Masterplug 25m 110v cable reel with two 16A IP44 sockets, safety thermal cut-out, power indicator and steel frame. Highly visible yellow cable, drum wind handle and carry handle for easy site use.
The Masterplug LVCT2516-2-MP is a 25 metre 110v cable reel built for site conditions. If you work with temporary power supplies on construction sites, this is the kind of kit that earns its keep — proper yellow cable, two 16A 110v sockets with safety covers, and enough reach to actually be useful. As a 110v cable reel, it works with the centre-tap-to-earth (CTE) power systems that are standard practice on UK construction sites, meaning it is compatible with site transformers and other 110v equipment rather than the 230v supply used in domestic settings.
The reel itself sits on a steel frame, which keeps it from turning into a tangled mess on a busy site. There is a drum wind handle for retracting the cable neatly after use, and a carry handle so moving it around is straightforward. Both sockets are rated IP44, so they can handle the kind of damp and dusty environments that are just part of the job.
Key Safety Features on This 110v Cable Reel
The thermal cut-out is worth paying attention to. If the reel is overloaded while the cable is still fully or partially wound, heat builds up in the drum. The cut-out trips before anything goes wrong, which is exactly the kind of protection you want on a site where someone will inevitably plug in a load without thinking to check the reel first. The power indicator light confirms the reel is live, which is a small but practical detail.
Available in two cable sizes — 1.5mm and 2.5mm — so you can match the cable rating to the loads you are running. The 2.5mm option handles heavier tools without the cable running warm.
Pro Tip: Always fully uncoil this reel before use: a coiled cable generates heat in the drum, and while the thermal cut-out will protect you, tripping it repeatedly is not ideal for the reel or your workflow.
This cable reel is used across construction sites, groundworks, civil engineering projects and any environment where 110v temporary power is the standard. It suits electricians, groundworkers, joiners and general builders running power tools from a site transformer. You will also see these reels in light commercial fit-outs, plant hire depots and anywhere that temporary 110v distribution is needed at a distance from the transformer.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for 230v mains supply — this reel is designed exclusively for 110v site transformer systems. Not rated for outdoor use in heavy rain or full immersion.
Connect the reel plug to a 110v site transformer output. Before plugging in any tools or equipment, uncoil the full 25 metres of cable from the drum. Running the reel with cable still wound generates heat and may trip the thermal cut-out, interrupting your work.
Once fully uncoiled, plug your 110v tools into either of the two IP44 sockets. The power indicator confirms the reel is live. After use, wind the cable back onto the drum using the drum wind handle and store the reel somewhere dry. Check the cable periodically for cuts, abrasion or damage, particularly near the plug and socket ends where wear tends to show first.
Connect the reel's 110v plug to the appropriate outlet on your site transformer
Uncoil the full 25 metres of cable before plugging in any tools or loads
Check the power indicator light confirms the reel is live
Plug 110v tools or equipment into the IP44 sockets, ensuring safety covers are clear
Do not exceed the 16A rating across both sockets combined
After use, disconnect all tools and unplug from the transformer before winding
Rewind the cable using the drum wind handle and carry by the handle to storage
Can I use this 110v cable reel with a standard 230v mains socket?
No. This reel is designed for 110v centre-tap-to-earth site transformer systems only. Connecting it to a 230v supply would be unsafe and could damage the reel and any connected equipment. If you need a 230v extension reel, that is a different product entirely.
What is the difference between the 1.5mm and 2.5mm cable options?
The 2.5mm cable has a higher current-carrying capacity, which means it runs cooler under load and is better suited to heavier power tools such as grinders, larger drills and similar site equipment. The 1.5mm option is fine for lighter loads. If you are unsure, the 2.5mm is the safer choice for general site use.
Why did the reel cut out while I was using it?
The thermal cut-out has tripped, most likely because the cable was not fully uncoiled before use. A coiled cable traps heat in the drum, and once the temperature reaches a set threshold the cut-out activates to prevent damage. Uncoil the reel fully, allow it to cool for a few minutes, and it should reset automatically.
The Masterplug LVCT2516-2-MP is constructed with a steel frame for rigidity in site conditions and fitted with flexible PVC-insulated cable in either 1.5mm or 2.5mm conductor sizes. The sockets are rated IP44, providing protection against solid particles and splashing water. The integrated thermal cut-out is a passive safety device that disconnects power if the drum temperature exceeds safe operating limits, protecting the cable insulation from heat damage during partially-wound use.
