The Cable Reel Retrofit Kit, a durable, easy-to-install system designed to reduce cable replacement time and enhance reliability in demanding industrial environments.
This retrofit kit is available as a full Plug & Play cable reel system or as a field-terminable cable assembly, giving operations flexibility based on installation needs. Built with ATPC’s Super-Trex® Cable and an Amphenol MIL-C-5015 reverse bayonet connector, the system is engineered for long life and dependable performance under extreme operating conditions.
One of the standout features is the quick-disconnect interface housed inside the cable reel drum, allowing for seamless replacement when payout cable failure occurs. This eliminates the need to manually feed new cable through grip seals or access the slip ring, significantly reducing maintenance time.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Super-Trex® Cable – Offers outstanding protection against abrasion, impact, oils, and chemicals. Flame- and heat-resistant with all-weather flexibility.
- Amphenol MIL-C-5015 Connector – Provides a secure, quick-connect solution with a ¼ turn reverse bayonet coupler to prevent accidental disconnect.
- Short Overmolded Backend – Compact design offers strain relief and IP69K-rated protection, ideal for tight bend radius conditions inside cable reels.
- Plug & Play System – Full quick-disconnect options for both payout and power feed cables allow the reel to be replaced without accessing the slip ring.
