Wire and cable categories
WIRE AND CABLE WE BUY IN UTAH
Building wire, industrial cable, control and instrumentation cable, low-voltage cable, and medium and high voltage cable — copper and aluminum, full reels or partial.
Scope
Electrical Wire Buyers Utah purchases surplus electrical wire and cable from businesses located in Utah. That is the whole business, so the list below is specific: if a material is not wire or cable, it is not something we buy, and we will say so rather than waste your time.
We buy new surplus, unused and overstock material, cancelled-project stock, warehouse and distributor inventory, and used cable that still has life in it. Condition matters, but packaging does not need to be perfect — partial reels, coils, cartons and loose lengths are all normal.
Every category below has its own page with the sizes, markings and photos that make a quote fast. If your material spans several categories, skip the detail and send one list with photos; mixed lots are common.

Sizes and packaging
Sizes we commonly see
Conductor sizes from #14 through 1000 MCM come through regularly, in copper and aluminum. Larger sizes exist, but they are usually medium voltage primary cable rather than building wire.
| Category | Typical sizes | Common packaging |
|---|---|---|
| Building wire | #14 – 1000 MCM | Reels, spools, coils |
| Tray and VFD cable | #18 – #2, 2–4 conductor | Wooden reels |
| Control cable | #18 – #10, multi-conductor | Reels, coils |
| Low voltage | Category and coax | Boxes, spools |
| Medium voltage | #2 – 1000 MCM | Wooden reels |
