Abstract
A cable reel that has at least one support frame having an outwardly extending braking gear member and a first flange having a central opening with an internal braking gear member engaging the outwardly extending gear member of the frame, thereby rotatably coupling the at least one support frame and the first flange. A hub is provided between the first flange and a second flange that opposes the first flange. The hub is configured to support cable, wherein the engagement of the gear members provides friction for cable payoff from the hub.
