FAQs

Can this be used in the rain?

No, this cable reel is not weather-proof and should be kept away from water and wet conditions to prevent electrical hazards.

Why does the power keep cutting out?

The thermal cut-out may trigger if the unit is overloaded or if the cable is left coiled while powering high-draw appliances. Always unspool the cable completely when using high-wattage items.

What is the maximum current capacity?

This unit is rated for 13A, which is standard for most household and workshop power tools.

Can I use this for permanent outdoor wiring?

No, this is intended as a temporary extension lead for intermittent use, not for permanent outdoor power installations.

How do I reset the thermal cut-out?

Disconnect all appliances from the reel, allow it to cool down for 15-30 minutes, and it should automatically reset for normal operation.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Check if the thermal cut-out has been triggered. Unplug all devices, wait for the unit to cool down, and check if the reset button is available or if power returns after a cooling period.

Plug does not fit snugly in the socket

Ensure the plug pins are clean and not bent. Verify you are using a standard 13A plug compatible with UK socket configurations.

Reel is difficult to wind

Ensure the cable is not overlapping or twisted inside the drum. Guiding the cable manually while turning the handle will ensure even spooling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-capacity 25m reach
  • Four individual sockets for multi-device power
  • Integrated thermal safety cut-out
  • Sturdy design suitable for workshop use
  • Easy-wind handle for organized storage

  • Requires full uncoiling for maximum load safety
  • Heavy when fully extended
  • Not intended for permanent outdoor installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Status Cable Reel, place the unit on a flat, dry surface and fully unwind the desired length of cable. Ensure all connected plugs are pushed firmly into the 13A sockets before switching on your devices. For care, always keep the reel away from water and damp environments. When finished, switch off all connected devices, unplug them from the reel, and carefully wind the cable using the handle to prevent kinks. Periodically inspect the insulation of the cable for any signs of fraying or wear. If the cable or casing becomes damaged, discontinue use immediately.
