Read the tag first
Manufacturer, catalog number, conductor size, voltage class and printed length. If the tag is gone, the jacket print and a photograph of the conductor carry the review.
About the desk
A buying desk for Texas cable
We purchase surplus electrical cable from the people who end up holding it: contractors, facilities teams, utilities, demolition crews and warehouses. One desk, one review process, no storefront.

Six details are enough to start: what the cable is, how much there is, where it is and what condition it is in. Photos can follow by text or email.

We buy. That is the whole business.
Most cable that becomes surplus is not scrap. It is new material that a project no longer needs, or used cable that still has usable length. The value sits in knowing which is which, and that is the work of the desk.
We buy lots outright on terms agreed in writing. We do not broker other people's cable, we do not put cable back into the trade, and we do not publish a catalog. If you need to buy cable, this is the wrong site.
What we do publish is the review criteria. Every category page explains what a buyer checks in that family. That is unusual for a buying desk, and it is deliberate: a seller who knows what is being looked at sends a better lot and gets a straighter answer.
Method
How the desk works a lot
Then the length
A printed length is a claim, not a measurement. Where it matters, the reel is weighed and the tare subtracted, or the remaining wraps are counted.
Then the condition
UV cracking, water in the wraps, crushed flanges, exposed conductor, oil-soaked jacket. Each one moves a reel between reuse, respool and recovery.
Then the logistics
Dock height, forklift, gate width, site hours, whether a lowboy can turn around. A reel that cannot be loaded is not a lot yet.
Coverage
Six counties, one desk
Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Caldwell and Burnet. That covers Austin and its ring, the SH-130 and SH-71 corridors, the I-35 spine from Jarrell to San Marcos, and the Hill Country west of Loop 360.
Larger lots can travel further. If the cable is outside those counties, send the details anyway and say where it is; the answer will be honest about whether a truck makes sense.
Questions
About the desk
Does the desk sell cable?
No. We buy cable from sellers and we do not run a storefront. This site exists to take a lot in, not to move one back out, so there is nothing here to browse, reserve or collect.
Who reviews a lot?
A buyer, not a call center. The review looks at construction, footage, condition and documentation, then sets terms for the lot as described.
What happens after a lot is agreed?
Pickup or freight is scheduled, the cable is counted or weighed against the agreed description, and the paperwork follows the terms. Nothing moves before that.
Is there a minimum lot size?
No fixed minimum, though small lots are easier to handle when they are consolidated. A single reel can be reviewed; several reels from one site are usually a better use of a truck.
