Wire we buy
We buy surplus low-voltage and communication cable
Low-voltage work leaves cartons: 1,000-foot boxes of data cable opened for one run, partial boxes of fire alarm cable, spools of thermostat and speaker wire. Boxed and labelled, these lots are easy to quote.
01Overview
What Low voltage / communication surplus usually is
Low-voltage and communication cable covers fire alarm cable rated for plenum or riser installation, twisted-pair data cable, coaxial cable, thermostat and control wire, speaker and security cable. It is usually copper and usually light, which makes it easy to store and easy to forget.
Because it is sold in 500-foot and 1,000-foot boxes, partial boxes are the norm. A box that has had 300 feet pulled out still holds 700 feet and still has value if the label and the remaining footage are known.
02Specifications
What we need to identify the material
| Common constructions | FPLR and FPLP fire alarm cable, Cat5e and Cat6, coax, thermostat wire, speaker cable, security cable, low-voltage control |
|---|---|
| Typical sizes | #22 through #14; 18/2, 18/4, 16/2 and 14/2 are the most common low-voltage constructions |
| Configuration | 2 to 8 conductor, twisted pairs, shielded and unshielded |
| Voltage rating | Low voltage, typically 30V to 300V depending on construction |
| Packaging we see | 500 ft and 1,000 ft boxes, spools, partial boxes, cartons of cut lengths |
Send these with the quote request
- Photos of the reel tags, spool labels or printed jacket legend so the wire type can be read exactly.
- One photo of the whole reel, spool or pallet so quantity and packaging are visible.
- Gauge or MCM, conductor metal (copper or aluminum), voltage rating and conductor count where known.
- Approximate footage, reel count or total weight, plus the condition and how it is stored.
- City and ZIP code where the material sits, plus loading access (dock, forklift, ground level).
03Details
How this material is quoted
What we can and cannot take
We buy copper low-voltage and communication cable. We are not the buyer for fiber-optic cable, and we do not buy alarm panels, cameras, access-control hardware or other low-voltage equipment — only the cable itself. Keeping the offer that narrow is deliberate.
Labels and remaining footage
Box labels carry the part number, footage and rating (for example FPLR or CMP). Photograph the label and, where the box has a printed counter, the counter. If the footage is unknown, estimate it and say it is an estimate.
Plenum and riser ratings
Plenum-rated cable is worth more than riser or general-purpose cable because it is used in air-handling spaces. Note the rating from the print; it is one of the few things that reliably changes the value of a boxed lot.
04Questions
Low voltage / communication questions sellers ask
Do you buy partial boxes of Cat6?
Yes, when the label is readable and the remaining footage can be estimated. Large lots of mixed data cable are more attractive than a single partial box.
Is fire alarm cable bought separately from data cable?
It can be, and it is often worth listing separately because the ratings and buyers differ. Sending them as one clearly described lot is fine too.
