FAQs
The W16L C04050 uses standard Cable-Gard mounting interfaces and a rugged steel housing designed for quick integration into existing reel frames. Ensure frame clearance for a 60 ft reel, verify alignment with mounting studs, and secure the reel to a stable support to avoid sway during operation. This alignment minimizes reel wear and ensures smooth unwinding for six conductors of #14 AWG across 60 ft.
This model supports six 14 AWG conductors on a 60 ft cable length, rated for up to 600 Vac. The steel, weathertight housing provides protection in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, while NEC/CEC compatibility assures regulatory alignment. The combination enables reliable power and control cable management with multiple conductors in a compact reel.
Yes. The reel is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with a NEMA 3/3R rating and a 600 Vac rating. It offers weathertight protection suitable for many outdoor and semi-outdoor applications. Always confirm site conditions align with the area classification and ensure weather exposure is within the reel’s protection envelope.
Regular inspection of the steel housing for corrosion, signs of wear on the reel spool, and seals is recommended. Keep mounting hardware tight and verify cable wound path remains even to prevent abrasion. Periodic cleaning and lubrication of moving components will sustain smooth operation and extend service life in demanding environments.
By improving cable deployment speed, reducing tangling and wear on conductors, and minimizing manual handling risks, facilities can cut maintenance time and improve uptime. The six-conductor, 60 ft capacity suits automation and power distribution tasks, delivering lower labor costs and fewer unplanned outages over the reel’s lifecycle.
