Cooper Communications, a division of Cooper Electric, Adds Panduit To Their List Of Preferred Datacom Vendors

New York, New York (August 1, 2007) - Cooper Communications, a division of Cooper Electric Supply Co., is pleased to announce the addition of Panduit’s low voltage connectivity line for their Datacomm customers. Having Panduit’s low voltage connectivity line of products is the perfect compliment to the wide range of Panduit products Cooper already distributes. This positions Cooper as one of only four full-line electrical distributors to offer both a complete electrical and datacom supplies to the New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey areas.

Cooper Communications will supply Panduit’s high end PanNet Network solution product line, one of the premiere lines favored by end users and specifiers alike, and the contractor friendly Net Key line. Also to be included is Panduit’s fiber runner line, the first name in fiber optic raceway products as Panduit’s wireless solutions. Rounding out this partnership is the logistical support of VMI, a vendor managed inventory service, which adds value to the high level service Cooper already executes for their customers. In general, this makes Panduit’s datacom products a great new addition to the Cooper Communications distribution line.

“Panduit Network Solutions is one of the premiere datacom connectivity lines in the country. Their confidence in Cooper is enhancing our goal to be able to reach deeper into our customer base with a partner known for uncompromising quality, superb logistical and sales support as well as price points for each of our customer segments.  We intend to have their products take a leadership position in all our branches and regions,” says Scott Cannold, Cooper Communications Division Manager.
