The term Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) originally referred to a company that supplied equipment to another company to resell or incorporate into their own equipment for sale. OEM is now used to refer to a product that is acquired by the company to be reused or incorporated into another product using the reseller’s brand name. Sometimes, OEM is used to refer to a company that makes the end product using parts from another manufacturer.

Initially, OEM was applicable to business to business sales, where component manufacturers could only sell to the equipment manufacturers. However, this has changed over time and the component manufacturers can sell their parts directly to end users. An example is when a manufacturer sells graphic cards, processors and memory to individuals building their own computers.

Debossed polarity line provides visual cue to proper trac, trac connector and fixture alignment • Supplied with toggle bolts for surface mounting• Insulator stays same length as extrusion to simplify field-cutting of trac• Connectors and feeds simply push into trac sections.

OEM hardware is cheaper that what is found in retail shops. The two have the same capabilities and performance levels; however, the OEM does not ship with extras that may be required for it to function. For example, the OEM computer processors may ship without cooling fans, a hard drive or video card may ship without cables or adapters required for the installation. Just like the software, the OEM hardware may have restrictions on technical support.

The OEM is the company that makes subsystems or parts that are used by other companies to make the end product. An example is the Acme Manufacturing Company that makes power cables that are used in Dell computers; in this case Acme manufacturing Co. is the OEM.

The meaning of the term OEM has evolved over time and there are some overlaps at times. There are times where OEM refers to the company that makes component and then sells them to equipment manufacturers or a value-added reseller.

The conduit feed is for surface wiring using a standard 1/2-inch connector.  Reverse polarity R34R conduit feed is designed for use in opposite polarity orientation compared to standard feed connectors.

The two versions are usually of the same quality, but have a different mode of distribution, price and support. The OEM products for resellers may lack manuals, connecting cables and other accessories such as cooling fans. The warranty may also differ.

There is both OEM software and OEM hardware. However, the OEM software is not very common. Some of the OEM software products include versions of Windows operating system, productivity software, system utilities and security applications. This OEM licensed software does not come with technical support; instead it is supplied with a few logos and basic documentation. The system builder provides the system documentation as well as technical support.

Most of these OEM products are customized for specific machines, meaning that an OEM Windows for a Dell computer will not work on a HP, Lenovo and other computers from different manufacturers. In addition, the software may not work on other Dell models other that what it has been customized for. The OEM software is cheaper compared to the other retail versions but may not work on other computers.

However, a newer definition of OEM refers to the end product manufacturers who use the parts to build the systems such as computers. HP, Dell, Lenovo Acer, may be considered as OEMs when they purchase parts such hard disks, memory, power supplies and other components to assemble and brand computers which they sell under their own name.
