UV stabilized POTS cable?

Try to find a local supplier that may have short ends.

its all part of learning...like left handed drill bits.

We just had a short end (abt 100 ft) of gopher gooped direct burial stolen off the truck yesterday...why anyone would want it...dunno.

I'm surprised at you Crash... What should he do?? Walk up to some guy behind a counter and ask if he "has a short end"?? That's liable to earn him a swift kick out the door!!! :-))

Sell it for the copper most likely... :-))

yah probably except there's more goop and insulation in that stuff than copper

we got these old geezers that walk around subdivisions picking up scraps...I thought it was silly till we picked up after sparky on a job a few weeks ago, my guy did anyway...he got 100 bucks for it not stripped, he woulda gotten more if he had taken the time to strip it.

now i must rethink my profession...copper picker or alarm dood?

A number of years ago, I owned an investment two family home that was built in the 30's. It had all copper gutters and down spouts. One day I pulled into the yard to collect rent and thought something looked different about the house but couldn't tell what it was, until one of the tenants asked me when the men were coming back to replace the old copper gutters and downspouts they removed the other day. Neither the police nor I were ever able to find out who did it or how they knew that the tenants wouldn't know they weren't supposed to be there. The tenants were rather elderly, so I don't think they were involved. Who ever did it sure had a pair of balls though. Even stripped the detached garage.

Most of the (real) telecom distributors will sell cut lengths of both aerial and direct burial cable. Both hold up to UV just fine with that heavy black jacket.

man thats totally weird
