A method of installing cable on a cable reel that has the steps of providing a cable reel that includes first and second opposing flanges where the first flange has a first hub portion and the second flange having a second hub portion and the first hub portion has one or more flexible segments; placing a cable coil over the first hub portion and on the first flange so that the first hub portion substantially extends through an inner diameter of the cable coil; and expanding the one or more flexible segments by inserting the second hub portion inside of the first hub portion so that the one or more flexible segments engage the cable coil.

A method for extracting a core (1) from a reel (2) of paper is described, where the reel (1) has been wound in a winding station upstream of an extraction station (100) of the core (1); the method comprises the steps of providing an extraction element (3) having an expandable element (4), shaped to enter, when in the non-expanded form, within a cavity (5) defined by the inner wall (6) of the core (1) of the reel (2), the core (1) extends according to a central axis (X) which is substantially horizontal when the reel (2) is positioned for extraction; inserting the expandable element (4) of the extraction element (3) in the cavity (5) of the core (1) on which a roll of paper (20) is wound; expanding the expandable element (4) until it engages the inner wall (6) of the core (1); pulling the extraction element (3) in the opposite direction to that of insertion, to extract the core (1) from the reel (2); bring the expandable element (4) back to the non-expanded form; extracting the expandable element (4) from the core (1). A machine (10) for extracting a core (1) from a reel (2) of paper by means of such method and an extraction station (100) for extracting a core (1) from a reel (2) of paper comprising such machine (10) are further described.

An adjustable height optical fiber cable reel comprises a first piece having a first base plate and a first tab protruding from the first base plate, the first tab having a first opening and a second opening, a second piece having a second base plate and a second tab protruding from the second base plate, the second tab having a pin. The pin is configured to engage the first opening to lock the adjustable height reel at a first height, and to engage the second opening to lock the adjustable height reel at a second height. The adjustable height reel may also be coupled to a slack storage tray. Optical fiber enclosures may also be configured with adjustable height reels with optional slack storage trays.

A core member is provided for storing shrink film. The core member includes a plurality of rollers, each having a disc and a core extending upwardly from the disc. The plurality of rollers are aligned longitudinally along an axis and laterally along a plane. The plurality of rollers are rotatable to wind the shrink film about the rollers.

A yarn feeder may comprise a winding wheel, a driving member, at least a locating member, and a plurality of tension pieces. The winding wheel has a first end and a second end, and a plurality of locating holes are formed on the winding wheel adjacent to the first end. The driving member has a ring coupled with the second end of the winding wheel, and the ring comprises at least a driving rod extended along an outer surface of the winding wheel from the second end to the first end, and an end of the driving rod close to the first end which comprises a driving portion and a connecting portion thereon. The locating member comprises a shell, a pivot shaft, a first column, and a locating column. The tension pieces are respectively connected between the ring of the driving member and the first end of the winding wheel.

A roll holder is inserted with a hollow tube of one of a first roll having a first inner diameter and a second roll having a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter. The roll holder includes a holder and a cam assembly that are supported by a support shaft and movable in an axial direction of the support shaft. The cam assembly includes an abutment and a cam. The abutment contacts a lateral end of the second roll in the axial direction of the support shaft. The cam presses against one of a first presser and a second presser of the holder in a radial direction of the support shaft to cause the one of the first presser and the second presser to press against and hold an inner circumferential face of the hollow tube of the one of the first roll and the second roll.

A cable spool for networking and cross connect equipment is shown which comprises a telescoping arrangement and is moveable between a retracted and an extended position. In a particular embodiment a static cable spool is provided together with the moveable cable spool and arranged along the same axis. The cable spool is also moveable horizontally.
