Coaxle Wire Question

[ocedy]

Hey need some help. I found two rolls of coaxle at dumpster. Can I just put it in with my steel s rap and run across the scale? Thanks

You might keep it separate and ask if they have a price for coax cable. Mine is 0.12/lb.

Double check the cable first to make sure its not a higher grade. Mechanic and I strip the higher grade stuff...used in CB Antenna coax...I think rg-58. It will have copper braided shielding and copper core.

I get 0.22 a pound.

Well I stuck the magnet to it and it stuck. I will keep it Sep. But steel where I am is paying $12.25 per 100#. Mick thanks for the information. Ced

does anyone strip it? I found 50 feet maybe, its a copper center with alum braid. at least 20 feet has already been taken down to the alum braid.

Much/most of the cable tv cable is steel core(with a copper coating) and Al braid. The DirectTV coax has a solid copper core and for me worth stripping. As was stated before the cb/ham radio coax normally has a copper braid and solid copper core. Some coax has a solid copper core and Al braid. The only stuff I don't strip is the Steel core ones. (by core I am referring to the center conductor) Mike.

Does it have a solid copper core(center conducter)? Mike.

And the real fooler will be the steel can be copper coated. Might have to scrape it or use a magnet on it.
