Summary:The present invention relates generally to optical fiber storage and management and, more particularly, to an optical fiber spool assembly. A technique for storing and managing optical fiber is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique is realized as an optical fiber spool assembly comprising an inner spool component and an outer housing component. The inner spool component beneficially comprises a first center base section surrounded by a first annular ring section. The outer housing component beneficially comprises a second center base section surrounded by a second annular ring section. An annular optical fiber cavity for retaining an optical fiber is formed when the inner spool component and the outer housing component are assembled.
