Why cannot the cable reel be placed horizontally
2025-10-15

1、 Structural characteristics of cable reels
A cable reel is composed of a central shaft and a number of cable sections wound around the shaft. The cables on the reel are in a ring like shape with an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter. The diameter of the disc is generally around 1.2m, which is relatively heavy and usually requires mechanical equipment for handling and placement.
2、 Why can't cable reels be laid flat?
1. Cables are prone to damage
The winding structure of the cable reel results in the cable being in a looped shape with an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter. If placed flat, it may cause some cables to bend and be easily damaged. Once the cable is damaged, it may affect the safety performance and service life of the circuit.
2. Safety hazards
When the cable reel is laid flat, the cable may slip or entangle with other objects, which can easily cause tipping or damage. If the cable reel flips over during transportation or use, it can pose a safety hazard to on-site personnel and even cause injury.
3. Difficulty in operation
Cable reels are generally heavy, and lying flat can pose great difficulties for handling and placement. If the cable reel needs to be moved or placed at a high place, tools or mechanical equipment may be required to complete the operation.
3、 Storage and transportation requirements for cable reels
1. Storage of bracket
Cable reels generally require support brackets for storage and transportation to ensure that the cables are not damaged in any way. Brackets generally need to have good mechanical properties and stability, and should comply with corresponding specifications and standards.
2. Vertical placement
Cable reels should be stored and transported vertically to prevent external pressure and damage to the cables. During the placement process, care should be taken not to bend the cable, and attention should be paid when placing it. Corresponding tools or mechanical equipment should be used for operation.
3. Packaging protection
During transportation, cable reels need to be packaged and protected accordingly. Generally, plastic film is used for packaging to prevent the intrusion of external moisture and dust. At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding collisions with other items during transportation to prevent damage to the cables.
【 Conclusion 】
The above is an introduction to the reasons why cable reels cannot be placed flat and the storage and transportation requirements. I hope that through the introduction in this article, readers can better understand the structural characteristics and working principles of cable reels, correctly store and preserve cable reels, and ensure the safety and service life of cables.
