At Plantronics we design our cables to flex 200,000 times ensuring we maintain great audio quality for a long life.\u00a0 We also design the quick disconnect to last 30,000 cycles \u2013 again to ensure great audio quality and a long life.<\/p>\n<p>Because we don\u2019t make cables for anybody else, only original Plantronics cables can provide you with this high reliability, ensuring you maintain great audio quality.\u00a0 The easy way to tell if it is a Plantronics cable is that it has our logo on the QD \u2013 if it this logo isn\u2019t on a recently purchased product, then it is likely that it is not an original Plantronics cable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/QD.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1230\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/QD.jpg\" alt=\"QD\" width=\"201\" height=\"254\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t compromise, ensure that you are using original Plantronics cables purchased through an approved Plantronics partner.\u00a0 This ensures you get a highly reliable product that delivers great audio quality \u2013 enabling you to keep your reputation for delivering great customer service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of customer service is changing, for the first [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":2226,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[509],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
