Abstract: A system and method for storing a wrapped supply of cable for controlled payout. A container has a peripheral wall bounding a storage space, a top and a bottom. A support assembly is provided on the container for the supply of wrapped cable through which the supply of wrapped cable, operatively placed within the storage space, can be turned guidingly within the storage space around a first axis. The peripheral wall has an opening through which cable from the wrapped supply operatively placed in the storage space can be directed and drawn to cause the operatively placed supply of wrapped cable to turn around the first axis and thereby cause cable to be controllably paid out.
