Abstract: A device and method for storing an electric cable of predetermined length and at least one electric cable component. The device comprises a reel having a drum around which the electric cable can be wound and a pair of flanges disposed about the drum, the drum and flanges defining a well; and at least one container disposed within the well and secured to the reel, the container defining a cavity for receiving the electric cable component. The device may also include a lagging for enclosing at least a portion of the well. The container may have any suitable construction and configuration and may be secured to the reel at any suitable location and in any suitable manner. The container may be secured in any suitable manner to the lagging in accordance with another embodiment. The method may comprise winding the electric cable around the drum and within the well, and placing the electric cable component within the cavity. The method may further include coupling the lagging to the reel.
