Offering up a higher weight cable reel than what is rated for can compromise the structural integrity of the cable rack and could be a safety hazard.

• Number of spindles - The number spindles supported should be considered as it will determine the number of cable reels that can be supported.

• Dimensions - The overall height, depth, and width of the cable rack is an important consideration to determine whether the cable rack will fit in any designated aperture. The overall width and depth will also determine the size and number of cable reels supported.
