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.

Send the construction, size and footage. Photos can follow.
01
Control cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
Control cable carries signals and switching rather than power: 16, 14 and 12 AWG conductors, two to thirty-seven of them, in 600 volt constructions with PVC, CPE or LSZH jackets. Shielded versions add a foil or braid to keep switching noise out of analogue circuits.
In Texas plants the surplus comes from panel builds, motor control centre replacements and shutdown work. Reels are frequently partial, and the conductor count and shield type are what a buyer needs before anything else.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage600 V control and signal ratings.
- Sizes16, 14, 12 and 10 AWG, with 2 to 37 conductors.
- ShieldUnshielded, overall foil, braid, or foil plus drain wire.
- JacketPVC, CPE, LSZH; some constructions are tray-rated.
- What identifies itJacket print with conductor count, AWG, voltage and shield description.
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.
Shielded control cable
Foil and braid shielded constructions for analogue and interlock circuits.
Tray-rated control
TC or TC-ER rated control cable, reviewed with the tray listing noted.
Partial reels
Reels with a legible tag or a stated remaining length.

How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the conductor count, AWG, shield type and footage. The print gives all four in one line on most constructions, so a single clear photograph usually completes the technical side of the review.
Shield integrity cannot be judged from a photograph. If a reel has been cut and the foil is torn back, say so; that is the fact that decides reuse or recovery for shielded cable.
Control cable is often mixed on a pallet by conductor count. Sorting by count before pickup speeds the review and avoids a lot being re-quoted on site.
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.

Control cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Do you buy cable with only a few conductors?
Yes. Two and three conductor control cable is common and is reviewed the same way as larger counts.
Does shielding change the offer?
It changes the construction and therefore the basis. Shielded cable serves circuits that unshielded cable cannot, so the shield type is part of the review.
Can you work from a photo of the print?
For conductor count, AWG and voltage, yes. Footage still needs a tag or a measurement.
