Reels, Snakes & Boxes

R-series Cable Reels

Canare has developed a dependable and road worthy cable reel in three useful sizes that keeps cable stored neatly when not in use, yet allows quick deployment without tangles and twisting. A perfect way to facilitate transporting and laying cable.

All R-Series models include a 3-position brake lever:
FREE SPOOL: cable will pull from reel with ease, this position is ideal for rewinding.
SOFT BRAKE: cable can be pulled from the reel, but friction prevents excess spillage when cable is pulled quickly.
FULL LOCK: used during transportation, the reel will not rotate, so cable will not spill.

Canare cable reels are constructed using tubular steel, with an “E” shaped brace design which makes them all extremely durable. They use heavy duty permanently lubricated bearings which will perform as new even after years of hard road use.

R300S Cable Reel.R300S/R300L

All R300 series models have built in stacking tabs, so cable reels can be placed one on top of the other for secure transporting and storage.R300L  connectorised cable reel drum.

The R300L features a special removable recessed plate in the hub for mounting BNC, F, RCA, or XLR Panel receptacles. Connectors may also be fitted to the hub end plate. The R300S has a pre-drilled end plate for cable exit from the hub. Reels can be supplied pre-fitted with a range of cable and connector sets. Contact sales for details.

R380S/R460S cable reel.R380S Medium Size

R460S Large Size

Two cable reels specially suited to use with multicore audio and video cables. Both have an large cutout on the front flange for cable exit from the hub and are large enough to allow passage to most multipole connectors.

Both reels incorporate four removable castors, two with brakes, for easy movement on site.

Approximate loose wound reel capacities may be determined using the formula:

 L = k/D2

where:

L is winding length in metres
D is cable outer diameter in millimetres
k is a value dependent on reel used:
