SURPLUS WIRE FOR DATA CENTERS AND TELECOM
A data hall is planned in cable trays and delivered in boxes. When a build-out finishes, the leftover is a wall of part-boxes and short power whips that nobody wants to count.
Denver-area data centers and technology facilities generate surplus in a recognizable pattern: Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A boxes from a completed fit-out, copper power cable from PDU and RPP circuits, grounding conductors, control cable for cooling plant, and low-voltage cable from security and monitoring work.
Because data-center cable is ordered to a bill of materials, the leftovers are usually factory-sealed or lightly used, with labels intact. That makes them straightforward to review — if the box labels are photographed clearly and the counts are listed.
Telecom and carrier facilities add coaxial cable, grounding and bus-bar conductors, and DC power cable. Note the rating (plenum, riser, outdoor) on each group, since the rating decides where the cable can be reused.
Material that typically shows up
- Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A boxes, plenum and riser
- Copper power cable for PDU, RPP and panel circuits
- Grounding conductors and bonding cable
- Low-voltage, security and monitoring cable
- Coaxial and DC power cable from telecom rooms
- Control cable for mechanical and cooling plant
One thing worth knowing
Cable removed from a live data hall is handled as used material. Tell us whether it was pulled from service, and keep it separate from factory-sealed boxes so both groups can be priced properly.
Next step
Send the list and the photos
The fastest submission is a list with one line per reel and photos of the tags. If the material is in more than one place, say where each group is — logistics can be planned after the review.
