Coaxial & Twisted Pair Cable for Sale

What might be the last operational Sears department store in the world is located here in Greensboro, North Carolina. That distinction is going to end very soon - not because more are slated to open, but because it is finally closing its doors. I consider the demise of Sears, Roebuck & Co. to be a national tragedy. It is yet another of the major companies from the foundation of America's world economic and technical leadership that has either gone out of business or sold out to foreign entities.

Melanie and I visited the Sears during the final days when used fixtures, office equipment, and maintenance items were all that was left. A table of spools of various types of cable presented an opportunity to get some pretty good deals on RG-59 coax and a few kinds of twisted pair cables. I bought a few for myself, but also got many others that I figured someone else would find useful. Some reels / boxes are full or nearly full, and I guestimate at least 100 feet on others. Photos are shown below. Since I do not have the time or the will to unspool, measure the length of, and re-spool any of it, your powers of estimations will be relied upon.

Because of the weight, local pickup here in southeast Greensboro, NC, will be the best method for delivery. Selling the entire lot together is preferred. Of course I at least want to make back what I paid for it, so I'm setting the price at $250 (cash payment only). There is easily more than $1000 worth of cable here (probably more like $2000).

Anatech Electronics RF & Microwave Filters - RF Cafe Website

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
