摘要：A device for storing at least one fiber can include at least two of the followingcomponents: a separator, a plurality of lifters, and a secluder. The separator can separatea first fiber portion from a second fiber portion of a fiber. The separator can define atleast one inner bearing surface adapted to restrain the first fiber portion from

straightening when coiled within the separator, and at least one outer bearing surfacethat can be adapted to limit a path defined by the second fiber portion when coiled onthe separator. The path can vary with a longitudinal tension in the second fiber portion,and can have a plurality of curves each having a radius. The radius of each curve of thepath can at least meet a reliability-adjusted minimum bending radius of the second fiberportion. The separator can also define at least one separator opening adapted forpassing the fiber therethrough. The plurality of lifters can move a plurality of fibersparallel to a spooling axis around which the fibers are spooled. The plurality of lifters canbe adapted to be disposed beneath at least a bottom-most fiber and adapted to bemovable parallel to the spooling axis. The seclude can segregate a plurality of fiberscoiled within a space defined by a restrainer, can be adapted to be bound by therestrainer and can lack a sealer.
