PIC in wide-ranging supply agreement with Anixter
Released 22 February 2002

From January 2002, Anixter France is stocking the full range of PIC’s Cat 5E, 6 and 7 networking cables following the recent completion of a distribution agreement.  Anixter France stocks both solid horizontal cables and flexible patch cord cable in single and shotgun configurations.

Richard Gray, International Sales and Marketing Manager, commenting on the arrangement, said, “We have the highest regard for the professionalism of Anixter’s distribution operation, a major force in the global supply of networking products of all types.  Combining our manufacturing skills in producing high performance UTP, FTP and S-FTP cables that exceed the requirements of Cat 5E, 6 and 7 with the power of the Anixter distribution network gives both companies significant advantages.  Anixter’s customers have direct access to our range and we extend our reach into the marketplace.”  

Emmanuel Boutin, Marketing Director, Anixter France said, “PIC were our preferred choice because of their capability in LSZH cable manufacture, the availability of all types of FTP cable in their portfolio and the fact that their cables are already system certified by some of our existing component suppliers such as Panduit and Autronics.  We are pleased to offer their products to the French networking market.”
