Documenting cable removed from service

Removed cable is not damaged cable by definition, but a buyer cannot tell the difference without a record. Five fields close the gap.

Record the circuit

Which feeder, which voltage, which service. That single line tells a buyer what duty the cable saw and whether the insulation was stressed by load or environment.

Record the removal

Date, who removed it, and how. Cable pulled with a tugger and cable cut out in sections are different propositions, and the difference shows at the ends.

Record the condition at removal

Sealed ends, jacket damage, moisture exposure, kinks from coiling. Notes taken at removal are credible; notes written a year later are not.

Photograph before storage

Photographs taken at removal, with the reel tag in frame, settle most later questions and prevent a good lot being priced as unknown.

Questions on this topic

Short answers to the details sellers ask about most.

Does removed cable sell?
Yes, disclosed as removed. It is reviewed on condition and documentation rather than assumed to be new.
Do I need test results?
Not for most reviews. For medium voltage, a test record strengthens the case considerably.
What if nobody recorded the removal?
The cable can still be reviewed, but it will be treated as recovered material of uncertain history.
