January 7, 2015 – Burndy is offering a new 100-ft open spool reel for static discharge applications. The reels are commonly used in the petroleum industry, but apply in any area where static discharge creates potential hazards.

The BSD20100 has a steel construction and comes with 100 feet of 7×7 stranded stainless steel cable with yellow polyester elastomer cover. All the reels are supplied with a 100A universal jaw-type grounding clamp and spring rewind and centrifugal brake. (The product offering also includes three different models of 50-ft reels.) The BSD20100 reel has a permanent ratchet lock; the other enclosed reels have a positive ratchet lock with a ratchet On/Off switch.
