Low-voltage communication cable is the fastest-moving surplus category in a data-heavy state, and unused boxes of Cat6 still have real value.
Communication cable covers twisted pair (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A), coaxial (RG6, RG11), fiber optic (single mode and multimode), and legacy telephone cable. Most of it is 300 volt or lower and sold in 1,000 foot boxes, spools or plenum-rated reels.
Surplus arrives when a building is rewired, when a contractor over-orders for a structured cabling job, or when an IT department standardizes on a new category. Plenum-rated cable retains the most value; unopened boxes with legible print are the easiest sale.

Category and jacket rating set the price. A sealed box of Cat6A plenum is worth several times an opened box of Cat5e riser, and fiber is priced by strand count and mode. Send the box label, not just a photo of the pile.
Where a lot is mixed, we separate it into usable wire and conductor value, so the credit you receive is transparent rather than a single blended number.
Data center construction in metro Atlanta, corporate office fit-outs, hospital and school cabling projects and telecom upgrades generate most communication cable surplus in Georgia.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
Yes. Opened boxes with most of the length remaining are purchased, priced below sealed boxes because footage has to be estimated.
Yes, meaningfully. CMP plenum-rated cable costs more new and is required in air-handling spaces, so it resells faster.
Yes, including single mode and multimode, with strand counts that are still in demand. Fiber is priced by construction and length rather than by copper content.
We buy statewide. A few of the markets where this category comes up most:

Send the details below and include photos of your spools, reels and labels. Photos are what let us identify the construction, estimate footage, and give you a real number instead of a guess.
