Cable
Low-Grade Cable
Low-grade cables consist of poorly insulated cables containing steel wire, generally used for communications.Â
We have scrap metal collectors on our network who pay fantastic prices for your scrap plugs!
Scrap plugs, in their simple form, are connectors found on the end of certain cables. These ‘plugs’ can be cut from the wire and sold spare to scrap metal dealers and collectors.
Within the plugs, a pin connects the connectors. Within the plugs, you will commonly find some brass which can be collected and sold.
Prices for scrap plugs aren’t set in stone!
Certain scrap metal merchants will only accept and pay for scrap plugs if they have been removed from any wiring.
Additionally, the less water product attached to the plugs when being old will account for a better scrap price.
For example, if you were to dismantle the plugs and collect the brass, then sell it on its own, you can expect to receive a better price than if you kept everything intact.
For this reason, prices for scrap plugs are affected by brass metal markets. Other factors to consider are where you are, how much you have, and how much you’ll receive from certain buyers of metal waste.
Scrap plugs can be commonly found across many environments and applications. Due to their uses in commercial and domestic environments, scrap plugs can be used for appliances that stem from your humble kettle to large factory equipment.
Any household will have plugs that they can scrap.
Although, those within the trade usually collect scrap plugs to weigh the brass (and other metal components) to their local scrapyard.
Low-grade cables consist of poorly insulated cables containing steel wire, generally used for communications.Â
Insulated Aluminium cable, otherwise known as armoured aluminium cable, is commonly used in power networks in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Often found as insulated cable, Lead Copper cable is sheathed with a thick outer layer and is commonly used in external construction and road networks.Â
Shiny and bright, the high-grade cable is a bare copper with no coat or alloy. One of the most valuable and highest-paying copper grades.
Also known as three phase cable, lowgrade cables consist of two conjoined strands of copper which have been covered by ferrous metal armour.
