Sell surplus electrical wire in Knoxville, Tennessee

Knoxville sits between a university, a utility headquarters and a manufacturing base. The wire reflects all three.

The University of Tennessee, TVA's presence and a broad manufacturing base give Knox County an unusually wide range of cable types. Campus renovations produce building wire and communication cable; industrial work produces tray, VFD and medium voltage cable; utility-adjacent projects leave heavier shielded reels.

We buy across Knox County and the surrounding counties, including Alcoa, Farragut and Powell. Copper and aluminum building wire, tray cable, instrumentation cable, welding cable and 5 kV through 35 kV power cable are all in scope, quoted from the reel tag wherever possible.

Knoxville questions

Do you buy medium voltage cable near Knoxville?

Yes. 5 kV through 35 kV cable, XLPE and EPR, with tape shield or concentric neutral, is purchased throughout East Tennessee.

Can you quote from a photo of the reel tag?

That is the preferred starting point. The tag carries voltage class, size, insulation and footage, which is most of what a quote needs.

Do you buy cable from panel shops?

Yes. Short lengths and partial reels from panel fabrication are common, and they can be grouped into a single quote.
