Farnell expands range of switches to accommodate demand

Farnell shares investment in stock to meet market demand with switches from all leading brands, including its private label Multicomp Pro range.

Switches are crucial in many settings, but the type of switch required is dependent on the speed and demand of a network. For example, enterprise-level businesses may need high-speed switches with uplink ports of 10, 40, or 100Gbps for data centres. For that and many other reasons, a robust supply of switches is essential to ensure the availability of the most appropriate one for a specific application.

“Whether it’s a toggle, rocker, rotary, pushbutton, Ethernet or any other kind of switch, Farnell has its customers covered,” said Keith Forbes, Global Product Segment Leader, Switches, at Farnell. “We have invested a great deal to ensure our switcher range from the world’s best manufacturers is available and unbeatable, so we are delighted to announce that we are fully stocked and ready to ship across every brand we carry, including our own Multicomp Pro. This investment reflects our commitment to meet every customer’s requirements.”


Farnell’s global switch offering is comprised of more than 26,000 products, which all but guarantees the availability of the right switch for the job.

“Switches play a vital role in just about every electromechanical function that occurs today,” said Andrew Weatherill, Vice President Global Product, Farnell. “We proudly help keep businesses running worldwide by ensuring the availability of these small, but mission-critical devices.”

Switches can be ordered online from Farnell in EMEA, element14 in APAC and Newark in North America.
