Example..?
Doubt there is any difference in Farnell's Multicomp range and similar items from CPC except maybe
packaging. CPC like putting things in seperate bags, like RS.

I've had stuff fromFarnell which came in CPC pre-packs.
It is also not uncommon to find exactly the same part at CPC cheaper than Farnell, both branded and
own-brand (Multicomp)
