i am looking for advice on this wire type and what to do

Just walk away and forget about it.

Best guess is that the loose end went up the utility pole and attached to something up there. The other end might be feeding to an underground service that goes to a building. Could possibly be a ground wire of some kind as well.



Anyway ... cutting it off could cause them some real problems if they need to re-attach it someday. Don't do that. Messing with their stuff is illegal and could get you in trouble with the police.

yes i know that thats why i was going to call someone to see if they were going to repair it or just cut it off themseleves anyway i will post something when i call someone so at least they know its down seems to me that it might be attached to a ground spike thing for lightning i bet a snowplow took it down or something. if they do manage to give it to me i will post a pick of it and maybe they can at least tell me what it is no harm in asking shuold be interesting. who knows maybe they will give me more stuff or be a contact for wires cant hurt to ask that is how we get our stuff after all without people to ask we would have no scap to sell lol.
