Aye , but the air punchers were a real pain. Give me the long lever any day of the week.
I just loved the swing brake lol.

I think it's more product development at this stage although I'm a bit confused about how his product will work with a ratchet and pawl system.

Its product development I assure and the reel that I want to design it's a non changeable reel and it's portable. The rachet and pawl system is to only dispense a fixed amount of cables and prevent overrunning of cables

You never turn the drum on smaller cables, always pull the cable otherwise a disaster will occur!

thanks for the quote but im working on a way that this reel can be modular enough to fit as much kinds cable as possible ranging form android usb cable to as long as a midi mic cable and standard DIY extension cord. and the longer wires might include a drum that dispense a fixed amount of cables so that it could be suitable for those who want to set/use the wires as fast as posible

Jasper, I think your last post was the clearest you've described your product to date. Members have been commenting on what they class as a cable drum, ie something used to dispense electric cable. I think you might have more luck on a tech forum based on your last post.

well thats due to the uncertainty on the dispenser that i was willing to work on and im posting survey on this forum is due to the focus on the long cable of the red,blue,brown 3 core cable due to the way i wanted to dispense via a rachet and pawl system so that it could dispense at a fix amount since theres like not too much product that dispense a fix amount of cable at a very fast rate since the factors of the pulling and tangling are still dragging the design back. this link http://goo.gl/forms/VfwQUfulHd was emphasizing on a broad range of cables but mainly focusing on the long 3 core cable drum that i want to focus on

3 core cable of what type and for what purpose?
And what do you consider to be long?

We are all thinking of installation work and you appear to be talking about appliance/equipment manufacture.

To be honest Dave, I've no idea what he's talking about now. The OPs threads are as convoluted as a you know what at a you know where.

it is the pvc insulated power cable that electricians first brought and cut to exact size for use in wiring at new homes/ office and etc in drums or in reels. for the length my survey was stating between 50m to 200m but depending on the user who brought on how long is the cables , this is part of research that im still trying to answer. to me it relate to work as it might have the ability to dispence quickly at a shorter time

and btw im pulling all the focus to the long cables as this was what im trying to pull into my project. the other cables that i could use to be in other modular is not part of the main focus, it just an extended feature

Sorry that doesn't make sense. We buy cable in 100m drum normally and pull it in then cut it off once it's installed. You don't measure off an amount of cable to install, the extra work involved in measuring the length required would be ridiculous

but what if its the ceiling that you are trying to wire, not just the 3 core pvc cables, even fibre wire might sometime goes through the ceiling, ive done a reseach on the ways to dispence cable and this is the picture ive found

and besides there might be some amateurs that want to only use a fixed amount of cables, for uses like study purposes, simplifying procress of finding the best and neat route for future renovations and even like using midi cable to route from the hall to the canteen and wanted to prevent overrunning of wires if the product is tripped by a person

Installing fibre optics is a bit more specialist than installing mains cables!
Amateurs should not be carrying out electrical work full stop, electricity kills within a fraction of a second.
Why would you ant to install long midi cables? Normally midi interconnects would only be short distances between pieces of equipment?

Debra Meaden Duncan Bannatyne and myself are all out .

" This is a preposterous idea that nobody cares about , cable dispensers are already available and they work, sparks have far worse problems to deal with "

every electrician usually buys 100m drums or longer.

ive spent most of my time working with 500m drums of control cable. now one size dispenser wont work.

the only reason id use a set of jacks is if im pulling in multiple cables, say 6 at a time.

hi guys sry for the confusion for the two weeks, but ill like to know if excess cable could cause a problem when routing from point to point( i want to prove that it is possible to dispense a fix amount of cables. An example lets say that i have a 100m cable and its too much to be routed from the side of a stage to the centre, if there is no cable management, no tape, Can pulling a fix amount of cables solve the problem preventing a slip and fall incident?)
