Abstract
This research innovation relates to a portable extension wire with a manual cable reel mechanism. The device consists of a compact, lightweight housing that contains a spool or reel for winding and unwinding an electrical extension cord. The reel is manually operated, allowing the user to easily extend or retract the cord as needed without the use of any motors or automated mechanisms. The housing is designed to be highly portable, with a carrying handle and compact dimensions that make it easy to transport and store when not in use. The extension cord can be fully extended to provide power access over a wide area, spanning up to 26 feet. When the cord is no longer needed, it can be smoothly retracted back onto the internal reel, neatly storing the cord within the housing. The manual cable reel mechanism provides the user with precise control over the length of cord that is deployed. This helps prevent tangles, kinks, or excess slack in the cord, improving both safety and convenience compared to traditional extension cords that must be manually coiled. The study investigates user satisfaction with the device’s efficiency, durability, safety, and its specific benefits for Bachelor of Industrial Technology students at Cebu Technological University.
