What accumulates in these facilities
- Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6A in boxes and partial boxes after a cabling standard change
- Coax and communication cable from camera and signal work
- Control and instrumentation cable from monitoring and switchgear projects
- Tray cable and TC-ER from power distribution
- Medium-voltage cable from substation, switchgear and feeder projects
- Grounding conductor and bare copper from grounding grid work
- Temporary power cord from construction phases
Utilities, co-ops and generation
Utilities and co-ops hold medium-voltage inventory, grounding conductor and service cable. Generation operators hold control cable, instrumentation and motor feeder cable from outage work.
This material usually comes with documentation: reel tags, factory lengths, sometimes test reports. That documentation is what makes a medium-voltage reel quotable with confidence.
Why documentation matters here
Data center and utility cable
- Products
- Cat 6, coax, control, tray, medium voltage, grounding
- Voltage
- Low voltage through 69kV and above
- Sizes
- #22 through 1000 MCM
- Records
- Reel tag, factory length, test report, project spec
- Quantity
- Box count, reel count, footage
- Condition
- Sealed, partial, cut end, stored outdoors
- Access
- Loading dock, secured yard, escort required
Medium and high voltage lots are reviewed on their documentation as well as their photos.
Security and access
Data centers and utility yards have access control. Tell us what is required: background checks, escorted access, appointment windows, dock availability and whether a trailer can be staged on site.
Planning that in advance is the difference between a smooth pickup and a wasted trip.
FAQ
Questions we get from sellers
Do you buy boxes of Cat 6 left from a cabling project?
Yes, sealed and partial boxes are both quotable. State the category rating and the remaining footage.
Is medium-voltage cable from a deferred project of interest?
Yes, particularly with reel tags and documented lengths. Send the details and photos before moving it.
Do you buy grounding conductor from a grid project?
Yes. Bare copper grounding conductor is quoted by weight and condition.
