This unique coil dispenses from the inside-out without twists, tangles, snags or overruns. The packages are easy to handle, stack and palletise, are far lighter than reels and spools and are 100% environmentally friendly.

Sold under various brand names by the world’s leading wire and cable manufacturers, Reelex has become the standard packaging system for ‘last-mile’ lengths of LAN and coaxial cable and is quickly becoming the preferred package for many other types of products like rope, building wire, plastic tubing, and more. The Reelex coil is uniquely wound, using multiple crossovers and a low-tension pattern that creates a radial hole passing through the centre of the coil wall. The Reelex coil is essentially a figure-eight coil wrapped around a mandrel.

Reelex coiling machinery makes a series of these coils, each slightly offset from the previous coil to prevent the crossover points from lying directly on top of one another. The equipment also leaves a hole in the coil wall to allow the product to exit the coil. The figure-eight geometric design cancels out any back twist that is found on normal coils.
