A device for storing and deploying cable, including but not limited to
optical fiber cable. The device includes a substantially planar bottom
support surface having juxtaposed thumb segments and an intervening
finger segment. An outer wall is affixed to the bottom surface about its
perimeter and extends upwardly therefrom. A substantially circular guide
wall is disposed on the bottom surface extending upwardly therefrom. A
substantially circular inner wall is concentrically arranged with respect
to the guide wall. A top flange is joined to the support surface by the
outer wall and, together with the thumb segments, form entry and exit
ports for the cable. The guide wall and the inner wall define a guide
track that is dimensioned so as to enable continuous adjustment of
variable lengths of cable in an area of the device bounded by the guide
track, the outer wall and a transverse barrier that extends the length of
the finger segment. The guide track operates to secure the cable in the
device once an appropriate length has been accumulated or deployed.
