Making Sense of Cisco Spare Parts
I'm trying to make sense of Cisco's part number system that uses an equal (=) at the end of some part numbers, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me so far. Some of the cases that are throwing me for a loop:
- I have a catalog that has parts with = and no corresponding part without the equal. Case in point: 15216-AD1-2-30.3= I see as a spare but cannot locate in the catalog a 15216-AD1-2-30.3. What is the meaning of such cases?
- I see cases where the = part has a lower price than the part without the equal. Example: 15808-CMP and 15808-CMP=. 15808-CMP is more expensive by far.
I understand the cases where the = part has a higher price, primarily for service contracts (which makes sense), and for other items that are discounted at time of purchase with a system.
