Cable wound tightly onto a drum builds up heat as current flows through it, because the coiled geometry reduces the cable's ability to dissipate heat into the surrounding air. Most cable reels carry a clear maximum current rating for coiled use - typically 4-5A - with a higher rating permitted when fully extended. For anything beyond a small lamp or phone charger, always unwind the full length before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCable reels at the DIY Hardware Store are available in standard 10m, 15m, and 25m lengths with 4-way socket heads, suitable for workshop, garden, and site use.
