Sell Cat6 cable by the box or the reel.
Four-pair data cable in boxes and partial reels, from fit-outs and data centre rough-ins, where jacket rating and remaining length decide the lot.
Cat6 is the cable everyone has too much of. A cabling contractor finishes a floor and has six opened boxes left; an office move leaves partial reels in a riser closet; a data centre rough-in leaves spools that were never touched.
It is light, it stacks easily and it is easy to store badly. Boxes left in a damp room or a hot trailer are still reviewed, but the jacket and the remaining length are checked first.

01 Form
Boxes, reels and what is left
Cat6 arrives in pull boxes, usually 1,000 ft, and on larger reels for backbone work. An opened box with 400 ft left is a partial, and it is measured or estimated from the box markings.
Where several partial boxes came from the same job, list them together and note the approximate remaining length in each.
- Sealed factory boxes, still wrapped.
- Opened boxes with a known remainder.
- Partial reels from backbone or riser work.
- Pulled cable, usually cut into short lengths and rarely worth listing.
02 Construction
Plenum, riser and shielded
CMP plenum and CMR riser jackets are different products, and shielded Cat6 is different again. The print identifies all three, and it is read before anything else.
Write the print on the list if you can read it. It answers the rating question without a site visit.
03 Sources
Data centre and office sources
Office fit-outs and data centre rough-ins are the two steady sources. Both produce clean, recent material, and both tend to leave it behind when the job closes because nobody wants to carry boxes back.
FAQ Seller questions
What sellers ask before they send a list
Answers describe how the buying desk works. They are not an offer, a rate or a promise of purchase.
Do you buy opened boxes of Cat6?
Yes, with the approximate remaining length noted. An opened box is a partial, and it is reviewed on footage and jacket condition rather than on the box being unsealed.
Does plenum Cat6 differ from riser Cat6?
Yes. CMP and CMR are different ratings and are recorded separately. The print on the jacket identifies which one a box contains.
Is pulled Cat6 bought?
Usually not on its own, since pulled cable is cut into short lengths with little usable footage. It can be included in a mixed low voltage lot but is rarely the reason for a collection.
Can Cat6 be stored outside?
It can, but it should not be. Boxes absorb moisture and jackets degrade in heat. Indoor storage keeps a lot reviewable.
