What Arrow Wire & Cable does
Arrow Wire & Cable is a privately held, regional B2B distributor founded in 1989 and headquartered in Chino, California. The company distributes wire, cable, connectivity components, and security products sourced from over 40 leading manufacturers — including Belden, Leviton, Siemon, Panduit, Cisco, HP, Bosch, 3M, Southwire, Prysmian, and Sumitomo Electric Lightwave — to commercial, industrial, communications, OEM, government, and security customers across the U.S. West Coast. Its core technology is a three-warehouse distribution and supply chain operation (Chino CA, Hayward CA, Phoenix AZ) supporting same-day shipping, will-call pickup, and on-site customer training and certification programs.
The company's product portfolio is organized around four categories: wire and cable (Cat 5e through Cat 7A and fiber), structured connectivity (jacks, patch panels, faceplates), security products (video surveillance and access control), and data center solutions (cabinets, racks, PDUs, UPS systems). In 2025, Arrow expanded into proprietary exclusive brands — AVARRO (AV solutions), Capture Advance (NDAA-compliant surveillance), and Strong Mounts & Racks — moving beyond pure third-party distribution toward higher-margin owned product lines. Revenue is generated through hardware sales margins on distributed products, with quote-based pricing that varies by customer, order volume, and specifications.
The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers and inside sales, targeting six vertical markets across California and Arizona. The company has remained independent and privately held throughout its 35-plus-year history, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or revenue figures. Its competitive positioning rests on inventory depth, warehouse proximity, manufacturer relationships, and customer-facing technical resources rather than technology differentiation.
