How to read a cable reel tag
A reel tag is the only part of a cable package that carries length, date and construction together. Read it before you weigh anything, and photograph it before the reel moves.
6 stepsHow to estimate cable footage from weight
Weight gives you a length only after you know three things: the net weight, the exact construction, and the published weight per thousand feet. Get one of them wrong and the answer is confidently wrong.
6 stepsCopper versus aluminium cable: what sells
The two metals do the same job and behave nothing alike in a storehouse. Knowing which one is on the reel decides who you can sell to and how the price should be built.
6 stepsBuilding a surplus cable manifest
A manifest is not an inventory list. It is the argument for the value of the lot, written one reel at a time, in the order a buyer reads it.
6 stepsPhotographing a reel so a buyer can price it
A buyer who cannot read the tag cannot price the reel. Six photographs, taken once and named properly, do more for a lot than a page of description written from memory.
6 stepsHandling medium voltage cable safely
Shielded cable looks like heavy building wire and behaves like a charged capacitor. The handling rules that follow are written to be conservative, because the failure mode is not a scrap reel.
6 stepsStoring cable so it keeps its value
Cable does not age on a shelf the way people imagine. It ages where the water gets in, where the sun lands, and where the fork truck hits it. Three problems, all preventable.
6 stepsDecommissioning a plant: the cable checklist
Cable is the last thing anyone plans for and the first thing to lose value in a shutdown. The work that protects it happens before the demolition contractor arrives.
6 stepsSplitting a mixed lot without losing value
A mixed lot is not one asset. It is a dozen small assets sharing a pallet, and the only question is whether separating them costs more than the discount for leaving them together.
6 stepsHow to evaluate a surplus cable offer
An offer is a set of assumptions wearing a number. Read the assumptions before the figure, because the figure is worth only as much as the terms behind it.
6 stepsRather just send the lot?
The guides exist to make the conversation shorter. You can skip straight to the form.
