Data and communication cable scrap
Telecom, coaxial and network cable.
What we accept
Telecom, coaxial and network cable. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.
Copper content varies by type
Telecom, coaxial and network cable are built differently and recover different amounts of metal. Each is assessed on its own rather than taken as one stream.
Where it comes from
Telecom strip out, office refits and network replacement, usually in drums or coiled runs.
Low recovery by weight
Telecom, network and coaxial cable carry fine conductors inside a large volume of insulation. Recovery per tonne sits well below power cable and is priced accordingly.
Coaxial against twisted pair
Coaxial carries a solid or stranded centre inside a braid or foil screen. Twisted pair carries many fine pairs. The two recover differently and are kept apart.
