Yes. Cablivo can review pinout tables, wiring diagrams, old sample photos, physical samples, connector datasheets and BOM files before prototype development. For adapters, audio snake cables, multi-core assemblies and special wiring projects, pinout review is important before sampling and testing.
What is the MOQ for custom audio cables?
MOQ starts from 500 pcs for many custom audio cable projects. Final MOQ depends on connector type, cable structure, material, overmolding requirement, tooling need, packaging plan, SKU quantity and order volume. Multi-SKU programs should include quantity for each SKU.
Can you support private label packaging?
Yes. Cablivo can discuss molded logo, printed label, heat-shrink label, insert card, barcode label, retail box, color box, OPP bag, carton mark and export packing. Packaging artwork, logo file, SKU list and barcode file should be submitted before sample or bulk production planning.
Can you help choose shielding and jacket materials?
Cablivo can discuss shielding and jacket options according to cable type, signal use, flexibility, connector space, outer diameter, color and application environment. Options may include braided shielding, foil wrapping and jacket material directions such as PVC, TPE or TPU. Final selection should be confirmed before sampling.
How do you test custom audio cable assemblies?
Testing can be confirmed according to project requirements. Common checks may include continuity, pinout, polarity, open circuit, short circuit, connector fit, appearance review, label position and packaging inspection. Special test requirements should be included in RFQ files before quotation and sample planning.
Can you handle multi-SKU audio cable orders?
Yes. Cablivo can help organize multi-SKU audio cable programs by connector type, length, color, packaging, barcode, carton mark and quantity. A clear SKU list helps reduce confusion during quotation, sampling, packing and repeat orders. Each SKU should include target quantity and packaging requirements.
What files should we send for quotation?
Please send cable type, connector model, drawing, BOM, old sample photos, pinout table, cable length, AWG, shielding requirement, target quantity, SKU list, packaging artwork, barcode file, testing requirement and shipping destination. Complete files help Cablivo review feasibility, quotation and sampling direction faster.
Do you provide fixed lead time for every project?
Lead time is confirmed after project review. Audio cable timing depends on connector availability, cable structure, material, overmolding, tooling, packaging files, order quantity, production schedule, testing needs and shipment preparation. Cablivo reviews these details before confirming sample and bulk production plans.
What Cablivo Needs Before Starting Your RFQ
Better project files help Cablivo review audio cable feasibility, quotation direction, sample planning and production requirements with fewer back-and-forth emails.
Product Files
Send any drawing, BOM, connector model, old sample photos, pinout table, wiring notes or application details available. If files are not complete, clear connector photos, cable photos and target use can still help start a preliminary review. For audio snake cables and adapters, pinout details are especially important.
Commercial Details
Send target quantity, SKU breakdown, target market, expected schedule, packaging style and repeat-order plan if available. MOQ starts from 500 pcs for many projects, while final MOQ depends on connector, cable structure, material, packaging and SKU quantity. A clear quantity table helps quotation accuracy.
Packaging Files
Send logo, label, barcode, insert card, retail box artwork, carton mark and packing method when brand or retail packaging is required. Packaging affects cost, sample preparation, production planning and warehouse accuracy. For multi-SKU orders, each SKU should match a barcode and carton mark.
