Long-distance optical cable reel configuration
Minimize the distance a cable reel is rolled, use a forklift or cable trailer for longer distances. Rolling the reels for extended distances or against the roll direction can cause the cable to loosen. The rotary joints are protected inside the drum for durability and seamless deployment of single or multi-channel fiber optic and/or electrical cable with uninterrupted optical and/or electrical signal. The reel's structural components consist of two flanges, central drum, flange bolts, SmartReelTM test connector and horizontal wood slats (Figure 1) that keep the reel in alignment and protect the fiber cable from any damage that may occur during transporting and storage.
