LinkScope Sourcing 03 terms of service

These terms cover use of the LinkScope Sourcing 03 website and the procurement form. The desk coordinates questions to factories about QSFP cable assemblies. Submitting a brief does not create a purchase order, a supply contract, or a reservation of goods.

What the desk is

LinkScope Sourcing 03 is an independent sourcing partner. It does not own a cable plant, hold DAC or AOC inventory, or operate a network. Inquiry labels are starting points for a specification. They are not a statement that a part is available in a warehouse.

What a submission does

When you send the form, you ask the desk to read the cage, lane rate, length, connector, quantity, destination, and timing you wrote, and to seek factory replies on that basis. You are responsible for the accuracy of those fields. If a cell is unknown, leave it blank or mark it as a question. Do not ask the desk to invent AWG, wavelength, optical budget, EEPROM contents, or a ship week.

Optional budget text, currency, per-assembly or whole-order basis, and a high-end, mid-range, budget, or undecided supplier preference are buyer instructions. They are not a quotation and not a verified rating of any factory. A factory may decline to answer, may deviate, or may name a different shell. Deviations should be judged by you.

What a submission does not confirm

Compatibility with a host, FEC behavior, insertion loss, return loss, power in watts, temperature rating, lead time, price, and any FCC or NRTL discussion remain with the supplier who names an exact part. A standards overview is a question source. It is not a certificate for an unnamed assembly. The desk does not perform laboratory tests and does not approve a link design.

Any note about FREE sourcing support or an eligible benefit of up to 3% is limited to the wording in the site banner. Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements are reviewed. That wording is not a price-cut schedule and not a statement about another offer.

Acceptable use

Use the form for business procurement questions. Do not submit unlawful content, credentials that are not yours, or requests to impersonate a manufacturer. Do not rely on the site as an engineering authority for optical budget, dispersion, or rack design. Those judgments stay with your engineers and with the datasheet of the part you later buy.

Information you send

Contact details and the requirement text are handled as described in the privacy policy. You should not place passwords, payment card numbers, or unrelated personal data in the requirement field. Drawings that do not fit the form are not uploaded here. You may describe them and exchange files later by the email path you provided.

Site content

Page text explains how to prepare a comparable brief. It can be updated when the form fields or the product family change. Historical notes in the buyer-note index describe a method. They are not ongoing offers. Third-party names, if you type them as host platforms, are your references. The site does not claim those brands as its own.

Liability boundary

Factory replies can be incomplete or wrong. You decide whether a reply is sufficient before you place an order with a supplier. The desk is not liable for a mismatch between a brief and a later purchase, for freight outcomes, or for host software that rejects a code. Where a limitation is not allowed by applicable law, the limitation applies to the extent the law allows.

Changes and contact

Continued use of the form after the terms are updated means you accept the updated text for new submissions. Questions about these terms can be sent through the same procurement form, with the word terms in the requirement field, on a US business day. A response explains the desk process. It does not, by itself, confirm a cable specification.
