As long as you try very hard, you can achieve anything. If want to provide customers with first-class services and products, it is necessary to know the raw materials, production and sales thoroughly.

Thanks the purchasing manager very much for taking her busy schedule to train sales department!

ETU-Link is a professional manufacturer of optical transceiver, the main components of the product are optoelectronic devices(TOSA,ROSA,BOSA), shell (optical interface) and PCBA.

◆ TOSA(Transmitting Optical Sub-Assembly), with 4 PINS; ROSA(Receiving Optical Sub-Assembly), with 5 PINS; BOSA(Bi-Directional Optical Sub-Assembly), with 9 PINS.

◆ PCBA is a circuit board. Engineers will select the different chip design according to the projects. The common chips are SEMTECH, UXUN, Maxim and Macom.

◆ The optical module shell is generally divided into single and dual fiber. According to the interface type, mainly divided into LC and SC.
