Sell Communication and Low Voltage Cable in Tennessee

Structured cabling, fire alarm and Class 2 wiring.

Low voltage work generates small, high-mix leftovers: a box of plenum Cat6, a partial spool of fire alarm cable, a coil of shielded control wire. Individually they are minor; collected from a few projects they are worth a quote.

We buy communication cable, shielded cable, fire alarm cable and low voltage cable in riser and plenum ratings, including Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, coax, FPLR, FPLP and Class 2 and 3 constructions. Boxes, spools and partial reels are all acceptable.

Reading the reel

For boxed cable, the remaining length is usually printed on the box or the pull string. For plenum and riser ratings, the print on the jacket is the only reliable source, so photograph it rather than the carton.

Questions about Low Voltage

Do you buy opened boxes of Cat6?

Yes. Note the approximate remaining length, and whether the box is plenum or riser rated.

How do I tell plenum from riser?

The jacket print carries CMP for plenum and CMR for riser. That marking, not the box color, determines the rating.

Is fire alarm cable purchased separately?

Yes. FPLR and FPLP constructions are quoted as their own category because the listing matters to the next user.

Can I sell small quantities?

Small lots are accepted. Group them by type and length so the quote can be built in one pass.
