BUYER CHECKPOINTS
Information to collect before quotation
Unknown items can remain open. The goal is to make them visible instead of hiding them inside an assumed product match.
0102Exact connector reference
Provide SFF references, part numbers, photos or drawings where available.
03Topology and direction
Define the host-to-target path, lane requirement and whether the assembly is straight-through or breakout.
04Mechanical installation
Confirm length, connector orientation, cable exit, bend path and chassis clearance.
NEXT STEP
Continue from the closest technical route
Use the relevant product family when both endpoints are known. Use the custom or technical RFQ path when the connector, direction or mapping still needs review.
