CABLE REELS

WD7 reel, custom punching and wiring available at extra cost.
These strong, yet light, cable reels are built from heavy-gauge steel with welded frames for rugged durability.

The premium WD1-WD4 reels feature a unique adjustable braking system that controls the speed of the spool during payout and eases turning during rewind.

The economical MR Series reels offer heavy-duty cable storage in a compact design.

Models WD5, WD6, and WD7 are specially designed for Audio/Video applications.
Pictured on the right is Whirlwind's WD-1 reel loaded with 500' of heavy-duty fiber optic cable.

SC type connectors are integrated into the reel flange and the opposite end is Whirlwind's TFOL (Tactical Fiber Optic Link) connector designed for use in demanding applications.
