Understandably this place is not the epicenter if customer service experiences. They have a vast variety of upgrading, repair, networking and other residential and industrial electrical and system security hardware. I have been sending my employees here for many more years than I would like to admit. I decided to take my kids with me as a learning experience as we were doing a home networking project. We needed a 16 port PoE switch, thats all. It should have been easy to find, or even order, but no one offered any assistance at all. Which again is understandable because customer service is not their forte. Nonetheless, when I finally found where the PoE Switches were it made sense that I could not find them. They are situated behind what looks like a help desk with an employee sitting at it. This is the root of my one star review. The person sitting at this station, did not acknowledge us at all but for a subtle scoot of his stool to make room for us to look behind him at the switches. At first I was confused, by this thinking it was an employee only area. But then I realized that the employee was glued to the YouTube playing on his screen, totally explaining his inability to acknowledge our existence. If he was my employee, he would have to be retrained or find someplace else to work. Meh. It is what it is. When I saw this, I said forget it, went home and bought my 16 port PoE Switch on Amazon. Like I mentioned earlier, they have a really good product selection. But if you are rushed for time, not familiar with their store, or not sure what exactly you are looking for they are not like BestBuy, CompUSA or Circuit City by any means at all. read more

Industrial Electronics - West facing sign - Electronics Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If your occupation deals with maintaining communication and computer systems (IT), or you're a person who repairs and maintains computers and servers, then you're going to love shopping at this store. Industrial Electronics has been doing business in Honolulu for over 60 years. Owner Manfred and his team are Hawaii's leader in all the various electronic supply. They carry all types of wiring, connectors, network cabling and LAN products. They also carry a large quantity of test equipment. My favorite being Fluke... Costly meters, but well worth the price. You'll be happy you made the investment. Operating hours: Mon - Fri: 6am - 4pm The staff is extremely helpful, especially if you don't speak the IT lingo... Lol. read more

Always fast and friendly service! Evelyn is the best! All the staff are super helpful and they know what their stuff! They also take care of their customers with snacks and drinks!! read more

Hidden gem in Kalihi. I've always gone to Bestbuy or Office Depot to buy CAT-5/6 cables when we change out cables in our office. But this place has great prices and you'll be supporting brick and mortar store which is helping local small businesses in Hawaii. Staff has been super helpful the 2-3 times I've been there. Beats having gone to some other places once and having bad customer service. They answered my questions thoroughly and they always have what I need. My only con would be parking as there's only a few spaces and you'd have to back out of the lot There's also street parking though. Support local businesses and shop here for your electronic needs read more

Can someone tell me why this place called Industrial Electronics, Inc. has the most ridiculous prices on electronic gear???? The prices here were so cheap I honestly almost fainted when I compared prices to another local electronics store I normally go to in the Sand Island area. I was training a new engineer this past week, and I noticed the new kid didn't have some electrical tools that he normally should be carrying to help make him do his job efficiently, so I took him to my normal electronic shop in the Sand Island area to pick up the gear he was missing. While I was at the electronics store, my coworker calls me out of the blue to ask me if I could pick up some USB communications cables for an upcoming install at a bank. He then told me to go to Industrial Electronics, Inc. to pick up the cables, as the 10 foot cables were only $2.00 bucks a pop! Well let me tell you, since I was already at an electronics store, I decided to see what they sold these cables for..........and sure enough, the electronic store I was at was selling their cables for $8.95...........can you believe that!!! It's almost $7.00 smackaz more than going to Industrial Electronics, so I put back those USB cables, and headed down the road to Industrial Electronics, Inc. Where is this electronic store located? Best way to find this electronic store is go to the corner of Waikamilo Road & Mookaula Street, and just across the street from Au's Garden Chinese Restaurant, on the back side across the street you will find Industrial Electronics, Inc.. This little electronic store has a small private parking lot (about 5 to 6 parking stalls), just pull into the parking lot for free parking! This electronic store carries all types of electronic gear, and I highly recommend you check this place out before going to other electronic stores, because the prices here are really competitive! Can you imagine..........I bought 9 cables at Industrial Electronics which came out to just $18.00 ($2.00 bucks per cable) smackaz plus tax. If I had purchased the same cables at the other electronics store, I would have ended up paying $80.55 ($8.95 per cable) plus tax, so you can see the massive price difference! YIKES!!! Looking for electronic gear???...........Industrial Electronics, Inc. is the place to be! read more

Needed to get some Cat 6 cable today...I had bought some yesterday, but it was gray. I wanted blue. I returned to gray one to the original store and come over to Industrial Electronics. Not only is this store well stocked and organized, the prices are better! Mr. Mueller has everything!. He was very friendly and helpful. If you need any kind of electronic item, check this place out! read more

