How to send an FTTH bill of materials for a fast, accurate quote
The fields that let a supplier quote an FTTH or fiber-network BOM in days instead of weeks: item, specification, quantity, unit, standard, packaging and delivery plan, with an example.
What slows a quote down
Most delays come from questions the supplier has to ask: which fiber, which connector polish, how long the drums are, whether delivery is in one lot or several. Answer them in the BOM and the quote comes back in days.
The fields to include
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Item | Duct cable |
| Specification | 48F loose tube, GYTA, PE sheath |
| Fiber type | G.652.D |
| Quantity and unit | 120 km |
| Packaging | 4 km drums |
| Standard or test | IEC 60794, OTDR per drum |
| Connector and polish (if any) | SC/APC |
| Delivery | 3 lots: March, May, July |
An FTTH BOM usually includes
- Feeder and distribution cable, by fiber count and route type
- Splitters by ratio and packaging, closures and cabinets
- Fiber access terminals, drops, connectors and wall outlets
- Patch cords and pigtails for central offices and cabinets
- Splicing and test tools for each crew
