How this index works 02
Cable types
Surplus cable is not one product. A reel of 15 kV shielded cable and a coil of 12 AWG building wire are bought by different processes, at different values, for different reasons, and a page that treats them as one thing is not useful.
This index is organised by the questions that actually decide a lot: what the construction is, how it is identified, and what makes it reusable rather than recoverable. Every family links to the markets where it appears.
Power and building wire 03
