When reordering, the complete part number is a useful starting point. It makes the search more precise than a general description such as “network cable” or “connection cable”.
Use the complete number
Use the number from your bill of materials, existing packaging or a previous order. Include letters and any additional characters. If you have several numbers, also note the manufacturer and product name.
Compare the search result with your requirements
Check the product page to see whether the name and technical specifications match the required variant. For a cable, length, colour, number of cores and cross-section may be relevant. For a connection module, compare its specification and intended application.
Check the ordering unit
The cable length you need and the packaging unit offered are separate details. Before ordering, check how the item is sold and which variants are available. Convert the quantity you need into the stated ordering unit.
If there is no clear match
Next, try the manufacturer name or a distinctive part of the product name. If you are still unsure which item you need, send us the number you have, the manufacturer and the required quantity. Choose a replacement product only after checking that it is suitable for the application.
