Service and feeder cable
SER, SEU and XHHW aluminium feeders from commercial and industrial work, often in full or near-full reels.

Aluminium wire buyers in Texas
Aluminium cable is lighter, cheaper and far more common than most sellers assume — and it is frequently mispriced because it is treated as a poor relation of copper.

Aluminium wire we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
We review aluminium wire and cable from Texas utilities, cooperatives, contractors, plants and distributors: service entrance and feeder cable, URD and underground distribution, ACSR and overhead conductor, and aluminium building wire in the larger sizes.
Aluminium has its own handling rules. It work-hardens, its terminations are less forgiving, and bare overhead conductor is judged on stranding and corrosion rather than on insulation. A lot described as 'aluminium wire' tells us almost nothing; the construction does.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Forms we reviewSER and SEU, XHHW aluminium, URD and USE-2, ACSR, AAC and AAAC overhead conductor, and aluminium bus bar.
- Sizes6 AWG through 1000 kcmil in insulated cable; ACSR by stranding designation such as 477 kcmil Kiwi.
- ConstructionsCompact and compressed stranded, multiplex URD, triplex and quadruplex service drop.
- ConditionNew surplus, unused reels, removed conductor and weathered overhead material.
- What identifies itJacket print, reel tag, stranding designation and conductor diameter.
Send what the reel says. A printed legend and a reel tag are stronger evidence than a description written from memory. If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown rather than guessing.

Constructions we buy
Reviewed separately, because they are valued separately.
URD and underground distribution
Triplex, quadruplex and single-conductor URD, with documented release where utility-owned.
ACSR and overhead conductor
Reel and cut lengths of ACSR and alloy conductor, judged on stranding, corrosion and remaining length.
Aluminium building wire
Large-size aluminium building wire and cut-offs from plant and contractor stock.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the construction, the stranding or size, the voltage rating, the manufacturer and the footage. For overhead conductor, photograph a cut end so the stranding and any corrosion can be seen.
Aluminium prices sit below copper, and that is expected. What should not happen is an aluminium lot being valued at scrap weight when it is a documented, unused reel of a construction that is still specified. That is the case we are looking for.
Weathering is the main condition issue. Overhead conductor that has been strung and removed will have surface oxidation and possibly strand damage; underground cable that has been wet will show it at the ends. Both are reviewable facts, not automatic disqualifications.
Safety first. Never cut, strip, disconnect or move energised cable to prepare a sale. De-energising and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.

Aluminium wire questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Do you buy ACSR conductor?
Yes, including reel and cut lengths. Stranding designation, condition and length determine whether it is reusable conductor or recovery material.
Is aluminium cable from a utility cooperative eligible?
Only with documented release from the owning utility or cooperative. We do not buy material whose title is unclear.
How do you value aluminium versus copper?
Separately and on different markets. Aluminium is lighter per foot and lower per pound, so a fair comparison is by construction and length, not by reel count.
Do you buy triplex and quadruplex service drop?
Yes, when the conductor size, insulation and length are identifiable. Weathered service drop is reviewed on condition.
