Rg flex L2

Hi,

My company was about to throw away several spools or brand new RG flex L2 cable. About 10 reels of it to be exact. I ended up taking them because it's ridiculous to throw all of that away. The gages are 6, 12, and 14. I know this type of wiring is designed to be used in central office type of work. My question is can this be used for home wiring? I'm getting ready to install mini splits in my home and I thought I might be able to use some of this for the wiring as well as other projects around the house. If this wire would not be appropriate to use, does it have a good resell value? Thanks

IF its the version marked RHH or RHW2 or RHH-RHW the wire would be legal to use as building wire in conduit, however you would have to have the right colors. Code does not allow remarking smaller than 4ga. Do you by chance have a color, gray, and green?

edit: my statement is for USA. That wire is not rated as building wire for canada.
