Cable Reels

A cable reel, also known as a reel-type extension cord, is a portable device that carries power to a remote work point with cable wound on a drum and sockets on its body. It is used on construction sites, in workshops, in gardens and during maintenance work to supply hand tools and mobile machinery. The category includes plastic and metal body, cassette-type and automatic reels, mostly Bylion with some Bemis, as well as empty reels sold without cable; the models with cable come in lengths such as 25 m and 50 m and cross-sections such as 3G1.5 and 3G2.5. Choose the reel according to the cable cross-section and conductor material (copper or copper-clad aluminum, CCA) suited to the total current of the devices, the length, the IP rating suited to the environment and the socket standard that fits your plug. Type F (Schuko) sockets are compatible with grounded plugs in Turkey; models with type E and type G (BS) sockets are for the standards of other countries. Because a wound cable cannot dissipate heat, the permissible load differs between the wound and unwound states; rely on the manufacturer's label. A cable reel with sockets should not be confused with the wooden cable drum on which cable is shipped.
