The installed cable arrived with our FR5. Its promised spare did not. Seller says it will join another shipment, without identifying one. I have kept the receiving line open, but I would like to establish whether there is a cable ready to send or just an intention to find one.

Ask whether the agreed cable is physically in stock, with its exact reference, before you ask again when it will arrive

They say available, but the reference they supplied belongs to the installed cable's older drawing. I have asked our integrator whether it is the correct spare for the delivered setup.

Get that answered before chasing postage, a parcel containing the wrong lead would only make the stores shelf less empty and the problem more interesting

Integrator says the references need clarification from the supplier. Not confirmed wrong; not confirmed suitable either. I have sent the two identifiers and the delivered equipment details together.

Who at the seller is answering the compatibility question, Liam? Sales saying available won't settle the drawing difference.

Technical contact is now copied in. They have asked their cable source to confirm the revision. No dispatch requested while that is unresolved.

Could they supply the exact agreed revision instead, or is that also what they're checking with the source?

Both. Source says the old reference was superseded, but our integrator still needs the documented comparison. I have not treated the new number as approval by itself.

Keep the missing-spare claim open during that review, otherwise all these technical replies can make everyone forget you're still owed a cable

Did the comparison reach your integrator yet? That seems the next useful answer before another proposed shipment.
