Shielded power feeder
Plant and campus distribution cable pulled during upgrades or left over from a cancelled project. The shield type and jacket condition are the first things we check.

Medium voltage cable buyers in Texas
Medium voltage cable is the highest-value wire most industrial sellers hold — and the easiest to undervalue when it is sold by weight. Construction, voltage class and footage decide the outcome.

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.

Medium voltage cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
We review surplus, obsolete and removed medium voltage cable from plants, utilities, cooperatives, contractors and data-centre campuses across Texas. The range runs from 2 kV tray-rated cable through 5 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV shielded power cable, in copper and aluminium.
A scrap price treats all of it as copper or aluminium by weight. That is the wrong measure for a reel that still has a construction, a voltage class and 1,800 feet of usable length. The review starts with the printed legend and the reel tag, not the scale.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage classes2 kV, 5 kV, 8 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV; 600 V tray and power cable is handled on the low-voltage page.
- ConductorCopper or aluminium, stranded, typically 2 AWG through 1000 kcmil, single or three-conductor.
- Insulation and shieldEPR or XLPE insulation, semi-conducting conductor and insulation screens, metallic tape or wire shield, overall jacket.
- Common constructionsMV-90, MV-105, shielded power cable, URD and riser cable, airport lighting and specialty shielded constructions.
- What identifies itPrinted legend, voltage rating, conductor size, insulation type, shield description, manufacturer and reel footage.
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
Direct-burial and duct-rated MV cable from utility and cooperative work, reviewed only with documented release from the owning utility.
Riser and substation cable
Riser cable and substation leads with intact semi-conducting screens. Cut ends must be sealed and photographed before transport.
Removed MV cable
Cable pulled from service is reviewed honestly. Known damage, moisture ingress and unknown footage move a lot from reuse toward recovery.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the voltage class, conductor material and size, insulation type, shield construction, manufacturer, reel tag and footage. Photograph the full reel, the printed legend and both cable ends. If the ends are sealed, photograph the seal; do not open a sealed end to prove the conductor.
Medium voltage cable is not a commodity where one number fits all. A 15 kV 500 kcmil copper reel with documented footage and an intact jacket is a different asset from 300 feet of unknown 25 kV cable with a crushed reel. Both can be reviewed, but they will not be valued the same way.
Safety matters more here than on building wire. Do not cut, strip, bend sharply or test cable that may be energised. De-energising, discharging and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.
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.

Medium voltage cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
What voltage classes do you review?
From 2 kV through 35 kV, including 5 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV shielded cable. Above 35 kV is reviewed case by case because handling and testing requirements change.
How is medium voltage cable valued?
On voltage class, conductor material and size, insulation and shield construction, condition, documented footage, reel integrity and current demand. Metal content is one input, not the valuation.
Do you buy cable with cut or damaged ends?
Yes, but the condition is disclosed in the review. Cut ends that were not sealed can take on moisture, which affects insulation performance and therefore value.
Can you review cable still installed in a plant?
We review the material, but it must be de-energised and removed by qualified personnel before it can be sold or moved. Removal, rigging and site work are separate from the purchase unless written terms say otherwise.
