Recently, based on the shipment structure and technical support records of the past year, EB-LINK compiled an annual stocking recommendation and released it according to scenarios, covering four categories: monitoring backhaul, campus access, computer room interconnection and industrial site, for reference by integrators and Party A when scheduling production.

Where does the basis for the advice come from?

Three sources intersect: first, the specification with the most repeated orders, indicating fast on-site consumption; second, the high frequency of the grades in the questions, reflecting cognitive blind spots; third, the concentrated arrival rhythm before holidays. Only three stalls that hit the mark at the same time are worth keeping in stock for a long time, and those that hit only one will be replenished on a quarterly basis.

What should be left in each of the four types of scenarios?

  • Monitoring backhaul: Gigabit single-mode and single-fiber paired models are the main ones, and the terminal is equipped with one optical and multiple power according to the point group;
  • Park access: 2.5G and 10G uplink files are kept in reserve, and jumpers are stored according to single-mode and multi-mode color separation;
  • Computer room interconnection: short-distance DAC is mainly used, a small amount of AOC is added across cabinets, and modules and jumpers are left for long routes;
  • Industrial sites: Give priority to wide-temperature models, and leave comparable samples according to batches in use.

How to use this advice to make less last-minute purchases

The method is to look at it on a quarterly basis, first match the port models that you are using into the list, and make up for the missing slots at the beginning of the quarter, instead of waiting until the day before the cutover to transfer the goods. The specifications in the list can be found on the specific pages of the site, for exampleGigabit single mode single fiber one optical one electrical fiber optic transceiver and 10G DAC high speed cable, to avoid choosing the wrong gear due to only remembering one brand and model.

In the future, the recommended stalls will be aligned with the quarterly spot pool, and the range that can be shipped on the same day will be marked. If you need a checklist based on project size, you can call 0755-83179002 on working days to explain the ports in use and link distances.
