Concentric Neutral Cable Buyers in Ohio
We purchase surplus concentric neutral cable from contractors, plants, distributors, and utilities throughout Ohio. Written offers, pickup arranged.
Electrical wire and cable only · Statewide Ohio coverage
Concentric neutral cable wraps the neutral around the insulated conductor instead of running it alongside. It is the standard construction for underground utility distribution, and it is instantly recognizable by the spiral of copper wires under the jacket.
The neutral is described by strand count and size, such as 16 strands of 14 AWG copper, and that description matters because it determines the cable's return capacity. A reel with a partial or damaged neutral is significantly harder to place.
We buy 15 kV and 25 kV concentric neutral cable in aluminum and copper conductor versions, from 2 AWG through 1000 MCM, with original tags preferred.
Concentric Neutral specifications we work from
The table below lists the constructions and ratings we see most often. If your material does not match exactly, send the jacket print and we will identify it.
| Voltage classes | 15 kV and 25 kV standard |
|---|---|
| Neutral | Copper wires applied concentrically, various counts |
| Conductor | Aluminum or copper, stranded |
| Insulation | XLPE or EPR with semi-conductive layers |
| Typical use | Underground utility distribution, pad-mounted transformers |
What we buy in this category
- 15 kV concentric neutral URD on original reels
- 25 kV cable with full neutral counts
- Copper conductor versions in 1/0 and 2/0
- Partial reels with intact neutral wires
- Utility surplus with test documentation
How we evaluate and price Concentric Neutral
Every reel is placed in one of two buckets before a number is attached to it. Resalable cable is priced per foot on type, size, continuous length, jacket condition, and documentation. Recovery material is priced by weight on a certified scale. You see the split, because a single averaged number hides the only decision that matters.
Continuous length is the biggest variable. A reel with a legible tag and an unbroken run is straightforward. A reel with no tag, a weathered jacket, and an unknown remainder is a different product, and we will say so rather than pretend otherwise.
What helps us quote accurately
- A photograph of the reel tag showing length and manufacturer
- A close-up of the print on the jacket: type, size, voltage, temperature rating
- A wide shot showing how many reels are in the stack
- A photograph of the cut end, so the conductor and shield can be seen
- Storage history: indoors, outdoors, or in a wet area
Selling Concentric Neutral anywhere in Ohio
We buy in every county, from Cuyahoga and Franklin to the smaller counties in the southeast. There is no requirement to bring material to a yard, and we do not claim a local branch we do not have. What we do have is a straightforward process: photographs, a written offer, and a pickup that is scheduled around your operation.
If you are unsure whether your material fits this category, send it anyway. Misidentifying cable is common, and telling you that you have something more valuable than you thought is a good outcome for both of us.
Questions
Concentric Neutral buying questions
How is the neutral size described?
By the number and gauge of the individual wires, such as 16 strands of 14 AWG. The total circular mil area determines the neutral capacity.
Do you buy cable with a cut neutral?
A single cut neutral wire at the end is repairable. Multiple broken strands along the run make the cable unusable for its intended purpose.
Is concentric neutral cable used above 25 kV?
It exists at 35 kV, but tape shield constructions are more common at the higher ratings. We evaluate both.
Can I sell this without the reel tag?
Yes, based on the jacket print and a physical inspection, though the offer will be more conservative.
The process
How selling your surplus wire works
Four steps, no obligation, and a written offer before anything moves.
Send photographs and details
Reel tags, jacket print, a wide shot of the rack, and your best estimate of footage. A packing list helps if you have one.
Receive a written offer
We separate resalable cable from recovery material so you can see how the number was built.
Approve the terms
No obligation until you accept. If the offer does not work, you keep the material and we part on good terms.
Schedule pickup and payment
We coordinate loading and freight, and payment is made according to the agreed terms before material leaves.
Request a quote
Tell us what you have. Photographs of the reel tags and jacket print let us quote accurately the first time.
What happens next
- We review the wire type, condition, and footage.
- You receive a written offer that separates resalable cable from recovery value.
- If you accept, we schedule pickup and payment.
