Tangle-free alternative to spools and reels
Reelex is a patented method of winding cable or any cord-like product in such a
way as to result in a reel-less, self-supporting coil. 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.
