Phase-out and End-of-Life products

Welcome to the page dedicated to products in the final stages of their life cycle.
Here you will find an overview of devices that we are gradually phasing out of production and sale, as well as those whose production has already been permanently discontinued.

How to navigate the overview?

  • Phase-out: Products scheduled for phase-out. Production is coming to an end and only the last remaining stock items are still available. If you are using this product, we recommend stocking up in good time or planning to switch to a newer model.

  • EOL / End of Life: Products that are no longer manufactured and no longer have active support. This means, for example, that no new firmware versions or spare parts are available. 

If you are looking for a fully-fledged replacement for your discontinued model, please contact our technical support at support@metel.eu.

Catalogue sheets, declarations of conformity and further information on discontinued products can be found in the online archive.
