Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can cable reel 46647 run at full power with the cable wound up?

No. With the cable wound up the maximum load is 920 W 4 A. A higher load is only possible with the cable fully extended, so the drum should be unreeled completely for power-hungry machines.

Yes for water splashes from all directions, as the reel is rated IP44. IP44 does not cover hosing down or immersion, and it protects against objects over 1 mm.

Cable reel 46647 has a plastic drum with 25 m of 3 x 2.5 mm² cable and four earthed sockets, giving several connection points and stored cable in one unit. A plain extension lead usually has a single socket and no drum.
