Fiber optic cable storage device

A method of storing fiber optic cable comprising:

• inserting each of a plurality of fiber optic cables into one of a plurality of cable storage pathways positioned in an outward progression from a hub for at least approximately 180 degrees, wherein
• a plurality of a discontinuous wall structures defines the plurality of cable storage pathways,
• each discontinuous wall structure defines a cable entry radial gap,
• the plurality of guide structures further include a plurality of posts located in cable entry radial gaps of the discontinuous wall structures of the plurality,
• at least one cable entry pathway passes through the cable entry radial gap for each of the discontinuous wall structures of the plurality,
• the number of posts located in the cable entry radial gap of a discontinuous wall structure is equal to at least one less than the number of cable entry pathways passing through the cable entry radial gap of the discontinuous wall structure.

An apparatus including fiber optic cables comprising:

• a panel;
• a hub located on a first side of the panel;
• a plurality of cable guide structures located on the first side of the panel around the hub to define a plurality of cable storage pathways positioned in an outward progression from the hub for at least approximately 180 degrees, wherein the plurality of cable guide structures defines the plurality of cable storage pathways, the plurality of cable guide structure further includes
• a plurality of a discontinuous wall structures,
• each discontinuous wall structure defines a cable entry radial gap,
• the plurality of guide structures further include a plurality of posts located in cable entry radial gaps of the discontinuous wall structures of the plurality,
• at least one cable entry pathway passes through the cable entry radial gap for each of the discontinuous wall structures of the plurality,
• the number of posts located in the cable entry radial gap of a discontinuous wall structure is equal to at least one less than the number of cable entry pathways passing through the cable entry radial gap of the discontinuous wall structure;
• and
• a plurality of fiber optic cables,each stored in a cable storage pathway of the plurality.
