Wire and cable buyers
MC Cable Buyers in Ohio
We purchase surplus MC cable from contractors, plants, distributors, and utilities throughout Ohio. Written offers, pickup arranged.
Electrical wire and cable only · Statewide Ohio coverage
Metal-clad cable replaced a lot of conduit on commercial projects, and Ohio contractors have the leftovers to prove it. Reels of 12/2 and 10/3 MC sit next to the larger 500 MCM feeders that were ordered for a job that finished short.
MC cable is an assembly of insulated conductors inside an interlocked metal armor. It is rated 600 volts, available with aluminum or steel armor, and commonly listed for use in cable tray, in conduit, and in exposed runs where the armor provides physical protection.
We buy branch MC in 12/2, 12/3, 10/2, and 10/3 configurations, feeder MC with two to four conductors plus ground in sizes up to 750 MCM, and MC-HL for hazardous locations. Full reels are straightforward; partial reels are purchased when the remainder is measurable.

How we evaluate and price MC Cable
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 MC Cable 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
MC Cable buying questions
Do you buy MC cable with damaged armor?
Short sections of damaged armor at the end can be cut back. Damage along the run compromises the assembly and moves it to recovery pricing.
Is MC-HL worth more than standard MC?
Usually. MC-HL is a more specialized assembly used in classified locations, and the market for it is smaller but the unit value is higher when it is clean and properly marked.
Can I sell MC cable that has already been pulled?
Yes, if the armor is not deformed and the conductors were not damaged during the pull. Pulled cable is common and we evaluate it routinely.
What is the minimum length for MC?
Branch sizes are workable from about 100 feet. Feeder sizes need more length to justify resale.
The process
How selling your surplus wire works
Four steps, no obligation, and a written offer before anything moves.
