A cable retractor comprising interconnected restrainer segments attached end-to-end by pivot pins, such that the entire structure is foldable into a small space. A fiber optic cable is attached to restrainer segments in a manner such that the total path length of the fiber optic cable does not substantially change as the retractor is unfolded to an extended position from a folded position.
