For channel and procurement businesses
Who should enquire about a GBICS partnership?
IT resellers
Source SFP transceivers in Dubai and optical modules in the UAE for customer orders. Request suitable part numbers, availability and pricing against the actual requirement.
Systems integrators
Build connectivity BOQs for enterprise networks, campuses and data centres. Include host models, cable routes and acceptance requirements with your enquiry.
Managed service providers
Discuss replacement parts, approved alternatives and spare requirements across customer environments. Keep compatibility and software information tied to each site.
Data centre specialists
Submit rack-to-rack, server and fabric connectivity needs. Align optical modules, DAC/AOC assemblies and MPO/MTP patching with your deployment plan.
Project procurement teams
Request itemised quotes with documented specifications and commercial assumptions. Identify mandatory part numbers and acceptable alternatives before comparing offers.
Regional networking suppliers
Share the territories and customers you serve, along with product interests and anticipated requirements. Discuss supply and delivery arrangements appropriate to the destination.
What to discuss with the GBICS team
A useful partnership starts with a defined scope. Explain your customer base and delivery model so GBICS can confirm which product and support arrangements are available for your business.
| Your requirement | What to provide | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Project pricing | BOQ, quantities, target date and delivery location | Itemised prices, validity, payment terms and delivery charges |
| Compatibility review | Host models, software, port modes and optical requirements | Proposed products, assumptions and available compatibility evidence |
| Deal registration enquiry | Opportunity summary, scope and project stage | Eligibility and any written registration terms before relying on protection |
| Local stock planning | Product forecasts, frequency and required quantities | Availability, reservation terms and replenishment arrangements if offered |
| White-label fulfilment enquiry | Packaging, labelling and delivery requirements | Feasibility, charges, branding approval and delivery responsibilities |
| Warranty and returns handling | Selected products and support requirements | Applicable warranty, RMA steps and responsibility for customer communication |
This is a planning matrix, not a benefits entitlement or partner tier schedule. Discounts, credit, exclusivity, deal protection and stock allocation are not automatic; any arrangement requires confirmation.
Help your customer choose the correct connection
When a customer asks for an equivalent optic, collect more than the speed and vendor name. Record the exact switch or router model, software release, fibre type, distance and optical standard.
For Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE Aruba, Dell, Huawei, Fortinet or NVIDIA requirements, request a model-specific review. Coding is one part of compatibility; it does not override electrical, optical or platform constraints. Brand names describe equipment requirements and do not imply vendor authorization.

Optical modules and data centre cabling for partner projects
Discuss SFP, SFP+, SFP28 and QSFP-family optics alongside DAC, AOC and fibre assemblies. GBICS also lists media converters, network adapters and network switches; confirm exact products and availability with each enquiry.
| Form factor / standard | Data rate | Maximum listed reach | Fibre | Wavelength | Connector | Compatibility checks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SFP+ / 10GBASE-LR | 10G | 10 km | SMF | 1310 nm | Duplex LC | Exact host and LR endpoint |
| QSFP+ / 40GBASE-SR4 | 40G | 100 m OM3 / 150 m OM4 | MMF | 850 nm | MPO-12 | Host support and lane mapping |
| QSFP28 / 100GBASE-LR4 | 100G | 10 km | SMF | 4 LAN-WDM channels near 1310 nm | Duplex LC | Host and LR4 interoperability |
| QSFP-DD / 400GBASE-DR4 | 400G | 500 m | SMF | 1310 nm | MPO-12 APC | Host lanes, FEC and port mode |
Representative interfaces, not confirmed stock or a universal compatibility list. SMF = single-mode fibre; MMF = multimode fibre. Reach depends on the specific module, fibre grade and complete channel. Exact product datasheets take precedence.
DAC and AOC
Capture both endpoint models, required length, protocol and end types. Confirm host-supported assemblies and breakout modes before quoting.
MPO / MTP
Specify fibre count, polarity, gender and polish. MTP is a branded MPO implementation; connector shape alone does not establish suitability.
LC patch leads
Match fibre grade, connector polish, length and loss requirements to the optical modules and installed route.
Keep every project specification traceable
Ask for the quoted part numbers, approved alternatives and compatibility assumptions to be documented. For repeat orders, retain those details with the customer's equipment and software information so changes can be reviewed before supply.

Partner Programme FAQs
Who can enquire about the GBICS Partner Programme?
Resellers, systems integrators, managed service providers, IT procurement businesses and specialist networking suppliers can submit a partnership enquiry. Share your company profile, markets and product requirements so GBICS can assess the fit and confirm next steps.
Does applying automatically approve my company as a partner?
No. An enquiry starts a discussion. Partner status, permitted use of branding and commercial arrangements need written confirmation from GBICS before being represented to customers.
Are partner discounts or margins guaranteed?
No fixed discount or margin is stated on this page. Request pricing against the specific products, quantities and project requirements. Confirm quotation validity, payment terms and delivery costs before committing to your customer.
Can GBICS help review a customer BOQ?
GBICS invites BOQ and compatibility enquiries. Send part numbers, quantities, host models, software versions, speeds, fibre types and distances. Ask for proposed products and any assumptions to be documented in the quotation.
Does deal registration guarantee project protection?
Do not assume protection from submitting an enquiry. Ask whether the opportunity is eligible and request written confirmation of any registration terms, scope, duration or pricing arrangements before relying on them.
Can partners request local stock or white-label fulfilment?
Include stock planning, neutral packaging, labelling or direct-delivery requirements in your enquiry. Availability, quantities, lead times, costs and customer-facing responsibilities must be confirmed for the proposed arrangement.
How do warranty and delivery work for partner orders?
GBICS advertises UAE stock, same-day dispatch and lifetime warranty. Confirm eligibility for each product, dispatch cutoff, destination delivery estimate and the applicable warranty and RMA process. Partner status should not be assumed to change those terms.
How do I apply or request a partner quote?
Email store@gbics.ae with your company name, website, business type, territory, product interests and expected requirements. For a live project, attach a BOQ and target delivery date. The email starts a review rather than granting automatic approval.
