Frequently asked questions
Before You Request a Quote
What information should I provide for a coupler/splitter quote?
Please provide split ratio, wavelength range, fibre type (SMF/MMF/PM), connector type, packaging preference, and any specific environmental requirements.
Can you supply customised modules with specific pigtail lengths?
Yes. We offer custom pigtail lengths, connector combinations, and packaging sizes to fit your application.
Do you support sample orders for new projects?
Sample and small‑batch evaluation orders are available before volume production.
Which files can I send with my inquiry?
You can send specifications, drawings, BOM information, reference photographs, and expected annual demand.
