Abstract
A method for winding a cable (12) onto a cable reel (22) includes providing a cable reel (22) having a drum (24) arranged between two end flanges (28, 30). The drum (24) has a longitudinal axis (26), and the cable is placed (12) on the drum (24) to form a plurality of continuous helical windings (32) on the drum (24). Consecutive windings (32) are directly adjacent to each other, where main bending axes (34) of the continuous helical windings (32) and the longitudinal axis (26) of the drum (24) enclose an offset angle (α) greater than zero.

A method for winding a cable onto a cable reel, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a cable reel having a drum arranged between two end flanges, the drum having a longitudinal axis, and
- placing the cable on the drum to form a plurality of continuous helical windings on the drum,
- wherein main bending axes of the continuous helical windings and the longitudinal axis of the drum enclose an offset angle greater than zero.
A cable reel, comprising:
- two parallel end flanges, and
- a drum arranged between the end flanges,
- wherein the cable reel has a longitudinal axis, and
- wherein the end flanges and a reference plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis enclose an offset angle greater than zero at least in a transportation state of the cable reel.
