Provided is a cable retractor having a reel disposed within a shell having a bottom and peripheral sidewall. A central opening is disposed axially through the reel and shell, the reel and structured and arranged to provide a generally open pathway from a first vertical slot in the peripheral sidewall, through an open channel across a portion of the reel from a peripheral edge of a top radial wall of the reel to the central opening and from the central opening through a recessed groove in the bottom of the shell from the central opening through the peripheral sidewall. finger grips are provided by the reel to either side of the central opening. A ratchet is coupled to the bottom radial wall of the reel. A spring disposed between the reel and the generally round shell, the spring structured and arranged to permit the reel to be wound in a first direction for a plurality of complete revolutions. A pawl is disposed between the shell and the reel and structured and arranged to temporarily engage the ratchet. An external trigger is structured and arranged to disengage the pawl from the ratchet and allow the spring to drive rotation of the reel in a second direction opposite to the first.
