Where Actsys sits in the chain
If you are specifying or installing a network, Actsys is a supplier worth knowing: three decades of trade distribution, direct manufacturer relationships and a stocked range that covers the cable, the cabinet, the power protection and the tools in one order. If you are a business looking to buy internet or a phone system, it is the wrong end of the chain entirely — Actsys sells the components your installer uses, and takes trade accounts rather than retail ones.
