Low voltage cable buyers in Texas
Most surplus cable in Texas is low voltage: 600 volts and below, bought by the pallet, left over by the reel, and frequently written off because nobody wants to inventory it.

Request a review
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.

Low voltage cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
We review low voltage power, control and building cable from contractors, plants, distributors and data centres across the state — THHN and THWN, XHHW, tray cable, MC and AC, SER, portable cord, control and instrumentation cable.
Low voltage does not mean low value. A full reel of 500 kcmil XHHW copper has obvious worth, but so does a pallet of mixed 10 and 12 AWG THHN when it is separated by colour and size and documented. The work is in the sorting, and it is the seller's work to do or to accept a lower outcome for.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage600 V and below: building wire, tray cable, control cable, portable cord and equipment wire.
- ConductorCopper or aluminium, solid or stranded, 18 AWG through 1000 kcmil.
- InsulationTHHN/THWN/THWN-2 PVC-nylon, XHHW/XHHW-2 XLPE, TFFN, machine tool wire, rubber and thermoset jackets.
- PackagingFull reels, partial reels, coils, cut lengths and palletised remnants.
- What identifies itSurface printing, reel label, box label, conductor colour and stranding.
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.
Tray, MC and AC cable
Tray-rated and armored constructions from plant and commercial work, reviewed by conductor count, armour and length.
Control and instrumentation
Multi-conductor control cable, shielded pairs, thermocouple extension and signal cable.
Portable cord and equipment wire
SOOW, SEOOW, welding cable and machine tool wire from yards, shops and decommissioned equipment.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the wire type as printed on the jacket, the AWG or kcmil size, conductor count, insulation, colour if it matters, and the footage. For partial reels, give the starting and ending numbers from the reel tag when they exist.
Mixed pallets are accepted but should be described as mixed. A buyer reviewing a photograph of a shrink-wrapped pallet cannot tell 12 AWG from 4 AWG, and will price the whole thing defensively. Ten minutes with a marker and a list changes that.
Keep copper and aluminium separate, keep lead-bearing and specialty cable out of the general pile, and do not strip insulation to prove what is inside. If the cable is still usable, stripping it destroys more value than it recovers.
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.

Low voltage cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
What is the smallest quantity you review?
There is no minimum, but freight economics decide whether a small lot is practical. A single partial reel is reviewed; whether it can be collected depends on distance and value.
Do you buy mixed pallets of building wire?
Yes, as mixed material. Separating by size, colour and insulation type before the review generally produces a better outcome than selling the pallet as one unit.
Is THHN the same as THWN?
No. THHN is rated for dry locations at 90°C; THWN adds a wet-location rating, and THWN-2 adds a 90°C wet rating. The printed suffix matters, so photograph the actual jacket print.
Do you buy stripped copper wire?
Stripped conductor is handled as recovery material, not as reusable cable. If the cable is still identifiable and usable, stripping it usually destroys more value than it creates.
