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
VFD cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
VFD cable uses three symmetric power conductors with a full copper shield or armour and integral grounds, in 600 V and 1 kV ratings, from 16 AWG to 500 kcmil.
Texas compressor stations, pumpjacks, water utilities and plant retrofits generate it. Reels are usually tagged and the print identifies the shield construction.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage600 V and 1 kV drive ratings.
- ConstructionThree symmetric conductors, full copper shield or armour, three grounds.
- IdentificationPrint naming the drive cable type, shield and conductor count.
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.
Armoured drive cable
Armoured constructions with a continuous shield.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the print, size, conductor count and footage. Photograph the shield at a cut end, since that is the fact that decides whether the reel still serves a drive.
A damaged shield is not a field repair. Cable with a breached jacket and unknown moisture under the armour is reviewed as recovery, not as drive cable.
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.

VFD cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Why is VFD cable different from tray cable?
The symmetric layout and full shield control drive noise. Standard tray cable does not provide that, whatever its voltage rating.
Do you buy armoured VFD cable?
Yes, with the shield and jacket continuous. A breached jacket is disclosed.
What if the drive is gone?
The cable is reviewed on its own construction; the equipment it served is not part of the transaction.
