A cable reel comprising:
- a tubular main body extending along a longitudinal axis, the main body comprising a plurality of tubular sections successively arranged side by side along the longitudinal axis and releasably interconnected to one to another;
- a first flange positioned at a first end of the main body, releasably connected to a first tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections;
- and
- a second flange positioned at a second end of the main body, releasably connected to a last tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections,
- wherein each tubular section comprises at least two arcuate sections releasably interconnected in a circumferential direction, wherein one of the first and the second flanges comprise on its inner side an annular space for insertion of the nearest main body tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections, wherein the annular space is configured for insertion of stacked arcuate sections in a non-working configuration.
A cable reel comprising:
- a body extending along a first axis, the body comprising a plurality of tubular sections successively arranged side by side along the first axis and releasably interconnected one to another;
- a first flange positioned at a first end of the body, releasably connected to a first tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections;
- and
- a second flange positioned at a second end of the body, releasably connected to a last tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections,
- wherein each tubular section comprises at least two arcuate sections releasably interconnected in a circumferential direction,
- wherein the tubular sections comprise first longitudinal fasteners and second longitudinal fasteners, the first and the second longitudinal fasteners being differently shaped, and
- wherein the first flange and the second flange comprise first flange-fasteners and second flange-fasteners, the first flange-fasteners and the second flange-fasteners being differently shaped.
