Base mounted reels are often used for repositioning cables and wiring harnesses. These reels are a popular choice for managing cables on network and server racks.
Compact and lightweight, these cable retractors are a drop-in solution for design engineers and OEMs needing light amounts of tension or retraction.
Our base mounted reels are available in metal or plastic. Both types use a prestressed power spring (Spirator).
Metal reels have an exposed cable and spool which allows the end user to adjust the spring tension.
Our plastic ML4575 series reels have a closed case construction making the spring unit tamper-proof when mounted.
