Sell SER, SEU, URD and USE-2 Cable in Tennessee
Service entrance and underground cable, reel by reel.
Service entrance and underground distribution cable is ordered in long lengths and often left over when a service is resized or a pad is moved. SER and SEU feed panels and subpanels; URD and USE-2 go underground to outbuildings, poles and pads.
We buy all four families in copper and aluminum, from 6 AWG through 4/0 and larger paralleled sets, on full reels or partial lengths. Mobile home feeders, temporary service cable and leftover underground runs are all considered.

Reading the reel
For underground cable, tell us whether it has been buried. Cable that has been in the ground is evaluated differently from reel stock, and honesty about it speeds up the quote instead of slowing it down.
Questions about SER / SEU / URD
Do you buy aluminum SER?
Yes. Aluminum SER and SEU are common in Tennessee residential and light commercial work, and they are purchased alongside copper.
What is URD used for?
URD is underground residential distribution cable, typically aluminum, used for service runs to homes, pads and outbuildings.
Can I sell cable that was already buried?
Yes, with the condition disclosed. Send photos of the jacket and the ends, and note how long it was in service.
How much footage do you need?
There is no fixed minimum. A single partial reel can be worth quoting; larger lots are simply easier to schedule for pickup.
