Industrial, armored and flexible cable
Industrial reels often contain more than conductors: armor, bonding wires, shields, drains and flexible jackets affect identity. This section asks sellers to identify the actual assembly instead of treating every dark jacket or metal sheath as interchangeable.
Submit cable detailsMake the next decision with evidence
Separate the printed designation, conductor count, grounding/shield construction and observed reel condition. Exposed-run, oil, sunlight or voltage claims must match the specific item.
Cut-end and legend photographs can distinguish constructions; they are identification evidence, not electrical test reports or approval for installation.
Focused guides
MC vs AC: identify the armored cable
Use armor, bonding-wire, grounding and marker-tape evidence to differentiate Type AC and traditional Type MC surplus cable.
Technical guideTC, TC-ER and PLTC: what differs?
Compare tray-cable designation, example voltage, conductor/shield construction and required reel evidence before labeling control-cable surplus.
Technical guideIs it SOOW or SJOOW flexible cord?
Decode cited SOOW/SJOOW designations, copper/EPDM/CPE construction and lot-length evidence without judging an unknown surplus cord by color.
Technical guideRecord a VFD motor-cable reel accurately
Use a named three-conductor 2000 V VFD cable example to distinguish conductor, ground and shield construction before submitting an industrial surplus reel.
