Can Anyone help? - I need the weight of 50m of 2.5mm cable

[peskywinnets]

Got a part used reel of 2.5mm twin & earth lying here that I wish to flog....but I don't know how much the original reel held (i.e. to write the advert) & I don't fancy unwinding it al to find out!

So I wondered if anyone here could give me an indication of how much a reel of 50m of 2.5mm twin & earth actually weighs.

Just weighed the reel I have & it comes in at 5.2kg (there's a little bit used off the reel so I'm hoping that a full 50m weighs in about 6kg....then I'll know what size the original reel was - are you still following this?)

 

[SaladFingers]

Don't know.

I can find out, but you'll have to weight.

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

117gram per metre wont be so far away for T&E at 2.5/1.5

 

[peskywinnets]

ok...cool - thanks, so it looks like it was a 50m reel, bit taken off therefore probably about 45m ....what'd be a fair price to advertize this at? (collection)

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

a tenner and I'll be around in five mins
Brand new would cost about 55p-60p/m
So knock 20% off that and that seems fair and don't forget the spool weight to be deducted.

Has nobody ever heard of Google?

.00000000000000001 of a second gave me 126,000 hits for
"2.5mm twin and earth weight"

Here's the first one on the list

the weight is for 100metres. Are you OK with dividing the weight for 100metres by2, or would you like that done for you as well?

.....yep, late in the day a complete bell end enters the proceedings.

Dude, it might have escaped you - we're done! (you could have used the time spent typing to pickup your "how not to be a knob" self-help guide)

"nothing to see here" (other than the aforementioned bell-esque late entries), "move right on along...."

is it brown and blue or red and black?

 

[Taylortwocities]

Is it on a cardboard, or wooden reel?

Is it that scary figure of 8 stuff (Aton Kablo, eg)?

I am trying to help.

Don't you have any bathroom scales?

 

[17thman]

I know you are trying to help, but he does have scales, that is why he wanted to know the full weight so that it could be apportioned, minus the spool weight. to the OP, unless you live in a heavily populated area, collect only will result in hardly anything for it. I live in south Birmingham and could not be bothered to drive to north birmingham for a deal on around 45m of cable

 

[Taylortwocities]

Ah, sorry.
That'll teach me not to read stuff...

It wasn't late in the day, it was at 12:43.

Dude, it might have escaped you - we're done! (you could have used the time spent typing to pickup your "how not to be a knob" self-help guide)

And you could have used your time to pick up your "How not to be a lazy g*t who can't be bothered to use Google" self help guide.

"move right on along...."

Please do.
