ARRANGEMENT FOR UNWINDING CABLE WOUND ONTO A SPOOL
An arrangement for unwinding a cable wound onto a spool (5) includes a central drum (5A) and two side flanges (5B). The arrangement includes at least one independent stand (1) having a protrusion (4) for fastening the independent stand (1) to at least one retaining orifice (5F) of a side flange of the spool (5). At least one adapter bushing to be disposed between the protrusion (4) of the independent stand (1) and the at least one retaining orifice (5F) of one of the side flanges of the spool (5). The at least one adapter bushing is configured to removably fasten the independent stand (1) to the one of the side flanges of the spool (5).
Cable spool and storage
Systems and methods of dispensing telecommunications cable from a network component are provided. A system includes a housing, an axle, and a spool. The housing defines an interior region and includes a cable storage portion and a mounting surface defining a receptacle. The axle is configured to removably attach to the receptacle. The spool is configured to be disposed on the axle, and has a first flange proximal to the mounting surface and a removable second flange distal to the mounting surface when the spool is disposed on the axle. The spool has a drum portion configured to support a coiled fiber optic cable and dispense the fiber optic cable as the spool rotates on the axle. Undispensed cable can be removed from the spool with the second flange removed. The cable storage portion of the housing is configured to receive the undispensed coil.
