ABSTRACT:
An improvement is disclosed for payout tubes secured within a container for a coil of cable therein so that the tube projects at its exit end through a hole in a wall of the container. The tube is adapted to dispense cable fed into its entrance end from inside to outside the container. The improvement is, broadly, providing at such entrance end a curved cable support surface extending around the tube of large enough radius of curvature to prevent deformation in cable, fed in contact with the surface into the tube, of tight bends causing kinking of and damage to the cable. Such surface may be provided either on a cap in turn fittable onto the tube at its entrance end or, alternatively, directly on the tube at that end.
