Abstract: A reel for cable and the like has a tubular core portion having opposite open ends and a hollow interior formed with reinforcing ribs. A pair of end flanges is provided, each having a radially inner annular flange portion which is cupped so as to a have an open side facing axially inwardly of the core portion and which is, in part, received in one of the open ends, and a radially outer annular flange portion which is cupped so as to have an open side facing axially of the core portion and which has an outer circumferential edge face. Connecting portions connect the end flanges to the core portion.

Abstract: A cable for transmitting high electric energies comprises an inner tubular member which is provided with a channel for conducting a cooling medium, an outer tubular member surrounding the inner tubular member, a cable jacket surrounding the outer tubular member with spacing, and an insulation provided intermediate the outer tubular member and the cable jacket. The inner and outer tubular members are circumferentially complete so that the cooling medium cannot escape into the insulation and cause damage thereto. The inner tubular member may itself serve as an electric conductor, or a separate electric conductor may be situated intermediate the inner and the outer tubular members.
