Equipment Catalogue

Telecom equipment we source

This catalogue lists the telecom equipment CRS PLUS sources through its verified supplier network, indexed by equipment type and manufacturer. It covers current-production hardware and a large volume of end-of-sale and end-of-support equipment that is no longer orderable through the manufacturer but still supports live networks. Listing does not indicate stock held by CRS PLUS. Availability, condition and lead time are confirmed per enquiry, and every quotation states condition explicitly before you commit. Use the category cards below to browse by equipment type, or send us a part number directly and we will identify and price it.

Radio Units & RRUs

Remote radio units sit outdoors at the top of the tower, carrying the power amplifier and transceiver away from the cabinet.

Browse 26 items

Active Antenna Units

An active antenna unit integrates the radio and the antenna array into one assembly, which is what makes massive MIMO practical on a tower that cannot carry separate radios and panels.

Browse 104 items

Baseband & Digital Units

The baseband unit is where a site's capacity actually lives, and because it is normally a chassis populated with plug-in boards rather than a sealed product, most enquiries are for a specific board rather than a whole unit.

Browse 31 items

Base Stations & Cabinets

A base station cabinet is an enclosure, and what makes it a working site is everything fitted inside it — baseband, radios, power, battery backup and the interconnect between them.

Browse 379 items

Antennas, GPS & GNSS

A GPS antenna and the antenna line devices around it are low-cost items that stop a site commissioning when they are wrong, which is why they generate more urgent enquiries than their value suggests.

Browse 158 items

Microwave & Transmission

Microwave links carry backhaul where fibre is uneconomic, which describes a great deal of network in Africa and the interior of the Gulf.

Browse 370 items

Optical Transport & DWDM

This is one of the largest categories in the catalogue, and the one where sourcing is hardest.

Browse 156 items

OLT, GPON & Access

Fibre access rollouts across Africa and the Gulf run predominantly on a handful of OLT platforms, and expansion is normally a service board added to an existing chassis rather than a new chassis.

Browse 369 items

Optical Transceivers & SFP

Pluggable optics are the most commodity-like items in this catalogue and also the ones where vendor coding causes the most trouble.

Browse 43 items

Routers, Switches & Core

Network switch and routing hardware in carrier networks is almost always modular, and almost always tied to a software release.

Browse 511 items

Boards, Cards & Modules

Most telecom equipment failures are board failures, and most board replacements are cheaper than the platform documentation implies — provided the board is identified correctly.

Browse 53 items

Power Systems & Batteries

Site power is the least glamorous and most failure-prone part of a telecom site, and unlike radio equipment it is largely vendor-agnostic — a −48 V rectifier of the right output and form factor will serve a site regardless of whose radios are on the tower.

Browse 133 items

Cables, Connectors & Fibre

Fibre optic cable and cable assemblies are ordered by length and connector, and the length is usually encoded in the part number suffix — which means a single assembly appears as a dozen near-identical part numbers that differ only in metres.

Browse 49 items

Mechanical Spares & Fans

Fan units fail predictably, sunshields crack in the sun, and neither is expensive — but a fan failure will take a shelf offline and the replacement part is model-specific in a way that is almost never documented publicly.

Browse 25 items

FTTH ONT & CPE

Subscriber-side fibre equipment is bought differently from the OLT it connects to.

Browse 116 items

Outdoor Cabinets & Enclosures

An outdoor cabinet is bought by part number and configuration, not by picture: the buyer names the model — Enclosure 6150, ICC330-H1-C4, TP48200A, AAOB — and needs to know the footprint, the climate unit, how many rectifier slots and battery strings it carries, and whether it ships with the frame, monitoring and plinth or as a bare housing.

Browse 30 items

Servers

Rack servers are the single largest line on most data centre purchase orders, and the one where specification error is most expensive.

Browse 42 items

Server Processors

Server processors are bought two ways: as spares to match an existing socket population, and as upgrades to lift core count inside a chassis that is otherwise fit for purpose.

Browse 4 items

GPU & Accelerators

Accelerator demand has changed shape faster than any other line in this catalogue.

Browse 55 items

Server Memory

Server memory is the most frequently mis-ordered line in the catalogue, because a module that is physically identical and electrically incompatible looks the same on a purchase order.

Browse 71 items

Server Storage

Server drives are bought against four independent attributes — interface, capacity, rotational speed and form factor — and getting any one of them wrong makes the drive useless in the bay it was bought for.

Browse 6 items

Enterprise Storage

Enterprise storage is bought as a system rather than a part: a controller enclosure, disk shelves behind it, interface modules in the front, and disk units qualified by the array maker.

Browse 19 items

Network Adapters

Network adapters are ordered against port count, port speed, physical media and the form factor the chassis expects.

Browse 21 items

Power Supplies

Power supplies are a high-turnover spare and a frequent source of ordering error, because rating alone does not determine fit.

Browse 7 items

RAID & HBA

Storage controllers divide into two jobs that are often confused on the purchase order: RAID controllers, which present logical volumes and generally carry cache, and host bus adapters, which present drives directly to the operating system for software-defined storage.

Browse 8 items

Data Centre Switching

Data centre switching sits between the server estate and the network, and is bought either as a like-for-like replacement for an installed switch or as capacity for a new row.
