Why Buying Bulk Cable Is the Right Choice

Why Buying Bulk Cable Is the Right Choice

Posted by Steve Bowman on Jun 19th 2024

Purchasing bulk cable – in reels varying from 100 to 1,000 feet – rather than in shorter pre-cut lengths, offers you big benefits. Whether you’re looking for Ethernet cable or wiring for CCTV, alarm systems, or speakers, bulk cable will not only save you money but improve the quality of your installations.

Below are six ways you can benefit from buying in bulk, followed by a table that summarizes the bulk offerings from NavePoint.

  • 1.Cost Savings
  • Lower Unit Price: Bulk purchases often come with a lower per-foot cost compared to buying shorter pre-cut lengths.
  • Reduced Waste: You can cut only what you need, minimizing leftover scraps that might not be useful.
  • 2.Flexibility and Custom Lengths
  • Customizable Lengths: You can cut cables to the exact lengths required for each specific installation, avoiding the need for joins or splicing.
  • Versatility: Having bulk lengths of cable on hand allows for on-the-fly adjustments and changes in cable runs without the need to wait for additional supplies.
  • 3.Reduced Inventory and Management Costs
  • Single Purchase: Buying in bulk reduces the frequency of purchases, saving time and effort in managing orders.
  • Storage Efficiency: Bulk reels are easier to store and organize compared to numerous packages of pre-cut lengths.
  • 4.Professional Quality Installations
  • Fewer Connectors and Splices: Longer continuous runs reduce the need for additional connectors and splices, which can improve signal integrity and reduce potential points of failure.
  • Neat Installations: Bulk reels can be more neatly managed, leading to a more professional and aesthetically pleasing installation.
  • 5.Readiness for Future Projects
  • Stock Availability: Having a reserve of bulk wire ensures that you are prepared for future projects or repairs without needing immediate purchases.
  • Quick Response: Immediate availability of cable allows for rapid response to urgent installation needs or unexpected changes in project scope.
  • 6.Consistent Quality
  • Single Batch: Purchasing from a single batch ensures consistent quality and performance across all cable runs, as opposed to potential variations between different pre-cut packages.

As you can see, buying cable in bulk spools provides significant advantages in terms of cost, flexibility, installation quality, and inventory management, making it a preferred choice for professionals and larger projects.
