What the customer provided
A written RFQ for four draft cable concepts, including lengths, connector references, wire ranges, twisting, voltage, temperature and quantity targets—but no drawing or image.
Procurement and technical issues
The 5-core temperature-sensor cable required an overall jacket, flexibility, a rating above 140 °C and a maximum 3.0 mm outer diameter. These constraints affected the available wire construction and certification marking.
What Zeakka did
Confirmed that unbranded compatible connector alternatives could be evaluated and explained MOQ; advised a 3–4-week project lead time after clarification; proposed AWG28 × 5C with an overall jacket for the 3.0 mm limit and disclosed that it would use non-UL-certified cable without an outer-jacket UL marking; advised changing the wire specification if unacceptable and compared UL2454 with UL2517, both 28AWG 5C.
Order outcome
The initial RFQ covered four concepts. The final order covered three assemblies: 5,000 pcs of one type and 1,000 pcs each of two types, approximately USD 2,900 in total.
Evidence and limits
This was a completed order and has not repeated to date. The customer did not provide a formal reason for choosing Zeakka, so no conversion cause or performance result is claimed.
