Field Reels

Lightweight cable reel designed for temporary field deployment.

MARS® cable reels are the industry’s first lightweight cable deployment reel system designed specifically for the demanding needs of harsh-environment fiber optic installations. The MARS® reel is a lightweight, modular system constructed of an impact modified polymer that is easily transported and is ideal for applications where cable needs to be deployed and retrieved quickly and stored efficiently.

The reel flanges are made from light-weight, durable, and non-porous material. The flanges and handles, excluding the attached hardware and drum, are fabricated from non-conductive materials. All parts are non-rusting. Colors include, but not limited to, Black, Desert Tan (33446) and Olive Drab (34088) as identified in table 3 of FED-STD-595. The finish is lusterless, non-reflective, and fade-resistant.

The MARS® reel system has been issued National Stock Numbers (NSN’s) from the United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). NATO, and many governments around the world use NSN numbers and are familiar to the MARS® system.
