About Us

Compatible optics, backed by people who know networks

Twenty-plus years in fiber

FluxLight has sold transceivers, cables and media converters since 2003. We're a family-owned company in Dallas, Texas. Network teams at small businesses, universities, government agencies and Fortune 500 companies buy from us. We sell parts that work in their switches, cost less than the OEM's, and come with support from people who understand them.

  • In business since 2003
  • More than 10,000 customers
  • 30,000+ orders shipped
  • 1,000,000+ units sold

Built to work in your gear

Every transceiver is coded for the platform it's sold for, so your switch reads it like an OEM part. If a part fails, we replace it. Our warranty runs three years from delivery and isn't prorated. New, unopened items can come back within 30 days for a full refund.

Our team has worked in optical networking for decades. Our founder spent more than 30 years at Alcatel, Fujitsu and ADC, holds optical patents and has served on ANSI and ITU standards committees. When you call with a question, an expert answers.

  • Coded for your platform
  • 3-year full replacement warranty
  • 30-day returns on unopened items
  • Technical help before and after you buy
