The present disclosure relates to a wireline drum configured for use in a material handling system. The wireline drum may have a core extending between a pair of flanges. The core may be configured to receive a spooled wireline. Each flange may have a neck extending from an inner surface toward the core and configured to nestably engage the core. The present disclosure further relates to methods of manufacturing such a wireline drum. In some embodiments, each flange, including the flange neck, may be cast as substantially a single component. At a joint between each flange neck and the core, a V-shaped groove may be defined for receiving a weld. Each flange may be welded to the core at the V-shaped groove.

A multi-fiber reel and adapter assembly includes a base, a cable reel mounted to the base, and a plurality of adapters fixedly mounted to the base. The cable reel is configured to rotate relative to the base and the adapters, and each of the adapters is configured to couple a fiber optic cable from the cable reel with a fiber optic drop cable that is configured to run from the respective adapter to a location of an end user that is remote from the assembly.
