Gentlemen,
We are in the process of replacing 4 cable reels for our live trucks. We have 4 reels that have 2 video, 5 audio and 1 power (Belden 9171).
My problem is that we can't find any other supplier other than Canare. We also can't find a reel that has a side panel with space behind it as our engineers mount the video and audio plugs right to the side of the panel. We then jump from the reel to the truck via an umbilical.
The current reels have no manufacturer on them, they are 18 inches across and hold between 225 to 275 feet of cable. They are a bear but they do job for us and have lasted quite a few years.
So, dinosaur, Shaky, et al., If you all know of anything please post. And if anyone from WPXI knows Frank B. in engineering, have him give Jack or myself a call.
Thanks, Wally
