CLi Rebates and Certification

AFL’s Certified Link Installers can design, install, and warrant an industry-leading AFL Certified Link system, which will be warranted for life against defective materials*. Each contractor must fill out an AFL Certified Link Installer form, submit a company profile, and identify the distribution channels used to purchase AFL products. After submitting the required information, AFL will review and determine whether the two companies would benefit mutually from the partnership.

Upon approval by AFL, each CLi™ will go through a two-day training course. The course may be attended by up to eight of the contractor’s technicians. The course will be followed by a test that must be passed by each participant with an 80% or higher. Upon completion of the class, each attendant will receive a Certified Link Installer Certificate. All CLi certificates will identify the Link Host Company and will be non-transferable. A Certified Link Installer must be on-site for a warranted installation. In addition, the AFL CLi program manager must sign off on the test documents.

The CLi’s will take part in the AFL Certified Link rebate program. This program rewards CLi’s for the purchasing and installation of AFL Link systems or products (single-mode OSP Loose Tube Cable purchases are excluded from rebate). We reward CLi’s that partner with AFL and reach the $75,000 Sales Club.
