Southwire R11231-88-45 Retractable Cord Reel 45 Ft 20A

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE R11231-88-45 is a heavy-duty spring-retractable electrical cord reel designed for industrial and commercial power distribution. It carries 45 feet of 12/3 AWG SJEOW cord rated at 20 amps and 125 volts AC, making it suitable for demanding portable power applications. The reel features an all-steel construction with a baked-on powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. A fully enclosed, long-life drive spring handles automatic cord retraction. A latching mechanism holds the desired cord length extended during use. Electricians, maintenance technicians, and facility workers use this reel to deliver power safely without leaving cords across floors or walkways.

This cord reel is built for industrial and commercial environments where portable electrical power or handheld lighting is required at variable distances from a fixed outlet. The adjustable guide arm supports four mounting orientations: ceiling, wall, bench, and floor. That flexibility makes it practical for workshop bays, warehouse floors, production lines, and maintenance facilities where cord management and trip-hazard reduction are priorities. OSHA fall-prevention guidelines recommend keeping cords out of walkways and work areas — spring-retractable reels are a direct means of meeting that recommendation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style retractable cord reel for industrial and commercial portable power applications requiring a 20A, 125V, 45-foot SJEOW cord on a steel spring-retractable reel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified maintenance technician. De-energize the circuit and lock out the power source before mounting or connecting the reel. The mounting surface must be capable of supporting the reel weight under dynamic load. Verify that the branch circuit rating and outlet configuration match the reel cord and plug assembly before energizing, in accordance with NEC requirements.
