Packaged dispensers mountable to optical network terminals (ONT) are disclosed. In some examples, the dispensers include coreless wound coils and excess storage areas. Additionally, fiber optic cable distribution systems and methods thereof utilizing the disclosed coreless wound coils are further disclosed. In one example, a length of telecommunications cable is wound into a coreless coil that includes a plurality of winding separators at least partially embedded within the coil, wherein the length of telecommunications cable alternately passes on one of the first and second sides of one winding separator and on the other of the first and second sides of an adjacent winding separator. In one example, an initially cylindrically shaped coreless wound coil, with or without winding separators, can be placed into a non-round package in which the wound coil is deformed and compressed by the sidewalls of the package such that the coreless wound coil conforms to the interior perimeter of the package to have a non-cylindrical shape.

The invention has purposes of increasing length of a wound body in a roll by efficiently using a space formed in a container and of improving strength as a unit by reducing the space.

In a roll (1) in which a wound body (2) is wound around a specified axis for plural times, a spacer (3) is provided in a portion of a region between turns of the wound body (2).

A wire feeding system comprises a wire container including a box having an open upper side, and a wire container lid closing the upper side. The wire container lid includes a front wall having an opening through which wire is to be paid off. A wire outlet guide is attached to the front wall. The wire outlet guide comprises an upper and a lower hole for receiving the wire, the upper and lower holes being defined by a lower ring wall and an upper ring wall, respectively, and being distanced from each other in a wire feeding direction. At least the lower ring wall limits sideward movement of the wire and allows contact with the wire. The holes have a fixed position relative to the front wall. A deflection space bridging the distance between the holes allows sideward deflection of the wire between the ring walls.

A coil support with a coil of a trimmer line has a coil core with an outer wall surface and first and second axial ends. At the axial ends securing elements that project past the wall surface of the coil core are provided for positional fixation of the coil wound onto the coil core. A securing element provided at the first axial end is a support plate with a longitudinal center axis. The size of the support plate is provided in the direction of the longitudinal center axis with a greater extension than transverse to the longitudinal center axis such that the support plate in a first radial direction of the coil core is greater than in a second radial direction. The coil core is fixedly connected with the support plate and with the further securing elements that are provided on the second axial end.
