Send the printed legend, conductor material and size, voltage class and the footage on the reel tag. If the tag is gone, say so — photographs of the jacket print usually resolve it.

01
Armored cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
Armored cable wraps conductors in a flexible steel or aluminium interlock. AC and BX describe older and current forms; modern MC has largely replaced them in new work but the older constructions remain in service and in maintenance stock.
Texas surplus comes from renovations and demolitions of pre-1980s buildings, usually as partial coils rather than full reels.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage600 V branch circuit and feeder ratings.
- Sizes14 through 6 AWG, two and three conductor with ground or armour ground.
- IdentificationPrint on the armour wrap, plus the coil band.
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.
03
Constructions we buy
Reviewed separately, because they are valued separately.
Older AC and BX constructions
Maintenance stock for buildings that still contain the original wiring method.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the conductor count, gauge and coil length, plus a photograph of the armour print. Older constructions are identified by the print and the armour profile rather than by appearance alone.
Armour condition decides the review. Kinked or separated interlock cannot be pulled, and that is the usual reason an older coil is declined for reuse.
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.

Armored cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Is BX the same as MC?
No. MC uses a full-size aluminium grounding conductor or an armour grounding path and a different listing; BX and AC are older constructions with different grounding arrangements.
Do you buy damaged armour?
It is reviewed as recovery where the interlock is opened or kinked.
Are partial coils acceptable?
Yes, with a stated remaining length.
