Additional Media and Accessories

Certified Media

High-Quality Media Spectra Logic certifies only Sony AIT Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) cartridges, received directly from the manufacturer.

Lifetime Guarantee Spectra Logic provides a lifetime guarantee on all Certified Media.

Cartridge Packs Included with every 15-piece Certified Media order, cartridge packs offer a simple, dust-free method of storing media outside the library. Each cartridge pack stores up to 15 cartridges and has an integrated dust cover. (The 20-piece Certified Media packs do not come with the cartridge packs to hold them.)

Bar Code Labels Every Certified Media order provides uniquely numbered, sequential color bar code labels pre-applied to each cartridge, which ensures that you will never have to deal with a duplicate bar code problem. These bar codes carry the same lifetime guarantee that protects each Certified Media cartridge.
