Audio2000'S ADC2716 Cable Reel, Capacity: 330ft of 6mm cable

I ordered 2 of these to manage 2 150" LynxPro Ethercon cables and they fit perfectly. The construction is solid and works well for this application. Others have mentioned that these are not heavy duty and I would agree but for the use I intend they will be perfect. I would not recommend them for a construction job site or for more torturous applications.

I looked at and bought other reels for my 100 Ft 12 AWG extension cords but most 100 Ft reels are made for 16 AWG or possibly 14 AWG. This reel works great and is built well enough to take the abuse it gets on my job sites.

This is a nice reel for the price. It feels sturdy and able to hold large lengths of heavy duty cable easily. It looks like it shouldn't be able to hold a lot when you pull it out of the box but I was surprised. I'm using it to hold a 200' ProCo ProCat Unshielded Cat5e cable and it does the job handily. If you are unsure about whether this reel will be adequate, you can use this cable reel calculator tool to find out.http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/lifting/winches/drum.htmJust use these *approximate* dimensions:Barrel Diameter: 4.5 inchesFlange Diameter: 10.75 inchesDrum Length: 4.25 inches (reel flares outward from 3.5 - 5 inches for a 4.25 average)Then simply input your cable diameter and find out the maximum length this reel will hold in your situation. My cable is 8mm and 200' fits quite nicely. Bear in mind this reel also features an outer reel for holding a good length of slack.The only negatives I have for this reel are a nearly useless locking mechanism when using heavy cable, lack of means to secure the cable once reeled in, cable guide for smooth winding, and lack of a crank handle. But considering the price, you can't have everything.

I'm lucky I stumbled across these cable reels. Most cable reels are pretty expensive. But these are very affordable.The reel is, indeed, plastic. And it could break if not protected. But they do hold up to all but the worst abuse and are also pretty lightweight too. So you can either get this one and exercise care with it and save a bunch of money, or shell out a ton of money to get something stronger. In most cases you could replace this one a couple times before spending as much as a higher quality reel.The stand is metal, and is pretty solid. Plenty strong enough to hold whatever cable you can fit onto the reel.For reference, I'm using mine for a 150m 12-strand 3mm MPO fiber optic cable, and it occupies less than half of the available spool diameter. It could easily old a similar cable 500m long. Of course thicker cables can't be as long.

Says it holds 300’ cat5 , I barely got 250’ etherconn on it, but I suppose my cable is thicker than normal maybe

I bought this cable reel for tv coax cable (approximately 100'-150' long). It worked great for what I needed it for. My only complaint would be that the handle for cranking isn't very long. Another 2" or so longer would help. Otherwise, fine.

I needed a reel to store my 100 foot 12 gauge, 15 amp, outdoor electrical extension cord. This reel does the trick. I especially like the reel’s open face which allows me to access the female plug, through the wheels side opening, without having to unwind the whole cord.

Would give this a 4.5 if possible- I'm rounding up to 5 since it's great when considering the price. Currently using it to hold 150' of ethercon cable. We only need it once a week for setup and breakdown, so it's pretty light/medium use. I would NOT recommend it for heavier usage!Overall, it works well and it's about perfect for the price. The reel likes to spin its way off the frame, so you have to be careful, and make sure you're using the little lock to keep it from spooling when it's stored.I had looked around for a while and didn't want to spend the money for a high end, heavy duty, professional grade reel. This one is perfect for our needs!

Excelente producto para 100m de cat

It has a larger center hub. I put 150 feet of Cat 6e DSnake Cable on it and it fits well. 10 feet of the cable is on the outside part of the reel for final connection at the reel end. Was what I was looking for ***

good

Excelente calidad

This actually works for heavy gauge cord also. No problem. Might be good to have a handle come with it but still good with the nubby handle that is molded onto it
