Describe specification and completeness
Give known lengths, connector types and jacket or shielding markings. Identify cut, removed, mixed or incomplete items. Mark unknown details rather than guessing.
CONNECTION MATERIALS
Cables & connectors
Cables and connection parts deserve a clear description of their use and condition.
STARTING POINT
Keep usable accessories, surplus stock and discarded material distinct.
Begin with the information available. Uncertain details can be clarified in turn.
Prepare an enquiryPROJECT NOTES
Make the scope specific.
Preserve useful identity
Keep original packaging and matching sets for potentially reusable accessories. Separate reusable items from discarded material.
Agree how to count
Agree whether the basis is pieces, sets, length or weight. State quantity, unit and packaging separately; do not add unlike units.
Q & A
Before we start.
Should I strip the cables first?
Do not start dismantling or stripping for an enquiry. Describe the existing condition and source before agreeing a suitable route.
LET’S TALK
Start with a clear list.
Tell us the material, quantity and condition. Then we can discuss what comes next.
