A storage assembly stores media, such as an optical fiber or the like, such that opposite ends of the media can be independently withdrawn. For example, one end may be withdrawn in one direction, with the second end remaining stationary, and then the second end may be withdrawn in another direction. The ends may be connected with respective network elements or the like for conducting testing or trouble-shooting, for example. When the media is no longer needed for the testing or trouble-shooting, the ends may be retracted back into the storage assembly. The entire unit is lightweight and portable. It can be suspended from above, placed on the floor, or held by a technician. Multiple storage assembly units may be packaged together into a single universal cabinet and secured into an appropriate area in a central office or laboratory environment.
