A cable reel assembly 10 for storing a cable 18, such as an electric vehicle (EV) charging cable, has a cylindrical, rotatable reel 12 for storing a cable in a coiled or spiral configuration, which may form a single winding. The assembly may include a spiral separator for separating a cable wound around the reel with a cable receiving space defined by adjacent sections of the spiral separator. A cable restraining means 14, which may be formed of a cage having rollers 24, restrains movement of the cable away from reel during unwinding of the cable, which may be guided using a cable carriage 26 moving along a shaft 30. The carriage may have an indexing wheel 28 and a tensioning means 36, such as a roller.
