Abstract: The invention relates to a spool assembly for use to effectively manage cables and in particular cables for use as part of ultrasonic testing apparatus, The spool assembly allows the cables to be moved between a storage position in which at least part of the cables are located within the housing of the spool assembly and an extended position in which a greater portions of the cables is unwound and extended from the spool assembly. The spool assembly can be used in two modes of operation, a first mode to allow the cables to be wound onto the holder and a second mode in which the holder is biased to wind the cables into the storage position.
