Supplier & quote

A quote that shows its arithmetic.

Ports, split ratio, optical margin, PoE/PoF load, connector polish, documents and Incoterm. If a line is not confirmed, the quote says so instead of guessing.

01 / Inputs

What we need before we quote.

Six answers are enough to start. If a number is missing, we state the assumption in the quote rather than hiding it in a footnote.

01Endpoint count and device type (camera, AP, ONT, reader)
02Longest run from the equipment room
03Mains available at the endpoints?
04Power per endpoint, nominal and peak
05Country / destination port
06Services involved: CCTV, Wi-Fi, access, FTTH, CATV

02 / Output

What the quotation states.

LineWhat it statesWhy it matters
ConfigurationPorts, split ratio, ONU/ONT model, PoE/PoF outputsConfirms the chain matches the design
Optical budgetWorst-case loss and ageing marginShows the link will close
Power budgetPoE/PoF load, per-port and totalPrevents an overloaded switch or splitter
Connector polishSC/UPC or SC/APCPrevents a lossy UPC/APC mating

CommercialsMOQ, lead time, payment, Incoterm, warrantyConfirmed per model and destination
LogisticsPacking, HS code, origin, shipping basisLets the broker classify the shipment

MOQ, lead time and payment terms are model- and destination-dependent. They are stated on the quotation, not published as a universal rule.

03 / Commercial

The lines buyers ask about first.

MOQ

Depends on the model and the mix. A pilot quantity is the usual starting point.

Lead time

Confirmed against stock and the production schedule on the quotation.

Payment

Terms are stated on the quotation and confirmed with the sales desk.

Certification

Model-level documents are listed; no blanket “all models certified” claim.

Packing

Export cartons, palletisation and moisture protection are quoted per order.

HS code

Commonly 8517.62 for network equipment; the broker confirms the ruling.

Incoterm

The quote states the basis; freight and insurance follow the agreed term.

Warranty

Period and RMA process are stated per model on the quotation.

04 / OEM & ODM

Customisation without a fake terms sheet.

Logo, label, packing and documentation are the usual starting points. Port configuration and enclosure changes need a tooling and quantity discussion.

  • Logo and product label
  • Retail / project packing
  • Manual and document set
  • Port mix on project quantities

Tooling, MOQ and lead time are quoted for the specific request. We do not publish a universal OEM price list.

Six answers are enough to size the optical path, the power path and the bill of materials. We reply within one business day.

Which systems are in the project?

Select all that apply. This lets us size one bill of materials instead of separate quotes.

Supplier FAQ

Supplier questions before the PO.

If your question is not here, send the site details and we will answer with the calculation, not a brochure.

Ask an engineer

How is the quotation built?

From the site data: endpoint count, distance, load, mains condition and destination. We calculate the optical/power budget, select the configuration and quote the chain with the assumptions written down. The quote is not a catalogue page with a price.

Do you publish MOQ and lead time?

No. MOQ, lead time and payment terms depend on the model, the mix and the destination, and are stated on the quotation. A pilot or sample order is the usual way to start before a project quantity.

What certifications come with the equipment?

Model-level certificates and test reports are supplied with the quotation where they exist. Do not assume every model carries every mark; the applicable documents are listed for the selected model.

Who is the importer of record?

The buyer or the buyer’s appointed importer. We supply the commercial invoice, packing list, HS code and origin documents; the destination broker confirms the classification, duty and any type approval.

Can you do OEM or ODM?

OEM/ODM options are discussed per project: logo, label, packing, documentation and, for larger volumes, port configuration. Tooling, quantity and lead time are quoted for the specific request; we do not publish a universal OEM terms sheet.

What is the warranty?

The warranty period and the RMA process are stated on the quotation for the selected model. Spare units and a cold-spare recommendation are included for critical sites.

Can you ship to a project site?

Yes, subject to the Incoterm and the destination. Staged delivery by building or area is possible; the schedule and the packing list are agreed before the order.
