Cable Management
At Copper Wire & Cable, we prioritize providing comprehensive project support, which often involves a significant focus on Cable Management. Our Cable Management Program is flexible and can range from a straightforward logistics package to a sophisticated, fully integrated bundle of services. Our Program is designed to accommodate a variety of needs and can include any or all of the following services:
Lock-in copper prices – Uncertainty of copper price fluctuations can be firmed on the day of order.
Specification clarification and interpretation – We have many years of experience in the technical evaluation and formation of wire and cable specifications. Since we represent a wide range of manufacturers we offer assistance ensuring your specifications are up-to-date and that the materials furnished meet or exceed you and your customers’ expectations. In addition, we can assist with value-added engineering with a selection of alternative constructions to decrease overall project costs.
Prepurchase of bulk wire and cable for the project – Under contract we can acquire all cable items needed for a particular project, ensuring there is no guesswork. Furthermore, we can seamlessly accommodate any changes to the cable requirements throughout the duration of the project. In most cable management scenarios, we do not invoice you for the cable until it is released to the job site.
Storage – Cable is stored indoors at the facility, at the job site, or near the job site as project requirements dictate.
Packaging – Cable can be released in bulk reels to the job site when specific lengths are unavailable. If individual pull requirements are known, the cable can be cut to a specified length, wrapped, and tagged with all applicable identifying information. Our packaging reduces waste, and labor costs, and makes installation faster and easier. Your cable arrives at the job site consistently damage-free and ready to use, minimizing freight claims and costly reissuing of releases and scheduling of field resources.
Shipping – Your releases are packaged and shipped via 53-ft. enclosed trucks on LTL or FTL carriers. Upon special request, large cable reels can be sent in an upright rolling position on a flatbed trailer for easy unloading at the job site. Your cable will arrive free of damage and is ready for use. Releases ship within 24-48 hours anywhere in the continental United States.
Documentation and reporting – Throughout the project term, we provide comprehensive, up-to-the-minute analysis of the cable package that has been implemented for your job. By closely monitoring the cable down to each specific reel, we are able to minimize waste and identify usage trends, thus ensuring a continuous flow of product throughout the entirety of your project.
End-of-project disposal – Upon completion of the project, any unused material in appropriate lengths can be stored in our inventory with pre-determined stocking terms. This valuable service helps to prevent the common occurrences of selling excess cable at the end of a job or disposing of it as scrap.
In addition to the above menu of services, Copper Wire and Cable can perform any task requested to make your project’s wire and cable requirements flow smoothly.
