whereby the second cable portion may be unspooled by first unspooling the second cable end and, after unspooling of the second cable portion, the second spool may be detached from the first spool while the first cable portion is retained on the first spool,

wherein the first spool comprises a spool drum defining an internal volume, the first cable end extending into the internal volume and wherein the spool drum further defines a passage extending through a wall of the spool drum into the internal volume, the first cable end extending into the internal volume through the passage.

2. The spool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the first spool includes a first annular flange and the first end of the second spool comprises a second annular flange, the first annular flange comprising the first coupling feature and the second annular flange comprising the second coupling feature.

3. The spool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first spool further comprises a cap detachably coupled to a second end of the first spool, the second end of the first spool disposed opposite the first end of the first spool, and the cap covers an opening to the internal volume when coupled to the second end of the first spool.

4. The spool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second spool further comprises a second spool drum defining a second inner volume contiguous with the internal volume of the first spool drum.

5. The spool assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first spool or the second spool comprises a flange disposed at their respective first end, the flange having an outer diameter and defining the pass through feature through which the intermediate cable portion extends, the pass through feature disposed, at least in part, inward of the outer diameter.

6. The spool assembly of claim 5 , wherein the pass through feature is a notch defined by the flange.

7. The spool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first coupling feature is positively engaged with the second coupling feature.

8. The spool assembly of claim 1 further comprising a fastener, wherein the fastener detachably engages the first coupling feature to the second coupling feature.

9. A spool assembly comprising:

a first spool comprising a first coupling feature disposed at a first end of the first spool;

a second spool comprising a second coupling feature at a first end of the second spool, the second coupling feature detachably engaged to the first coupling feature such that the first spool and the second spool are coaxially aligned; and

a cable comprising:

a first cable portion including a first cable end including a first connector;

a second cable portion opposite the first cable portion and including a second cable end, the second cable end including a second connector; and

an intermediate cable portion disposed between the first cable portion and the second cable portion;

wherein the first cable portion is retained on the first spool, the second cable portion is retained on the second spool, and the intermediate cable portion extends through a pass through feature defined between the first spool and the second spool,

whereby the second cable portion may be unspooled by first unspooling the second cable end and, after unspooling of the second cable portion, the second spool may be detached from the first spool while the first cable portion is retained on the first spool,

wherein the first spool comprises a spool drum defining an internal volume, the first cable end extending into the internal volume and wherein the internal volume is divided into an inner and outer volume by an internal wall and the first cable end extends into the outer volume.

10. The spool assembly of claim 9 , wherein the spool drum further defines a passage extending through a wall of the spool drum into the internal volume, the first cable end extending into the internal volume through the passage.

11. A spool assembly comprising:

a first spool comprising a first coupling feature disposed at a first end of the first spool;

a second spool comprising a second coupling feature at a first end of the second spool, the second coupling feature detachably engaged to the first coupling feature such that the first spool and the second spool are coaxially aligned; and

a cable comprising:

a first cable portion including a first cable end including a first connector;

a second cable portion opposite the first cable portion and including a second cable end, the second cable end including a second connector; and

an intermediate cable portion disposed between the first cable portion and the second cable portion;

wherein the first cable portion is retained on the first spool, the second cable portion is retained on the second spool, and the intermediate cable portion extends through a pass through feature defined between the first spool and the second spool,

whereby the second cable portion may be unspooled by first unspooling the second cable end and, after unspooling of the second cable portion, the second spool may be detached from the first spool while the first cable portion is retained on the first spool,

wherein the first coupling feature comprises one of a hook and a loop of a hook-and-loop fastener material and the second coupling feature comprises one of a corresponding loop and a corresponding hook, respectively.

12. A spool assembly comprising:

a first spool comprising a spool body and a first flange disposed at a first end of the spool body, the first flange including a first coupling feature, the spool body defining an internal volume and an opening to the internal volume, the opening disposed at a second end of the spool body opposite the first end; and

a second spool comprising a second flange, the second flange comprising a second coupling feature detachably coupled to the first coupling feature such that the first spool and the second spool are coaxial;

wherein the first flange defines a first notch and the second flange defines a second notch aligned with the first notch such that a cable may be spooled onto the spool assembly by inserting a first cable end into the internal volume, spooling a first portion of the cable about the first spool, passing an intermediate cable portion between the first spool and the second spool through the first notch and the second notch, and spooling a second portion of the cable about the second spool, and

wherein the spool body further defines an inner chamber and a second chamber about the inner chamber.

13. The spool assembly of claim 12 , wherein the first spool further comprises a detachable cover coupled to the opening.

14. The spool assembly of claim 12 , wherein the spool body further defines a second opening extending perpendicular to the opening, the second opening defining a path extending into the second chamber.
