The present disclosure relates to a cable reel comprising: a tubular main body extending along a longitudinal axis (L), comprising a plurality of tubular sections successively arranged side by side along the longitudinal axis (L) and releasably interconnected one to another; a first flange positioned at a first end of the main body, releasably connected to a first tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections; a second flange positioned at a second end of the main body, releasably connected to a last tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections, wherein each tubular section comprises at least two arcuate sections releasably interconnected in circumferential direction.

A locking system for a spool comprising a barrel, a flange, and a sliding lock. The sliding lock has at least one rail that slidably engages with at least one barrel detent and at least one flange detent to prevent rotation of the flange on the barrel. The sliding lock comprises at least one arm with at least one catch. The at least one catch can be removably locked into at least one recess on the flange.

A reel for supporting wound flexible media that includes first and second elements. The first element has a first flange and a first set of legs extending in a directly axially away from a first side of the first flange. The second element has a second flange and a second set of legs extending axially from a first side of the second flange. The first set of legs and the second set of legs are interleaved in a circumferential direction to form at least a portion of a core of the reel disposed between the first flange and the second flange, and around which flexible media may be wound and supported. The first set of legs is configured to snap connect with the second element.

The present application is directed to a cable reel assembly. The assembly includes a center hub member having a main body with four side walls and two coiler section members. Opposing side walls of the center hub member each have an aperture or slot. Each coiler section member includes an arcuate base member having a securing mechanism extending radially inward therefrom and opposing side walls extend radially outwardly from the base member. The opposing side walls are spaced apart to define a channel configured to receive and hold one or more trunk cables therein. The securing mechanism is configured to releasably interlock with a corresponding aperture or slot of the center hub member to secure the respective coiler section member to the center hub member. The assembly is configured such that one or more trunk cables can be wrapped around and held within the channels of the coiler section members.

A locking system for a spool comprising a barrel, a flange, and a sliding lock. The sliding lock has at least one rail that slidably engages with at least one barrel detent and at least one flange detent to prevent rotation of the flange on the barrel. The sliding lock comprises at least one arm with at least one catch. The at least one catch can be removably locked into at least one recess on the flange.
