Eligible orders may receive up to 3% sourcing support.
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements.
Desk role
The desk is an independent sourcing partner. It captures family, contact count, termination, quantity, and destination, then requests factory quotations. It does not own a plating line and it does not borrow another company identity.
LinkScope Sourcing 36 can line up an 8P8C request against a 10-contact ix industrial ethernet connector request so the two interfaces are not priced as one part. The plant must name the maker, the exact model, the drawing revision, and the test basis. A 1.02 mm pitch copied from a different family is not accepted as the quoted pitch. Gold at 0.76 μm (30 μin) over nickel is a callout to verify, not a default the desk invents when the offer is silent.
Impedance at 100 ohm, insertion loss, and return loss need the frequency range printed on the datasheet. TIA-568.2-D (2018) discusses Category 6A channels out to 500 MHz. Citing that standard tells the plant which question to answer. It does not mean this desk measured a mated pair in 2018 or in 2026. Power over Ethernet class is recorded as the buyer requirement: 15.4 W and 350 mA in IEEE 802.3af-2003 discussions, about 30 W in IEEE 802.3at-2009, or about 90 W at the PSE in IEEE 802.3bt-2018 Type 4. Contact current still comes from the part file.
Public pages such as the TIA-568 overview and the IEEE 802.3 catalog are references for questions. Switch-platform inventory shown on other companies sites is not a capability of this desk. Three limits stay visible: no factory ownership, no category certificate issued here, and no connector mating cycle number published without the plant IEC 60512 sequence.
Write termination as IDC, solder, through-hole, or SMT. Write keying and latch. Write ingress protection for the mated pair. Write wire gauge or the PCB footprint. Write quantity and the US destination you can name today. A target budget can include currency and a per-piece or whole-order basis. High-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided is a buyer preference, not a grade this desk has audited.
OEM-coded and compatible jacks remain a split. One side may track a host support policy. The other may add plants after shield fingers and LEDs are checked. Refurbished contacts versus new contacts is the same kind of split: condition and lot records versus a clearer plating history. The desk shows both arguments and does not pick a winner in the template.
Background: a municipal network buyer in 2025 asked for shielded jacks on an outdoor camera pole. Process: the brief separated IP67 field plugs from IP20 PCB jacks and asked which quote included the gland. Result: the two offers stopped sharing one line. The scene is a method example, not a named award and not a saving rate.
Use the form for product, quantity, destination, and timing. Drawings stay in the text box. See inquiry rows if you still need a family label, or the procurement brief for the field list.
