u

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install and connect the Extron
Cable Cubby 500 and 700 Cable Access Enclosures.
The Cable Cubby units are furniture-mounted enclosures for cable access,
connections, and AC power. Cables that are not in use can be stored out of the
way while remaining connected to the presentation system.

Planning
Check with local and state regulations before starting
the installation:
……Ensure that the planned installation complies with building and electrical codes.
……Ensure that the planned installation complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act or
other accessibility requirements.

Check all parts and equipment before installation:

……Ensure that all parts are present in each kit.
……Ensure that necessary tools and equipment are available for the installation.

Cable Cubby 500 and 700 • Installation Guide (Continued)
Preparing the Table
Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed. Read the following information before making a cut.
Determine the best location for the enclosure.
……Ensure that the location where the Cable Cubby is to be installed is convenient for as many users as possible.
……Ensure that the edge on which the lid opens is oriented correctly.
……Ensure that there is ample space under the table for cables.
……When installing Retractors in the Cable Cubby, ensure that there is enough space for the Retractor assembly under the table
or furniture (see dimensions for the Retractors below).
NOTES:
• To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, allow at least 3 inches of clearance from the exposed cable side of
the enclosure (see the diagrams below).
• Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under-table cabling to prevent accidental contact or
entanglement (see Routing and Connecting Cables on page 6).

Preparing the Cable Cubby
Step 1 — Assemble the connectivity modules of your choice.
Connectivity modules allow you to populate the Cable Cubby with a combination of AAPs, cable pass-through modules, or
Retractors.

Retractor Trim

Secure the Retractor trim

using the provided
mounting screws (2). NOTE:
• Use a screwdriver to secure the Retractor trim with the screws.
• After installing the trim, proceed to “Step 2 — Install the
modules” below to install the power module.
• Retractors are installed after the Cable Cubby is mounted on the
table (see Installing Retractors on page 5).

Step 2 — Install the modules.

Determine where the connectivity modules and power module will be installed
in the Cable Cubby. The modules may be installed at various heights.
NOTE: Ensure that there is enough room above the 2

Connecting a Cable Cubby 500 CCB
For Cable Cubby 500 CCB models, follow the instructions below, then proceed to “Mounting the Cable Cubby in the Table.”
The Cable Cubby 500 CCB contains three contact closure buttons to control input selection on Extron switchers and products with
contact closure control ports. Wire the Cable Cubby switches to the control product as shown in the wiring diagram below.

To wire the captive screw connectors:

1. Strip away 3 inches of the outer jacket
from the end of the cable, and
3/16 inch (5 mm) of the inner jacket
from the end of each wire.
2. Secure the wires to the captive screw
connector using an Extron Tweeker
or other small screwdriver. Follow the
wiring diagram at the right.

Mounting the Cable Cubby in the Table

Step 1 — Mount the Cable Cubby flush with the table.

1 Remove the plastic strips

and film on the surface of
the Cable Cubby.
2 Ensure that the
side clamps are
seated against
the enclosure.
CAUTION: The flanged edges of the top of the
surface enclosure are sharp. These edges are also
soft and may be easily nicked or bent. Exercise
caution when handling the enclosure to prevent
personal injury or damage to the enclosure.
ATTENTION : Les extrémités à brides du haut de la
surface du boîtier sont aiguisées. Ces extrémités
sont aussi lisses et peuvent facilement être
coupées ou pliées. Soyez prudents lorsque vous
manipulez le boîtier afin d’éviter de l’endommager
ou de vous blesser.

3 Lower the Cable Cubby into the hole to test the fit.
If necessary, carefully enlarge the opening.
