What should a PLC splitter RFQ identify before pricing?

Identify each buyer-controlled splitter line by installation point, split ratio, package format, input and output interface requirements, pigtail or connector details where required, quantity, connected passive items, drawing or BOM revision, packing request and destination country.

Why should PLC splitter lines be separated by installation point?

A splitter placed in a cabinet, closure, terminal box, rack or other project location can have different packaging, interfaces and connected hardware. Separate lines help keep unlike requirements from being quoted as one configuration.

Which products may belong on a related FTTH splitter BOM?

Only as required by the project, related lines can include FTTH drop cable, ODF or patch panels, fiber pigtails, adapters, terminal boxes, fast connectors and other FTTH or ODN accessories.

PLC Splitter Installation-Point RFQ Guide

Start with the installation point, not just the split ratio

A request for a 1x8, 1x16 or 1x32 PLC splitter is incomplete when the project location and connection role are omitted. The same ratio can be requested in different package formats and can connect to different passive-fiber lines. A PLC splitter supplier needs the buyer’s requested configuration, not an assumed network layout.

Create one BOM line for each installation point. Name the buyer-controlled location or equipment reference, then record the requested splitter format and the connected side of the passive path. This makes quotations easier to compare and lets a revision apply only to the line that changed.

Build a line schedule that stays clear during revisions

1. Identify the requested splitter configuration

Line ID, BOM revision, issue date and installation-point or equipment reference.
Requested split ratio, such as 1x8, 1x16 or 1x32, and the package format required by the buyer.
Input/output interface, connector or pigtail requirement where applicable.
Quantity, labels, packing request and destination country.

2. Connect the line to the project BOM

Upstream and downstream buyer references, such as feeder, distribution or drop-path line IDs.
Related ODF, terminal box, adapter, pigtail, drop cable or accessory line only where the project requires it.
Applicable drawing, route schedule or equipment reference, plus unresolved buyer decisions.
A change note showing whether the revision affects the ratio, package, interface, quantity or connected item.

Common PLC splitter RFQ mistakes

Using one generic line for multiple locations. Different installation points may require different package formats or interfaces. Separate them rather than asking a supplier to infer a single configuration.

Choosing a package without the placement reference. If the location is not final, state that buyer confirmation is pending. Do not replace an open project decision with an assumed cabinet, closure or rack arrangement.

Listing connected products without a relationship. Give related items their own BOM line and show the line reference or installation point that connects them.

Related products to quote when the BOM calls for them

A PLC splitter line may connect to FTTH ODN product sourcing, FTTH drop cable, ODF and patch panel requirements, fiber optic pigtail sets, fiber optic adapters or FTTH fast connector and accessory lines. Include only the lines needed for the actual connection path.

Send a reviewable splitter line schedule

Share line IDs, installation-point references, requested ratio and package, interface details, quantities and the latest BOM or drawing reference. Lumafyn can use those buyer-supplied details to prepare a product quotation path.
