Routing tool for installation of fiber optic cables and method of using same

A routing tool for the installation of one or more fiber optic cables along a cable support, comprising:

• a cable support frame including a mounting interface, the cable support frame configured to be selectively attached to and detached from the cable support at the mounting interface;
• and
• a dispensing platform configured to have the one or more fiber optic cables arranged thereon and configured to be selectively attached to and detached from the cable support frame, the dispensing platform further configured to be rotatable relative to the cable support frame about a rotational axis when the dispensing platform is attached thereto,
• wherein the cable support frame is configured such that the rotational axis is laterally offset from the mounting interface, and
• wherein when the dispensing platform is attached to the cable support frame and the routing tool is attached to the cable support, the dispensing platform is positioned over top the mounting interface such that an outer edge of the dispensing platform extends outboard of the mounting interface so as to be positioned over top the cable support.
