History
The world standard for over 40 years, the REELEX box has become ubiquitous as the standard package for low-voltage cabling.
The key to cable installations worldwide
Wherever there is low-voltage wiring being installed you are likely to see a REELEX box. Whether REELEX I or REELEX II, the dependable twist and tangle-free payout that REELEX provides is key to easy cable installations around the world.
Benefits of the Box
Beyond the benefits the tangle and twist-free payout the REELEX coil provides, the REELEX box provides additional benefits inherent in the package. Yet, while you may think a box is just a box. Think again!
What’s so special about a box?
You mean, aside from the tangle and twist-free payout performance? Quite a lot. There’s a reason why the REELEX box has become the standard package for a wide variety of small-diameter cabling. In fact, nearly every low-voltage product packaged in lengths of 500 feet (150m) or more has REELEX as a package option. Today, building wire, fiber optic cables, tube and other products are beginning the transition to the “tangle-free package”.

Environmental
Less waste, more recyclability
When compared with other packaging methods, REELEX allows the greatest opportunity to use recyclable, reusable, compostable, and reclaimed materials. Compost it, recycle it, or sell it. When you use REELEX, you have disposal choices beyond just the dumpster.
Worried about jobsite waste volume? Because spools and reels rarely get broken down prior to disposal, the volume they take up is enormous compared to their weight. Empty REELEX packages take up to 39% less volume when broken down as comparable spools.
Performance if Damaged
Damaged box? No problem!
Unlike spools which can be rendered unusable if dropped or damaged, the REELEX coil will still dispense perfectly, even when the package isn’t so perfect.
Because the REELEX coil does not rely on any internal packaging component for payout, a destroyed package will still dispense. That means fewer returns, and happier customers.
Ergonomics
Easy to carry, stack and store
Spools are awkward to carry, a pain to set up and often require extra equipment just to make their use easier. With REELEX, the built-in handles make it easy to position and carry, and because there is no rotating mass, you can start dispensing whenever you want. No need for stands or brakes.
When shipping, no additional packaging is necessary. Just put on a label and send it out the door. And because REELEX packages have no internal structure, they are far more lightweight than spools or reels.

Payout Tubes
All REELEX packages require a payout tube. The purpose of the payout tube is to ensure that each twist in the coil is resolved inside the package prior to existing the coil so as to result in smooth, twist-free payout. Payout tubes also serve to prevent the coil from rotating inside the package. If a payout tube is not used, some loops of the coil would exit the package resulting in twists and possible tangles.
