Dimensions of a 10mm T&E reel please ?

[elec-tricks]

Hi all
in preparation for starting my electricians work, i'm making myself a cable carrier out of some scrap steel i have lying about.
just something to hold the reels and let it spool whilst i'm pulling it through.
my question is, how big is a 10mm T&E reel (50m & 100m) ?
not had the chance to get my hands on one as yet.
many thanks
Chris

Depends on the maker lots of differing reel sizes

You might find it easier and more economical to buy cut lengths of 10mm T&E if you are just starting out.

The 50m drum of 10mm² T&E that I currently have is 350mm OD, 90mm hole dia, and 185mm thick. It weighed 19Kg when full.

Weighing a drum of cable is an easy way of telling roughly how much you have left on the drum.

that will give me a good guide for building my cable carrier.
