Cable Storage

Cable storage is essential for anyone working with multiple reels of cables. If you are looking for a way to organise, manage and store your industrial cables effectively, RS NZ offers a great selection of cable reels, cable drum holders and cable roller stands to keep your cables and wires safely stored away.

Types of Cable Storage

Cable storage solutions are not one size fits all. Let’s take a look at the different types of products available:

Empty Cable Reels and Cable Reel Holders

Cable reels are ideal for storing and transporting long lengths of cable, preventing it from kinking, twisting, and knotting. This allows the cable to be easily unravelled for use. Cable reels often feature a handle, making them portable and easy to carry. They may also feature plug sockets or a compartment for protecting connectors.

Heavy Duty Cable Racks

Designed to be stacked to provide optimum storage for your cables, heavy duty cable racks feature fully adjustable hanging rods and a simple assembly design. Cable racks are great for holding multiple types of cables in electronics applications, making them particularly suitable for environments with frequent large-scale deployment and retrieval.

Bench Top Cable Dispensers

Bench top cable dispensers are ideal for areas where space is limited, offering a compact and accessible solution for lighter gauge cables. Designed for ease of use in workshops or assembly lines, they allow for quick and precise cable measurement and cutting, streamlining tasks requiring frequent access to various wires.

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Cable Reel Holder

Selecting the appropriate cable reel holder or cable stand is critical for optimising efficiency and safety across various operations in NZ. Key considerations include:

  • Cable Length and Diameter: The physical dimensions and weight of the cables to be stored directly influence the required load capacity and size of the cable storage reel.
  • Portability Needs: For dynamic environments, portable cable roller stands and lightweight cable reels are great choices, whereas stationary setups benefit from more robust, fixed installations.
  • Storage Capacity: The volume of cable requiring storage will ascertain whether individual reel holders, multiple cable storage racks, or a combination of both are the best option for your needs.
  • Durability: The operating environment dictates the material choice. For instance, corrosive environments may necessitate stainless steel or high-impact plastic solutions, while general industrial use can utilise robust painted steel.
  • Available Space: The available space within a facility will influence the choice between vertical racking systems, compact bench-top dispensers, or wider, floor-standing cable reel stand units.

Applications of Cable Reels

The versatility of the cable reel and associated cable storage solutions makes them indispensable across a diverse range of industrial sectors:

  • Workshops & Garages: Cable storage is essential for managing extension leads, welding cables, and power tool cords, ensuring a tidy and safe working area.
  • Factories: Critical for power distribution to machinery, robotic systems, and assembly lines, cable reels facilitate quick maintenance and reconfigurations in industrial settings.
  • Broadcasting & Music Studios: Cable reels are invaluable for the neat and safe deployment and retraction of audio, video, and power cables for live events and permanent installations.
  • Outdoor Installations: Used for temporary power distribution, event setups, and construction sites, robust and weather-resistant cable reel options are paramount for safe operation in outdoor conditions.
