A missile includes an optical fiber canister with the optical fiber wound as an annular fiber pack having an initial payout region extending from the inner annular surface. A reinforcing leader overlies the initial payout region of the optical fiber to form a leader composite structure. The leader composite structure is wound into a flat outwardly spiraling coil lying perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the annular fiber pack, with the outer turn of the spiral leading away from the optical fiber pack. The coil is encased in a mass of potting compound. At the initiation of optical fiber payout, the turns of the coil progressively tear free of the mass of potting compound to achieve a gradual loading of the optical fiber and opening of a path for the axial payout of the portion of the optical fiber not protected by the reinforcing leader.
