As federal buying season comes to a close in late September, it’s important to ensure that your data centers are fully equipped with high-quality network cables that are TAA* compliant and adhere to federal regulations. Axiom offers a full lineup of TAA compliant cables for GSA schedule purchases that align with federal budget benchmarks. 

*As defined by the Trade Agreement Act (TAA), a TAA-compliant product indicates that the product has been substantially altered in a Federal Trade Agreement (FTA) designated country, into a new or different article of commerce with a name, character, or use distinct from that of the article or articles from which it was transformed.

Importance of compliance

TAA compliance is a mandatory requirement for government-owned data centers or data centers that handle classified information. Failure to comply with TAA regulations may incur serious consequences if not compliant with TAA regulations. These penalties include but are not limited to:

• Termination of contracts with government agencies

• Hefty financial penalties with possible legal action under the FCA (False Claims Act)  

• Criminal charges along with negative effects to reputation 

Axiom supports all of your TAA cable needs 

Axiom is your one-stop shop for TAA-compliant network cables. Axiom offers a wide range of TAA cables to meet the needs of our GSA customers and help your data centers stay adherence to federal regulations. Axiom cables originated in or are substantially transformed in a Federal Trade Agreement (FTA) designated country, as specified by the Trade Agreement Act (TAA). We provide full documentation and list country-of-origin to maximize transparency and validate TAA compliance.

Like all Axiom network products, our TAA-compliant cables are manufactured using premium components and protection, in accordance with the Axiom standard. Axiom products are backed by industry-leading warranties (lifetime warranty for memory and networking transceivers) and technical support so you can upgrade your system infrastructure with confidence.

The full catalog of Axiom cables presents customers with a wide variety of options with the ability to customize to the exact desired specifications. No other network cables provider can match the level of quality that Axiom provides for these distinct reasons:

Customizability

Axiom offers a wide variety of customizable options/alterations for different applications and a large selection of lengths (both standard + custom) adjustable for all types of deployments. To further facilitate ease-of-installation and network management, Axiom offers an assortment of colors, and labels. With Axiom cables, data center operators are able to construct a tidy data center with efficient, distinctive cabling to ensure that cables are properly managed.

TAA compliant

For many cables, the components are often sourced from non-TAA countries. They may also have misleading labeling or lack complete origin disclosure. The manufacturing may also be split across non-compliant facilities in non-TAA regions.

Axiom TAA cable parts are sourced from the United States itself or TAA-approved regions to ensure quality and compliance. Our supply chain has been carefully curated, with each supplier vetted under strict regulations. 

Axiom provides a signed Certificate of Origin for every TAA-compliant cable we build, certifying that the end product meets the country of origin requirements as defined by the Trade Agreements Act. 

Fulfillment and logistics 

Axiom has systematically put together a logistics system that allows us to deliver network cables where you need them, when you need them. Utilizing air options for overseas shipments allows us to provide quicker turnarounds/shorter lead times. Axiom also has a higher number of fulfillment centers located all over North America compared to our competitors, allowing us to ship within closer proximity.
