Question about scrapping computer cables with ferrites.
I have been scrapping computer cables for more than 10 years. Many of them especially video cables have ferrites on each end. I would always cut the connectors off the ends. Then cut out the ferrites. The scrap yard I go to call this clean insulted wire, I mix them with all the other wires and cables with the ends cut off i.e. power cords, Ethernet cable. Cutting out the ferrites adds a lot to time the process because you have to do 6 cuts instead of just 2 when I just cut when I just cut connectors off the ends. Lately I have been just cutting the connectors off and leaving the ferrites in but I'm worried they may say it is not clean. Because it is only about 10 pounds out of 100 pounds they may not notice it. My question is do most scrap yard expect the ferrites to be cut out in order to classify it is clean insulted wire.
