Requirement desk
LinkScope Sourcing 07 reads the OLT brief from this form
The contact page is a two-column desk: written channels on the left, the procurement form on the right. It is wider than the compact inquiry dialog and it carries the channel notes the dialog omits. No street address, public inbox or telephone line is published, so the work email inside the form is the reply path.
- Address. No public street desk is listed. Requirements are reviewed from the submitted text.
- Email. Use the work email field. A separate inbox is not published on this page.
- Phone. No public telephone line is listed. Add a reachable number in the form if a call would help the review.
- Hours. Notes are read on US business days. This page does not state a reply deadline.
- Social. Quotations are not taken through a social channel. Use the form.
What to put in the box
PON standard, port count, wavelength pair, optical budget class, fiber mode, connector, reach or split ratio, diagnostics, temperature, ONT list, power input, quantity, US destination and requested timing. If you add a budget, name the currency and say whether the figure is per chassis or for the entire order. High-end, mid-range, budget or undecided is a preference, not a verified supplier grade.
After submission the desk checks whether the cells are comparable, then contacts plants that can quote the family. The review looks for a named standard, a port count, a wavelength pair or an explicit blank, a power input, a quantity unit, a US destination, and a timing note that says whether the date is for a sample chassis or for the production lot. Transmit power in dBm and receiver sensitivity in dBm stay on the plant datasheet. If your note is silent, the cell stays blank so a plant cannot treat a guess as your requirement. Optical budget is requested in dB. A public reminder that class B+ is often discussed near 28 dB and class C+ near 32 dB is only a prompt for that cell. XGS-PON class names such as N1 and E2 are the same kind of prompt. They are not measurements of a chassis this desk has powered.
Separate the chassis from the outside plant. Splitter insertion loss, patch-cord return loss, and connector mating cycle life are cord and splitter lines. VSWR, impedance, gain and MIMO are not OLT port fields. Power over Ethernet is not a PON port attribute. If the site also needs a rectifier or a battery runtime, say so on a distinct line so the OLT plant is not asked to price a DC plant it does not make. Rack unit height and ingress protection of an outdoor cabinet are site constraints, not features this page assigns to every 1U box. Files such as a port map can be described now. This form has no upload control. A later message can carry files if the review asks for them on your work email.
Buyer scenario for the contact step. Background: an engineer had a photo of a faceplate and a verbal “10G” from a colleague. Process: the form text added 4 PON ports, XGS-PON, SC/APC, -48 VDC, quantity 2, a US state as destination, and a requested month for production rather than for a loan unit. Result: the desk could send that sheet without inventing a wavelength or an optical budget the photo did not show.
