Often it is useful to buy your cable assemblies pre-made and in short standard lengths. An example is a 12-inch RG58 coaxial cable to connect nearby instruments on a lab bench. But just as often it is more advantageous to order your cable in bulk quantities. A bulk cable roll allows you to cut your cable assemblies in the exact custom lengths you need for more efficient wiring and less waste. It also makes long-distance cable runs simpler and more efficient, with fewer connection points. In addition, using bulk cable can cost up to half as much as buying pre-cut lengths.
This blog post is your guide if you are considering buying cable in bulk lengths at MilesTek. We offer a big variety of bulk cable in rolls up to 2,000 feet or cut to the length you need. When you purchase bulk cable from us you get six big benefits:
- Bulk Cable in Multiple Configurations
We offer bulk cable in no fewer than five categories to meet most needs you might have:
- Triaxial cable – Our triax has additional layers of insulation and shielding for greater protection from interference. This is the preferred solution for sending audio and video signals for broadcast and test applications.
- Twinaxial cable – Our twinax has both PVC and Teflon jackets for laboratory and high-temperature applications.
- Coaxial cable – Our full line of coax serves broadcast, RF, networking, security, and microwave applications. They include CATV, CCTV, serial digital, and LMR products.
- Category cable – We have a large inventory of Cat5 and Cat6 cable in multiple colors for immediate shipment. This includes Cat5e riser-rated and Cat6 plenum-rated options.
- USB cable – Our USB 3.0 cable brings you speeds up to 4.8 Gbps and two unidirectional data paths – one to receive data and the other to transmit. It uses U0 to U3 link power management for maximum power when used for charging and power delivery.
- Bulk Cable in Custom Lengths
The term “bulk quantity” might bring to mind the image of an assembly line. But at MilesTek it means the opposite. From testing purposes to huge installations, MilesTek can cut your order to exactly what you need. This benefit helps to reduce waste, save money, and cut your excess inventory. There is no need to find a place to store surplus cabling and you get a cost-efficient, custom solution. Bulk cable can be ordered in as small an increment as one foot!
- Bulk Cable Is Cost-Efficient
As with most products, you will save money by buying cable in bulk – the longer the roll, the greater the savings. For instance, twinaxial cable costs about 60 cents less per foot for 100 feet than if you buy 10 feet. A 2,000-foot roll of USB 3.0 cable costs about 12 cents less per foot than a 500-foot roll.
- Bulk Cable for Quicker Maintenance
When you use bulk cable to wire a server room, audiovisual equipment, etc., you can cut cable to the exact lengths you need. This not only eliminates the mess of excess cable, but makes it easier to install, remove or re-route cords and to troubleshoot wiring problems. Faulty connections are easier to find in a well-ordered installation, which means less downtime during maintenance.
