Obi Rope + Filo Cable
#2

As long as the cable is not completely tensed up, Filo can fake a sagging cable by using a catenary shape. I believe this is mentioned in the quickstart guide/manual, you can control the amount of sag using the cables' "Looseness Scale" parameter.

Note however Filo is much more limited than Obi in its ability to simulate free cables, so a sagging cable won't collide with arbitrary objects in the scene or stuff like that.

Spools are just rigidbodies with a motorized hinge joint. Not part of Filo, just check out Unity's documentation on joints.

This is just one cable with 4 segments, so the simulation should be extremely fast. I'd recommend to take a look at the profiler to identify what's slowing things down, I can help you interpret the profiler results if needed.

kind regards,