Industrial Electronics - Lots if parking - Electronics Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Five stars! Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful staff, quality products, opens early, and good parking. Industrial Electronics provides awesome products for your electronics needs. For me, it was a coaxial cable for my cable TV. Now I know that there's all types and brands of coaxial cables out there and different qualities. Our cable service provider recommends us using their cables, but when one of those breaks, it takes days for them to respond, thus having no cable service for days on end. Going to a Best Buy will get you a coaxial 50' cable for $39.99 + tax. Coming here, it was $5.00 for a 50' coaxial cable! Amazing! Also, the cable is of high quality. I should know, I did buy several in the past & no fuzzy cable TV screens here. I also was given a complimentary t-shirt from the staff as a give away to customers during the holiday season. How sweet it is! I really appreciate that gesture! All in all, I highly recommend coming to Industrial Electronics for your cable needs. It's off of Waikamilo Street across Au's Garden Chinese Restaurant and behind the Loess Spa building. Enjoy!! read more

Needed a little bit of wire to wire up a guitar. FYI I know nothing about wires except what it said on Google. An older gentlemen helped me. When he learned what I needed and that I needed just a little bit of wire he went in the back and salvaged some for me. He showed me how to strip what I needed from what he gave me. I asked how much I owed him and he said "go make some music". That's so awesome! Businesses like this are what make Hawai'i so different. Great customer service, great experience! read more

Affordable products that major retailers carry without the brand name. Found myself being assigned to work from home for a few weeks. Best Buy was out of reasonably sized Cat 5 cable so I could connect my desktop to the net. My IT buddy recommended this place and lo and behold they had the cable and the length I needed. Will definitely purchase from them again. read more

Best price and availability of cords you cannot even find at Best Buy or Walmart, and excellent service as well.

Hidden in Kalihi is this electronics supply store very few people have heard about. They specialize in everything electronics from soldering iron, wires and cables, to parts large and small to very tiny. Check them out. read more

When I need to get Cat5 cable, connectors or patch cords here is where I come to. If I have a side job to do cabling I get pretty much everything here. They are helpful and sometimes even give me special deals on things and I have never been disappointed here. They have one of the most complete cabling shops around and everything to do that as well as test equipment and cutters. Parking is in their own lot so usually there's parking for everyone who comes. The staff is pretty knowledgeable so if you have questions you can usually get it answered. They are my life saver many a times. read more

TL;DR If you have any kind of telcom or networking needs. Skip Amazon and come here. You'll support a local business at the best prices. I have nothing but good things to say about this shop. In order to eliminate buffering on streaming services and get better connections for gaming and browsing, I decided to create a wired network in my house. I started out as usual looking around online, then decided to check out Yelp and found Industrial Electronics right here on the Island. From the instant I walked in I was asked by staff how I was doing and if I needed any help. Everyone was super willing to answer any questions I had and help me find what I needed. It really feels like a great team works there. As a super novice, it was pretty overwhelming walking in. Manfred was a huge help showing me what parts I needed and what parts I didn't, and how to make my system in the easiest and most cost effective way. He even suggested I return another day since they were getting kits that would have a bunch of the tools I needed and would save me some dollars. When I came in the next week and amitted it had been well over a decade since I made ethernet jacks for a class lab, Manfred cut some ethernet cable and did a quick tutorial on how to use all the tools in my kit to make my lines for my network. He also gave me some advice on how to route it and things to avoid. I almost wish I needed to do more than just my house so I could be a regular at this shop. If you have any home or office networking needs, please stop by Industrial electronics before making any purchases elsewhere. read more

The best place to buy all the hard to find components for electrical, had a blown out contactor, I was amazed they had one in stock and a reasonable price read more

Very efficient staff. Just made a return for some cabling that I didn't need and had no problems at all. Some specialty shops like this cater mainly to contractors but I didn't get that impression here as a DIYer. read more

Headed there to buy thermal grease, only they did not have any, which was surprising for an electronics store. They seem primarily geared to serving the IT sector and, had I the need, this store would be my go-to place. My companion was looking for a power rectifier to repair an ancient Roebuck charger. The counter persons (I think they were mom and son) were super helpful, looking through their catalogs and trying to find suitable parts. Although they were not able to find any, they were extremely nice and even suggested other electronics stores to try, in fact, calling them to ask about those parts ahead of time. Awesome top notch service! read more

I come to IE quite a bit for work, and everything is great until I get to the counter and the lady at the register is snappy. Mind you she wasn't the person helping me it was a new guy but she got so bad that he had to tell her to calm down! I mean I had to try really hard not to get anymore irritated with her and call her a B%#*~, but she definitely needs to retire or learn how to talk to customers! read more

Find a reason to go to Industrial Electronics. Really. This is the kind of small business, staffed by passionate experts, that we need to keep in business. Don't go to Best Buy! Call Gabby, tell her you need a 12 port switch box and she'll take care of you. Or whatever. A backup battery. Wires and cords. Stopping in to IE will make your day. Thank you, IE! read more

I come here pretty often and the staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner I think his name is Munfred is really smart and nice. I purchase electrical tools, cables, connectors, heat shrink, fiber, fuses etc. from here. Awesome place! read more

