The EWI RPPX 32 x 8 series REEL snake is a medium duty professional product. This snake is an excellent choice for portable application. You only roll out as much cable as you need, and leave the rest on the drum.

Both the fantail and stage box are all XLR. This is an 24 channel XLP send snake with 8 XLR returns on a reel. The returns have parallel MXLR and 1/4″ TRS panel jack on the reel drum.

The fantail is all EWI ES3FB-GDP (FXLR) and ES3MB-GDP (MXLR) black shell with gold contact point connectors with the Caps of the Returns color coded Red for easy identification. We have various lengths of MXLR to ¼” TRS adaptor cables available if your drive rack requires ¼” TRS connections for the sends, and if you need a little more length on the send channels to reach the drive rack.

The reel and drum are medium duty and well labeled. The fantail is heavy duty, color coded to groups and very well labeled with indelible ink. The main trunk is constructed with EWI SMC cable which is 40 individual shielded pairs, 22 ga., high copper purity conductors with double aluminum foil shield and trace wire, which is heavy duty and very flexible. There is a mesh grip strain relief at the fantail which will allow the fantail to be supported and take the strain off panel jacks.

There are 4 ea. 2 1/2″ casters mounted on the bottom of the reel frame for transportation. Two of the four casters have locking brakes on them. The casters are a good size for in-doors use; however, they are a little on the small side for rolling across grass or a gravel parking lot.

The snake is shipped with the casters not assembled on the frame. This reduces the chances of the casters or frame being damaged in shipping. Mounting the casters on the frame is facilitated by using a 19MM (or 3/4″) and 17MM (or 11/16″) end wrenches. Many folks mount the reel snake in a pull over flight case. Typically I have various cases in stock that are well suited for this.

There is a brake mechanism on the drum to set it in place once you’ll reeled out enough cable. It’s a friction brake, so it doesn’t lock the drum down hard which is a plus if somebody starts tugging on the cable unaware that the brake is set. There are two brake indents where the brake can be set to lock the drum down solid.

Delivery Exclusions

PLEASE NOTE:

Some products are exceptionally large, heavy or bulky and require specialist freight services. This typically includes items such as large PA speakers, dual 15″ speaker cabinets, dual 18″ subwoofers, flight cases and other oversized or very heavy equipment.

We work hard to keep our prices as competitive as possible and, in most cases, delivery is completely covered by our standard shipping rates. However, for certain oversized items being delivered to regional or outlying areas, the actual courier cost can be significantly higher than standard deliveries. This is also owing to factors completely outside of our control (petrol costs and rising costs of delivery by courier partners)

If this applies to your order, we will always contact you before dispatch to discuss the available options. These may include:

Proceeding with a small additional freight contribution.
Collecting the order from one of our suppliers or a nearby courier depot where available.
Cancelling the order for a full refund if a suitable solution cannot be reached.

Please be assured that we only request an additional freight contribution in exceptional circumstances where the courier cost is substantially higher than normal. Our goal is always to deliver your order at the advertised price whenever possible.

If you’re unsure whether an item may be affected, you’re welcome to contact us before placing your order and we’ll gladly provide a delivery estimate.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support!
