50500-010 – HOME FIBER CAGE

THESE PRODUCTS

Originally designed for Optical Fiber Cable to be installed in the home, this product allows the installer to pull a bundle of

cable without its own spool. Cable can be removed from its original packaging and secured into place on the frame,

keeping the cable organized when the product is payed-out. The brake built into the axle provides controlled resistance

when pulling out cable to ensure cable doesn't cascade off the frame during operation. Ideal for 60m and 120m bundles

of Optical Fiber Cable, but can be used with any cable, wire, rope or hose that is spooled from the outer diameter.

The adjustable arms can be moved by hand, and allow for loading/unloading of a spool and operating the frame without

any tools. An additional handle for cranking the unit (not shown) also makes it very convenient to spool cable, extension

cords, rope or hoses back onto the frame for quick jobsite cleanup. The bundle can be left on the frame for storage or

zip-tied and removed for convenient bundling.
