In the optical network solution, the unit cost of optical module as an accessory of switch is not as high as that of switch, but if the switch ports are full of optical modules, especially the original optical modules provided by equipment suppliers such as Cisco and Huawei, the total cost will be very high. Therefore, in order to reduce the total cost, many users will choose the third-party compatible optical module with relatively low price. But all kinds of third-party optical module suppliers in the market are mixed, and only depending on the price can not make a comprehensive judgment on the suppliers. Next, ETU-LINK will teach you how to find a third-party compatible module supplier with high cost performance?

Quality management system and certification qualification.

Manufacturers need to have ISO9001 quality management system and CE, ROHS, FCC certification.

Complete test equipment.

Manufacturers need to have a full set of test equipment, common equipment are optical attenuator, optical power meter, error code meter, eye chart instrument, brand switch, etc.

Systematic testing process

Good quality optical modules will go through product appearance test, parameter test, compatibility and connectivity test and optical end surface cleaning before shipment. However, not all third-party optical module suppliers have complete test equipment, so it is better to choose the optical module suppliers who can provide factory test reports or the optical module has passed the switching test / simulated scene test, such as ETU-LINK.

Module warranty time

The normal service life of an optical module is 3-5 years. The optical module provided by ETU-LINK has a three-year warranty and lifelong technical support.

Perfect storage system

The suppliers of compatible optical modules with a large amount of stock and perfect warehouse system represent that they have the ability to respond quickly, deliver goods in time, and respond to the needs of customers in different regions.

Service capability

The service of compatible optical module manufacturers is mainly reflected in product service, technical support, inventory support, pre-sale and after-sale service, etc.

Technical support

For some small enterprises, campuses and units, due to the lack of network administrator technology, network planning and design and network deployment technology problems can not be solved. If a compatible optical module supplier has a professional technical team, it can provide technical support, provide customized network deployment solutions for customers, and effectively and quickly solve the technical problems of network deployment. Such a compatible optical module supplier is absolutely the best choice.

In short, the cost performance of optical module should be considered when selecting the third party and optical module supplier, not just the price of optical module alone. Facing many third-party optical module suppliers, we must not only see the price gap of tens of yuan, but also consider a series of strength of product quality, technical strength and service of the third party optical module supplier. As long as we identify the optical module suppliers according to the above requirements, we can find compatible optical module suppliers comparable to the original brand.
