wire spool

Coiled conductor cylinder

A wire spool is a cylindrical device around which wire is wound for storage and dispensing.

The spool keeps wire organized and prevents tangling, allowing it to be pulled off smoothly during use: He mounted the wire spool on a stand while running electrical cable through the walls.

Wire spools range from small handheld sizes for craft wire to large industrial reels for fencing or telecommunications cable.
