Bare Bright Cable vs. Tin Coated Cable

Sometimes the copper from inside can be tin coated and when that happens you will be getting less money for your hard earned stripping time. Determining how much weight you will have after you strip the 500 mcm cables will help to figure out if it is even worth stripping. If your copper is not bare bright but has a green color or a tin coating on it then you might not be better off stripping it….but just selling it to your yard as is.
