I know you said switches but it wasn't clear [to me] you'd be putting in
new ones. I've had no end of arguments with IT administrators who don't
know the difference so assumed you may be basing the enquiry on third party
information.

Contract sounds good but I'd still be inclined to get a tester on there if
only to weed out the cables that will have issues.