I used to go to IC supply but this place has more of what I need in singles. Connectors, cables, termination supplies, testers. This place is worth a stop if you're are an electronics boffin. read more

Amazing service Mr. Manfred and staff always go the extra mile to help out customers. Been in many situations where parts or equipment were needed for emergency situations and they would help me out by waiting for me to arrive before they closed or made sure to take extra parts to see what would work best and return what I didn't need. Definitely a business that goes above and beyond. read more

Bad customer service.... Evertime I go there lady has an attitude... if I could give no stars I would.... Better spend your money elsewhere

Moneyball: so cheap! Makes: welcoming and helpful staff. Easy to find. But the bottom line, they have what you need at ridiculous prices...don't ever buy cables etc again from big retailers like best buy. Misses: parking can be a tight one if they are busy, be careful reversing out into the main road. Also, would be nice if they opened until 5 or 5:30 instead of 4:30. But, they do however open early at 6:30am. Next time you need supplies check them out. read more

Yup, what all the other reviews said. Great service, super awesome prices and even a small "Friday" discount. So many things to look through. Definitely coming here for any networking needs - cables, switches, wireless, etc. Limited parking though. read more

Super low prices compared to pretty much any retail chain here on island. They have everything you need too for low voltage network wiring jobs! read more

This is my go to place, for electronic hardware, tools and supplies. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. They also have very reasonable pricing. read more

While doing the remodel/rebuild on the in-laws house, we decided to do a full wired network for the house. My first inclination was to of course, shop on Amazon, and I did. I found CAT6 wire/spools, for what I thought was a good price. Then my friend told me about IE, and I figured I would give them a try. Well, it turns, I have a new best friend! The worker there (didn't get his name, yet), has been so helpful. Their prices for the CAT6 spool (1,000 feet) was below what Amazon was, and they had it in stock. I have since gone back three or four times, and will keep on coming back. Yes, do your price comparisons online, but I can almost guarantee you that you will end up here at IE. Plus, they are super friendly, know what they are doing, and offer suggestions and alternatives. I'm still learning all this network wiring, I'm an old crippled mechanic who still loves fixing things. My new favorite place to shop! Aloha and mahalo for great prices, and great service! read more

I needed a special cable for my cash machine that I couldn't find anywhere to buy. These guys made a new one from scratch, exactly the same as the original one using connectors Rj45 and RJ12. Now my cash machine is working again. You guys are amazing. read more

I had to create a project for district science fair , I didn't really know exactly what I should use and they helped me with deciding all my materials, they keep helping me, great employees and wonderful choices #1 shop you should go to in case you need anything. read more

Me and my kids here at the Hale Pono Boys and Girls club in Ewa Beach needed an older cord for our screen printer and wasn't able to find it anywhere else on the island. I called I.E and they were not only able to locate my cord, but they did it fairly quickly. On behalf of me and the rest of the staff here at Hale Pono; we would like to say thank you. - Oscar read more

this store isn't very large, but is much cheaper than some of the cheapest places online for all types of a/v, computer, and networking cables. they carry a large selection of HDMI / displayport / DVI conversion cables that even Best Buy does not sell. i've also found PA audio cables here that would definitely be more expensive at some locally owned music stores. read more

Best supply house ever. Deep stock, helpful and knowledgeable owners, and really good pricing.

Best electronics store I've visited on Oahu. Cat5, adapters of all types, etc, they have it all. Parking can be limited.

Whenever I've needed RG213 coax cable, I've come here. They've ALWAYS been friendly. The prices were always good. Other shops have said that they didn't have it and could bring it in. No thanks... Industrial has it. read more

They have everything you need if you're going to pull/terminate fiber or cat5e/6. They even have the coax for security cameras... and they're open early! There need to be places like this in every city. read more

Had to buy cables. Wasn't sure of the exact lettering, codes, and what-not of the cable and chose to buy from Industrial. They're very friendly, unlike those snobs at IC Supply who think they're better than you just because they know more than you do. Highly recommended, great, friendly, PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING service read more

Only place on the entire island that is reliable for electronics needs... Amazing store!!!

I just want to give a complement to this place, I was looking for a power cord to a laptop which was lost and they didn't have it in stock, so joe suggest best buy or online, i tried to purchase the cord online but wasn't sure about the voltage so i called back to ask joe a question and he was so patient with me and even took some time to help me look up the specs on the laptop. Thank you joe! read more

I was in Honolulu working on a project and needed some hdmi cables, cat6 cable, patch panels and short cat6 patch cables. The guys I was working with suggested I come to this place and I sure am glad I did. The selection is broad, everything from fiber equipment to accessories for my iphone. The staff seems pretty knowledgeable and eager to assist. I will be back the next time I'm in town for sure. read more

I cant believe this business has been around considering Graybar is right around the corner. It's pretty bad when you can't beat Graybars prices. And the snotty attitude from the owner... Yeah I will never come here again! read more
