About the Cable Retraction System
The Cable Retraction System for Cable Cubby Enclosures is a cable retracting device
installed into, but not limited to,
Extron Electronics Cable Cubby products. The cable
retraction system can be mounted into all current Cable Cubby products.
The cable retraction system allows extended cables to be retracted back into the Cable
Cubby enclosure for storage without force or gravity. It also prevents cables from tangling
underneath the table as commonly seen with traditional gravity-fed systems. The retractor is
a compact multi-pulley assembly that provides a smooth consistent return motion with the
push of a button.
Each retractor comes pre-loaded with Extron tested and approved cable, optimized for
the specific cable diameter and flexibility. The standard retractor allows up to three feet of
cable to be extended from the top of the enclosure and provides up to six feet of pigtail for
connection of devices under the table. The XL series allows up to five feet of cable extension
and provides up to four feet of pigtail for under-table connections.
The Cable Retraction System is available in cable types to fit all applications. See
www.extron.com for current models.
