FAQs

What type of cables can be stored on this drum?

This drum is ideal for general AV or power cables. It can hold up to approximately 50 meters of 1.5mm² cable.

Can I mount electrical sockets onto this drum?

Yes, the drum is suitable for panel mounting 16A/32A 110V/240V ceeform industrial plugs and sockets.

How does the cable grip work?

The cable grip is located in the center of the drum. You feed the end of the cable through the middle of the drum and secure it in the grip, preventing it from retracting fully and making it easy to attach to equipment.

What are the dimensions of the drum?

The dimensions are 410mm (height) x 210mm (depth) x 300mm (width).

What is the weight of the drum?

The drum weighs 1.2Kg.

Is this drum powered?

No, this is an 'empty' cable drum designed for manual storage and dispensing of cables. It is not a powered cable management system.

What colors are available?

The drum is available in Yellow & Silver.

Troubleshooting

Cable does not stay secured by the grip.

Ensure the cable end is properly fed through the grip mechanism. If the cable is too thin or slippery, consider using a small tie or tape to temporarily secure it before winding.

Difficulty winding long cables.

Wind the cable evenly, not too tightly, to avoid strain. Ensure there are no kinks in the cable before winding. If storing near maximum capacity, some effort may be required.

Drum feels unstable when connected to a panel.

Verify that the panel mounting procedure has been followed correctly and that the drum is securely attached to a suitable panel. Ensure the weight distribution is balanced.

Drum surface is dirty or marked.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allowed to air dry.
