Preparing the Table
The preferred and recommended method for preparing the table
for square Cable Cubbies and one of two preferred methods for
the Cable Cubby 300C is to use the appropriate Extron routing
template and a router.
For the Cable Cubby 300C, another preferred method is to use a
6" hole saw.
Alternatively, for any model, you can use a paper cut-out
template (see appendix A) and a sabre saw or keyhole saw, but
this method is not recommended.
C The opening in the table for the Cable Cubby should
be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople.
Exercise care to prevent scarring or damaging the
furniture.
The surfaces of the Cable Cubby enclosure have
screws and other protruding hardware that could
damage fi ne furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on
unprotected furniture.
Preparing the table with a router
Prepare the table with a router as follows:
C The routing templates for the various Cable Cubbies
are not interchangeable. If you use the wrong
template, you will cut an improperly-sized hole. If
you use a larger template than required, the cut will
result in gaps in the table surface on either side of
the enclosure.
C Ensure that only the wooden strips on the routing
template contact the furniture. Failure to do so may
mar the furniture.
N The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard
the template when the installation is complete. Save it
for installing other Cable Cubbies of the same size.
1 . Locate the desired mounting location on the tabletop or
other installation surface. Mark the location.
2 . Place the mounting template assembly on the table,
centered on the mounting location. Angle the template
for the optimum positioning. If necessary, use a square to
ensure that the template is properly positioned. Extron is
not responsible for improperly positioned Cable Cubbies.
3 . Once the template assembly is positioned properly, secure
the assembly to the table with C-clamps.
W Wear safety glasses when operating the router.
Failure to comply can result in eye injury.
4 . Using a router with a 5/8" (or 16 mm) outside diameter
guide bushing and a 1/2" (or 12 mm or 12.7 mm) diameter
straight router bit, carefully cut the opening in the surface
(fi gure 2-2).
