The company’s extensive physical operations and €1.2 billion in digital revenue depend on reliable connectivity. Changes to AS210745’s routing posture—such as prefix withdrawal, upstream disruption, or RPKI invalidity—can serve as early external signals of network reconfiguration, potentially flagging disruptions to order processing, inventory management, or next-day delivery before they become visible through business channels.

REXEL FRANCE SASU is a €3.8B electrical distributor with an extensive French logistics network and a tiny but observable internet routing footprint. The company operates AS210745, originating a single /24 prefix via Leonix Telecom, creating a publicly monitorable signal. Although the prefix does not serve the main website and has zero observed services, its routing continuity can act as a low-cost proxy for internal network health. Evidence is limited to public RIPE/BGP data and official company pages; no internal system mapping is verified. Key watchpoints: prefix withdrawal, upstream change, RPKI invalidity, PeeringDB appearance, and service discovery. Any routing anomaly should be interpreted cautiously as a possible early indicator of network reconfiguration that could impact digital ordering and logistics.

REXEL FRANCE SASU is a French electrical wholesaler and the RIPE-registered holder of AS210745, operating a single-homed IPv4 prefix that provides a limited but monitorable network signal for its extensive distribution infrastructure.
What It Does
Electrical distribution: Rexel France is a wholesale distributor of electrical equipment, electrification solutions, and energy optimization services, serving residential, tertiary, and industrial markets.
Digital sales: The company generated €1.2 billion in digital revenue in 2025, reflecting a significant online ordering channel that depends on network availability.
Physical network: With 513 agencies, 13 logistics centers, and 32 customer relation centers, the company relies on interconnected IT systems for inventory management, order processing, and next-day delivery.
Operating Snapshot
Revenue: €3.8 billion in 2025.
Employees: 5,540.
Customers: More than 170,000.
Product range: Over 55,000 products available for next-day delivery.
Internet assets: Owns AS210745 and the prefix 188.93.114.0/24, upstream from Leonix Telecom.
Control Surface
Corporate domains: rexel.fr and entreprise.rexel.fr serve as the public-facing web presence and communication channel.
RIPE registration: The AS210745 record and the associated organisation object ORG-RFS5-RIPE establish the company's authority over the autonomous system and prefix announcements.
BGP visibility: The routing announcement of 188.93.114.0/24 through Leonix Telecom is publicly observable via BGP monitoring platforms.
Watchpoints
Prefix announcement: Monitor whether 188.93.114.0/24 continues to be originated. A withdrawal would remove the primary external signal.
Upstream provider: Any change in the upstream relationship with Leonix Telecom could indicate a network reconfiguration or a shift in connectivity strategy.
RPKI status: A change from valid to invalid would reduce trust in the route origin and could indicate a misconfiguration or security incident.
PeeringDB appearance: Creation of a PeeringDB network record would suggest more formalised interconnection management and might reveal additional prefixes or contacts.
Service discovery: Discovery of any publicly accessible service on 188.93.114.0/24 would clarify the ASN’s operational role and increase its monitoring importance.

Object role: The entity operates as a wholesale distributor of electrical equipment, electrification solutions, and energy optimization services across residential, tertiary, and industrial markets in France. In internet infrastructure terms, it controls AS210745, a single-homed autonomous system with one /24 prefix, establishing a narrow but observable network presence that can be tracked for routing stability.
Impact note: Monitoring AS210745 allows BTW readers to watch for potential supply chain disruptions affecting a major European electrical distributor. A loss of routing continuity could delay deliveries to thousands of customers across France, making the ASN a low-cost indicator for logistics continuity risk.
