Abstract
A method of installing a coil of cable on a cable reel apparatus that includes the steps of placing the coil of cable on a first flange of a separable cable reel of the cable reel apparatus; releasably coupling the first flange with a separate second flange of the separable cable reel after placing the coil of cable on the first flange; and placing the separable cable reel in a bag of the cable reel apparatus. The first flange includes a hub portion configured to be received in an inner diameter of the coil of cable, and the hub portion supports the coil of cable between the first and second flanges when the first and second flanges are releasably coupled. The coil of cable is a pre-wound, reel-less coil of cable.
