Sell Service Wire Co. Cable in Ohio

Ohio Wire Buyers buys reusable surplus Service Wire Co. cable from businesses anywhere in Ohio, for resale and reuse rather than scrap metal by the pound. To sell Service Wire cable, send reel tags, jacket print, cut-end photos and a footage list for review and a written offer before pickup.

0100 FTHow do you identify Service Wire Co. cable?

Service Wire Co. describes itself as an independent, multigeneration family-owned manufacturer. Its corporate office is in Culloden, West Virginia, and its company information lists manufacturing and distribution facilities in West Virginia, Texas and Arizona. Those are the manufacturer's facilities, not facilities operated by Ohio Wire Buyers.

Look for the manufacturer name on the cable marking and reel label, then match the product designation to the purchase paperwork. A distributor's shipping label can help trace the order, but it should not substitute for the cable's own identification. Our guide to reading cable jacket print explains what to record beyond the brand.

The Service Wire brand name and trademarks belong to their owner. Ohio Wire Buyers is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorized dealer of the manufacturer; we buy surplus product that sellers already own. Service Wire is one of the wire and cable brands we review.

0200 FTWhat matters when you sell Service Wire cable?

The construction matters more than the logo. The examples below come from Service Wire's product information; they are identification references, not a promise that every reel has the same rating or that every lot will receive an offer.

Separate loose XHHW-2 building wire from jacketed power tray cable, even when the insulated conductors look similar. For a mixed plant lot, list multiconductor control cable separately rather than describing everything as motor cable. Record what is actually printed; do not add a rating based on appearance.

0300 FTWhy keep ServicePlex twisted conductors together?

ServicePlex is an assembly of single conductors twisted together, rather than a conventional cable enclosed in an overall jacket. Service Wire lists versions with different insulation designations, conductor colors, built-in grounds and pulling-head options. Those choices can distinguish an assembled feeder from a pile of separate building wire.

Photograph the assembly as it sits on the reel, then capture each conductor's marking where accessible. Tell us whether the conductors remain together through the available length and whether any legs were trimmed shorter. A reel that contains several separate cuts should be listed by continuous length, not only by combined footage.

Do not untwist the assembly just to prepare a sale. Keeping its original arrangement and paperwork gives us more information about the product a future user would receive.

0400 FTIs ServiceDrive ordinary tray cable?

The manufacturer's ServiceDrive VFD specification describes three insulated copper conductors with three symmetrical bare copper grounds. Its copper tape shield is helically applied with overlap, and the standard jacket is black PVC. ServiceCPE and EnviroPLUS low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket options are also listed.

That is why a black jacket and conductor size alone are insufficient to identify surplus VFD cable. The ground arrangement, shield and insulation type help distinguish it from unshielded tray cable. Send the exact designation instead of assuming that cable taken from a motor circuit is VFD-rated.

Photograph an existing exposed end if it can be handled safely. Do not peel back additional jacket or remove copper tape merely to make the cable easier to photograph. Report exposed shielding, missing ground strands or damage near a removed connector.

0500 FTHow should you describe Service Wire MV-105 cable?

Service Wire's MV-105 armored cable sheet documents a 15,000-volt copper construction with EPR insulation at a 133% insulation level. It lists aluminum or galvanized steel interlocked armor and a red PVC outer jacket, with other jacket options available. Aluminum armor is not an aluminum conductor.

For this material, send the voltage and insulation-level markings along with the reel tag. Include available factory test reports and the purchase specification. Keep existing end seals intact, and disclose missing caps, exposed insulation or water entry rather than hiding them beneath fresh wrapping.

Our medium-voltage surplus cable page covers the information needed for these lots. Brand recognition does not establish suitability for another installation; condition and the exact construction still require review.

0600 FTAre partial reels and cut lengths still reusable?

A partial reel can be considered when its identity, remaining length and condition are clear enough to evaluate. Preserve the tag, but do not report its original factory footage as the amount left. If footage is uncertain, label it an estimate and explain whether it comes from jacket marks, a usage log or another method.

Use our guide to measuring wire left on a reel before making an unsupported length claim. Keep continuous cuts separate and identify splices. Reel damage also deserves a photo: a broken flange or loose winding can make handling difficult even when the cable itself appears intact.

Used cable is considered only if still reusable. Disclose crushing, cuts, heat damage and contamination, along with removal history. If the wire is not reusable, we say so; a scrap metal recycler may then be the right buyer.

0700 FTWhat should an Ohio seller send for an offer?

Start with a whole-lot photo and assign each reel or coil an identifier that also appears on your list. Take readable photos of the reel tag, complete jacket print and existing cut ends. Our wire reel tag guide helps separate a catalog number from a reel-specific identifier.

For ServicePlex, record the assembled conductors and ground rather than one conductor alone. For ServiceDrive, identify the shielded construction and jacket option. For armored MV cable, include the insulation level and armor type. Note whether each item is unused, previously pulled or removed from service.

List footage or an estimate, packaging condition and any known damage. Include proof of ownership such as an invoice, purchase order, closeout paperwork or company letter. We verify the seller and ownership and keep a written purchase record. Clear documentation helps us ask material-specific questions instead of guessing from a distant reel photo.

0800 FTHow is pickup arranged for an Ohio lot?

We arrange pickup at the seller's jobsite, warehouse, plant or yard anywhere in our Ohio service area. Ohio Wire Buyers has no Ohio street address, office, yard or drop-off. Tell us where the cable sits, whether loading equipment is available and what access restrictions affect the reels.

After reviewing the material, we reply with questions or a written offer before pickup. Payment method and timing are confirmed in writing before pickup, and the count is checked against the written terms when the lot is collected. The surplus wire selling process explains these steps without assuming every reel is identical.
