Other features

Full width rear snub roller mounted on the reeler pod.

The indexer will be driven from the main reel and promote level reeling of the cable on the main drum.

The indexer will be complete with side and upper and lower guide rollers. 

The indexer will automatically reverse when one wrap of cable has been retrieved.

The indexer will be bypassed when laying cable out from the drum.

The indexer will allow the cable to be captured and released after the cable connector is located on the drum.
