount if we physically destroyed the old products, which was fun if messy. Then to dumpster with them.

Probably difficult to unload, unless you’re willing to consider breaking an embargo or two.

I still have one of those cables and a USB to serial converter for those weird times I need to plug into something with the serial RJ45 port. It’s rare, but it’s in one of my drawers...

We really need a national tech recycler that is set up to process this kind of stuff. I never know exactly what to do with decommissioned equipment.
