Frequently asked questions
Before You Request a Quote
What information should I provide for an industrial transceiver quote?
Please provide data rate, reach (distance), fibre type (SMF/MMF), connector type, temperature range, and any specific diagnostics (DDM) or environmental certifications.
Can YACHT OPTICS support custom labels and packaging for switches?
Yes. Standard products can be supplied with customer part numbers, labels, and packaging requirements after confirmation.
Do you support sample orders for industrial equipment?
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, and expected annual demand.
