Dear Marcus,

You mean, gel-filled feeder cables?

They can burn VERY well since the gel is oil-based. Besides large feeder cables use up a lot of space that you may actually need for something else - equipment or other cross-conects to be used.

And if you need a little extra incentive for removing the cables - think of all the copper you can recycle!

Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
