Control cable is the nervous system of a plant, and when a line is upgraded or replaced, the leftover reels are usually still fully usable.
Control cable is a multiconductor assembly, usually 18 AWG to 10 AWG with 2 to 37 conductors, rated 600 volts, with PVC, XLPE or PE insulation and often an overall shield. It carries start-stop signals, interlocks and relay logic between panels and equipment.
Surplus control cable is documentation-heavy: conductor count, AWG, shield type and voltage all affect who can use it. Reels that still carry the manufacturer tag and jacket print move quickly; unmarked coils are slow.
| Construction | Multiconductor with overall jacket, optional shield |
|---|---|
| Voltage rating | 600V |
| Temperature | 90 degrees C to 105 degrees C depending on construction |
| Size range | 18 AWG through 10 AWG |
| Standard | UL 1277, UL 13, NEC Article 725 and 727 |
Conductor count drives price more than total copper weight. A 2-conductor 16 AWG reel and a 37-conductor 16 AWG reel of the same length are completely different products. List the count precisely.
We price against what the material is worth as usable wire, then compare that to conductor value so you can see the difference. If a reel has lost its jacket or its print, we say so and price it accordingly.
Automotive suppliers, food plants, paper mills and chemical facilities in Georgia replace control cable during line changes. Maintenance stockrooms typically hold far more than they will use.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
Yes. High conductor count control cable is exactly what plants accumulate and rarely use up, so it is a common purchase for us.
We can count it from a clear photo of the cut end. Without print, the cable is harder to resell, and that affects the offer.
Generally yes, because shielded constructions are specified for noisy industrial environments and cost more new.
We buy statewide. A few of the markets where this category comes up most:
