VoIP Supply is announcing the release of the Cisco SPA504G Salvage Edition as part of the VoIP Supply Refresh line of reconditioned VoIP equipment.
The VoIP Supply Refresh line was started in 2009 as a low cost alternative to new VoIP hardware. Each Refresh VoIP phone goes through a 10 step reconditioning process where it is cleaned, examined, upgraded, reset to factory defaults, repackaged with standard accessories including a CD with datasheets and manuals, and given a Certificate of Freshness.
As a Certified B Corporation (B Corp), VoIP Supply seeks out new sustainable opportunities. The Cisco SPA504G Salvage Edition saves phones and other materials from the landfill.
Nate Martin, VoIP Supply Refresh Specialist, worked for two months customizing a Dead on Arrival (DOA) Cisco VoIP phone with a variety of recycled parts. The final SPA504G Salvage Edition is a marriage of style and adaptive reuse:
Custom wood paneling, from a deconstructed house, takes inspiration from an Eames Lounge Chair and is engraved with the Cisco logo and SPA504G model name.
A coat of durable, glossy black paint is a further take on the Eames theme and gives the phone a fresh look.
Broken and worn dial pad keys were replaced with vintage typewriter keys salvaged from a typewriter found at Buffalo ReUse.
Surplus coiled guitar cable was used to replace the standard phone cord which continues the 1960's theme and adds new functionality. The new coiled guitar cable now allows the handset cord to swivel on both ends to help reduce knots in the cable.
