FAQs
What is the maximum cable length this reel can hold?
The reel can hold up to 35 metres of standard thickness cable or up to 40 metres of thinner wires.
Is this reel suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is manufactured from materials suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Does it come with wall-mounting hardware?
The reel has options for wall mounting, but the necessary hardware (screws, wall plugs) is typically not included and should be selected based on your wall type.
How do I secure the cable end?
The reel includes integrated plug holders to secure the plug end when the cable is fully wound. Some models may also have a clip or slot to secure the starting end.
Is this a powered cable winder?
No, this is a manual winding solution. You will need to rotate the reel by hand to wind and unwind the cable.
What materials is the reel made from?
It is manufactured from high-quality, impact-resistant plastic or metal.
How heavy is the reel itself?
The reel weighs approximately 0.2645547144 pounds (0.12 kg).
Troubleshooting
Cable does not wind smoothly
Ensure the cable is not tangled before winding. Check that the cable is centered on the reel and not catching on the sides. Avoid overfilling the reel.
Plug holder is loose
Ensure you are using the correct plug holder slot. If the holder is physically damaged, consider using tape to temporarily secure the plug.
Reel feels unstable when winding
Place the reel on a flat, stable surface. Ensure all parts of the reel are securely fitted together. If wall-mounted, verify the mounting is secure.
Cable capacity seems less than advertised
Verify the type of cable you are using. Thicker, multi-core cables will take up more space than thinner, single-core wires. Consult the manual for specific cable type recommendations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Attach the starting end of your cable (e.g., the socket end of an extension lead) to the spindle, often by inserting it into a slot or using a clip mechanism if provided.
- Begin manually rotating the reel's side handle or the reel itself to wind the cable neatly onto the spindle.
- Secure the plug into the integrated plug holder once fully wound.

- Storage: Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any cracks or damage, especially if used frequently in demanding environments.
