Reeling Systems

Secure Data Transmission at the Highest Speeds and Longest Distances

Cables are the most established and obvious media for securing data transport at the highest speeds and the longest distances. In fact, they constitute the backbone of all the top-speed data networks, and specifically the Internet.

Reeling Systems handles, stores, and protects flexible cables, providing both power and data transmission.

The data transmission medium embedded in these cables can be as simple as one pair of copper wires for the low-speed industrial bus, up to multiple CAT6 elements, including shielded and twisted pairs, for multi-gigabit per second Ethernet transmission.

When length, speed, EMC, or security require it, the reeling cables will provide the rotary connection through the reel, including multiple Fiber Optics (multi-mode or single-mode) and our unique, super-reliable TFO (Transmitter Fiber Optics) with its elegant continuous fiber ribbon wound on itself.

The industry is improving its machines' efficiency through automation and remote control. Both require a flawless, secure data stream from multiple high-resolution cameras, sensors, and control systems, which is seamlessly supported by Fiber Optics in our Reeling systems, even in the high-EMI environments of ports and steel or aluminum mills.

Motor Driven Reels up to 400 Gbps

Our reliable motor-driven reels secure power, signal, industrial bus and Ethernet and hi-res video up to 400Gbps through uninterrupted Fiber Optics.

Low Voltage Reeling Cables with signal, CAT6 or FO element

Flexible low voltage reeling cables are specialized cables designed for applications that require frequent movement, such as in industrial machinery, robotics, or stage equipment. Data transmission in these cables requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure reliability and durability.

Medium voltage reeling cables with FO element

Conductix-Wampfler offers a wide range of medium voltage reeling cables with optical fiber element. Cable voltage range are from 3KV to 36KV. Application speed is from 120M/min to 300M/min.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Does the reeling system add latency and/or crosstalk to the optical data stream?

Not at all: Our TFO is built around a continuous FO ribbon connecting the reeling cable and the optical networks: no latency, no crosstalk, and minimal attenuation, just as for the fixed FO cables in your network.

What is the data transmission speed limit in a reeling system?

Our reeling systems can transmit up to 24 Single-mode FOs, thus their “maximum maximorum” is today about 4,8 terabits per second (about 4000 4K movies per second…).
