When would you typically use a cable reel as opposed to Pow-R-Feed or festoon?
A cable reel would be used when a portable power supply is needed (for lighting, power tools, etc.) A cable reel would be used when a vertical application is required. Cable reels would be used when there is no supporting structure for a Pow-R-Feed or a festoon system. Cable reels would also be used when travel is other than one strait line. They would also be used for explosion proof applications. Cable reels are an economical way to optimize space for better productivity.
