The state 02

Why Louisiana holds so much surplus cable

Louisiana's industrial map is unusually concentrated. The Mississippi corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans carries refining, chlor-alkali, vinyls, ammonia and methanol. The Calcasieu corridor carries refining, chemicals and LNG. The north holds paperboard, steel tube and forest products, and the coast holds shipyards, offshore fabrication and the ports that serve them.

Every one of those operations is electrical, every one is maintained continuously, and every one buys cable in quantities that leave balances behind. That is the supply this desk exists to review.

It also means the state's cable is not generic. A 15 kV shielded reel from a St. Charles refinery, a reel of Type K thermocouple cable from Geismar and a coil of 4/0 ACSR from a Caddo line crew are three different products with three different buyers, and they are read that way.

Regions 03

Seven regions

From the River Parishes to the Red River, each with a different industrial profile.

Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington, Lafourche and Terrebonne

Greater New Orleans

The metro's cable comes from a port, an aerospace plant, a food manufacturing base and the marine yards that stretch west along the bayous.

Open region
East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge and the northern Ascension edge

Baton Rouge & the Capital Area

The Capital Area holds the state's largest industrial complex and the contractors that maintain it, which makes it the deepest cable market in Louisiana.

Open region
Lafayette, Iberia, St. Landry, Acadia, St. Martin and Vermilion

Acadiana

Acadiana's cable lives in service yards and fabrication shops rather than plant stores, and that changes how a lot is read.

Open region
Calcasieu, Cameron, Beauregard and Allen

Southwest Louisiana & Lake Charles

Southwest Louisiana is the busiest industrial construction market in the state, and its cable reflects refining, chemicals and LNG at once.

Open region
St. Charles, St. James, St. John and the Ascension and Iberville river corridor

The River Parishes

The River Parishes are the chemical heart of Louisiana, and the cable here is specified, documented and unusually technical.

Open region
Rapides, Natchitoches, Avoyelles, Grant, Vernon, Winn and Sabine

Central Louisiana

Central Louisiana is quieter than the coast, with a manufacturing base built around consumer products, railcars and modular substations.

Open region
Caddo, Bossier, Ouachita, Lincoln, Webster and Morehouse

North Louisiana

North Louisiana's cable is mill, steel and paperboard rather than petrochemical, and its markets are spread across two metro areas.

Open region

Markets 04

Thirty-five city markets

Every city page names the industries that actually exist there, the parish's freight reality and the cable families those industries produce. Where a city's base is thin, the page says so rather than padding it.
