NEC-2002 called for the removal of accessable abandoned cable. BOMA had tried to get this revised in 2005. I have not found definitive proof they were successful. Does anyone have experience with this. I was thinking of persuing this in my market.

Thanks,
Chris

"Abandoned cable? What abandoned cable? I don't see any abandoned cable?" This is a quote from our official company handbook.

I have never seen any abandoned cable either. I've seen cable that hasn't been used in a long time---but who knows what tomorrow brings. Today we used some pairs on 4 25 pair cables that weren't used in over 30 years, I would suspect. I'm awful glad they weren't pulled out.

Doesn't the NEC say something about removal of abandoned cable OR tagging it as no longer used (sorry guys, 3:52 a.m., I don't feel like looking it up right now!)

I am not sure, but here in Big D every major re-model has turned out all cable removed from ceiling resulting in my cabling fresh. This has been going on for a couple of years.

Dallas acted on the NEC when the NPA approved it in 2002. In DC, VA and MD, it is about to take effect. In some places in MD, it goes in effect at the end of this month. VA & DC will most likley approve in the fall. Now inspectors can withhold occupation permits based the NEC regulations.

Personally I like the idea of removing abandoned cable. I get paid to remove the wire and usually get to keep it. The scrap yards around here won't give you much for it although. Recently I had some Cherokee Indians approach me to buy scrap wire. They use it to make copper jewelry, belt buckles and such. They pay way better than the scrap yards too. Soon I will take a trip to their grounds to see how they melt down the old wire in these huge vats. Should be interesting. Just a thought!

I was told if you label it, it's not considered abandoned.

Here on Long Island, It Is required as per NEC - all old & unused wire MUST be Removed, this item the inspectors were not really following up on. The Building inspectors are the one's who have been enforcing this part of the code. I place in my bids - Existing Wires or Abandoned wires to be removed by others, if requested to be removed, additional cost will apply. Good luck !
