cable drum

Cord storage cylinder

A cable drum is a large cylindrical spool used to store and transport lengths of cable—electrical wire, fiber optic line, or industrial rope.

The drum rotates to wind or unwind cable smoothly.

Empty wooden cable drums are sometimes repurposed as rustic furniture: We made a coffee table from an old cable drum.
