Frequently asked questions
Before You Request a Quote
What information should I provide for a transceiver quote?
Please provide data rate, reach (distance), fibre type (SMF/MMF), connector type, temperature range and any specific diagnostics (DDM) requirements.
Can you supply custom shelters and racks?
Yes. We offer custom sizes, materials, colour, power distribution, cooling type, and monitoring sensors to meet project needs.
Do you support sample orders for optics and shelters?
Sample and small‑batch evaluation orders can be discussed before volume production.
Which files can I send with my inquiry?
You can send specifications, drawings, BOM information, reference photographs, shelter layout sketches, and expected annual demand.
