Maxicom buys used and surplus networking equipment across Singapore and Malaysia — Cisco Catalyst and Nexus, Juniper, Arista, Fortinet, Palo Alto and more. Switches, routers, firewalls and optics have long secondary lives, and the region's dense telco and data-centre fabric turns them over constantly. We wipe every configuration, pay in SGD, and collect free across Singapore.
Networking is some of the most reusable enterprise hardware there is. A generation-old Catalyst or Nexus switch, a Juniper router or a FortiGate firewall still has years of service ahead of it somewhere in the world, so demand on the secondary market is steady and deep. Singapore's role as a regional connectivity and subsea-cable hub, together with the telco and data-centre build-out across Malaysia, means fabric is refreshed here constantly — campus switch estates, data-centre spine-and-leaf, and edge firewalls all cycle out with real value left in them.
Platform, generation and port configuration set the price. A sample of what we actively buy:
Singapore is one of Asia's most connected points — a landing hub for subsea cables and a magnet for regional network operations — and Malaysia's data-centre surge is layering in new fabric fast. That combination produces a constant flow of decommissioned switches, routers, firewalls and optics from telcos, data centres, enterprises and integrators. We buy across all of them, reset and wipe every device, and pay in SGD for what a weigh-and-crush operation would treat as metal.
| Scrap yard | OEM refresh | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do you get paid? | Metal weight | Credit, brand-locked | Cash value in SGD |
| Configs & credentials | Left on device | Sometimes | Wiped before resale |
| Optics in volume | Ignored | N/A | Bought by the tray |
| Faulty units | Scrap | Refused | Priced on components / spares |
| Collection | You deliver | You ship | Free in Singapore; arranged in Malaysia |
Networking gear stores configurations, credentials and certificates, not user data — but that's still sensitive. Every device is reset to factory state and its configuration, credentials and keys removed before resale, on a documented chain of custody. Where a unit also carries storage (some appliances do), that media is sanitised to NIST 800-88 or destroyed with a certificate.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.
