What Sigatec does

Sigatec is a privately held French specialty distributor of fiber optic equipment, headquartered in Massy (Essonne, 91300). The company sells fusion splicers, optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs), optical spectrum analyzers, polarization mode dispersion / chromatic dispersion analyzers, bit error rate testers, cable and antenna analyzers, network monitoring systems, and a full range of consumables and accessories (cleavers, electrodes, cleaning kits, strippers, batteries, power supplies). Its catalogue is organised into three pillars: optical connection (Sumitomo Electric core-to-core and cladding-to-cladding splicers including the T-201, T-72C+, T-57C+, T-402S, and the T-72M12 ribbon splicer); test and measurement (VIAVI Solutions MTS-2000/4000/6000 OTDR platforms, SmartOTDR, OSA, PMD/CD, BER, CellAdvisor JD720C/JD740B/JD780B for mobile network testing, ONMSi optical network monitoring, OTU-5000, and the MPOLx/FiberChek Sidewinder MPO certification line); and rental/leasing of the same equipment categories.

Revenue is generated through two streams: outright equipment sales with quote-based pricing (the website lists all products at €0.00 with a 'Demande de devis' workflow), and a rental/leasing motion for project-based and short-duration needs. Go-to-market is direct via the sigatec.fr e-commerce storefront and phone-based consultative selling, with no disclosed channel partners. Customers are primarily French telecommunications operators and ISPs, fiber optic installation contractors, and — increasingly — mobile network operators served by the CellAdvisor line. No public financials, funding history, or parent-company relationship is disclosed.
