A Cable Cubby Series Installation Guide with details of the AAP bracket requirements,
along with the horizontal mounting bracket, filler module, CC 200 mounting bracket kit,
AAP brackets, and a laptop compatibility list are available at
www.extron.com .
CAUTION:
• Do not operate a retractor until it is installed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
Determine Under-table Clearances and Connections
For all retractable system installations be certain there is adequate under-table space
and the retractor pigtail can reach under-table devices. The following diagrams show
the under-table clearances required for installation and operation of the retractor system
mounted in a Cable Cubby, TouchLink, or TLE series enclosure.
NOTES:
• To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, ensure at least 3 inches of
clearance from the exposed cable side of the retractor enclosure.
• Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under-table
cabling to prevent accidental contact or entanglement with users.
If there is limited under-table access after the Cable Cubby enclosure is mounted, the
retraction system can be installed before the enclosure is mounted
(see
Alternative Solutions on page 18).
For CC 200 installations, see Cable Cubby 200 on page 12.
Pigtails
To make connections to devices under the table, standard retractors have 6 feet (1.8 m) and
XL retractors have 4 feet (1.2 m) of pigtail from the exit of the cable retainer as shown below.
Depending on the retractor mounting and the location of the devices, you may require patch
cables to extend the reach of the pigtail.

If you need to connect to devices further than the pigtails allow, contact your Extron
representative or go to
www.extron.com for a full line of patch cables.
In vertical installations, the pigtail begins 9.5 inches (24.1 cm) below the table top in
CC 200/300/600/800 models for both standard and XL models, and 10.5 inches (26.7 cm)
below the table top for TLP 350CV/710CV and TLE 350/710 enclosures (see figure
5 on
page 6 and figure 6 on page 7).
