Abstract
A cable reel may include a first reel portion configured to hold a bundle of cable, and a second reel portion configured to be coupled with the first reel portion and to retain the bundle of cable on the first reel portion. The second reel portion may include a first impact portion radially outward of a hub portion and a second impact portion radially outward of the first impact portion between the first impact portion and a perimeter wall of the flange portion. The second impact portion may include a radially outer wall that is configured to deflect radially inward to absorb an impact force impacting the perimeter wall at a location radially aligned with the second impact portion, and the first impact portion may include a radially outer wall that is configured to deflect radially inward to absorb an impact force impacting the perimeter wall at a location circumferentially spaced from the radially outer wall. The first and second impact portions may be configured to provide absorption of impact forces impinging on any point along the perimeter wall so as to provide 360° of breakage protection against impact forces impinging on the perimeter wall.
