Introduction

About the Cable Cubby® Products

The Extron Cable Cubbies are furniture-mounted, architectural solutions for inconspicuous cable access and connection points. When cables are not in use, they can be stored out of the way while remaining connected to the presentation system.

Most US/domestic Cable Cubby models provide two unswitched USA AC power outlets. The US/domestic Cable Cubby 200 provides one outlet. Each of the international versions provides a single unswitched AC power outlet appropriate to the region where the Cable Cubby is sold. Several different types of power receptacles are available for the international version, including UK, French, Israeli, Australian, Indian, European, and Swiss receptacles.

The four different sizes of Cable Cubbies provide room for the indicated number of Extron’s Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs):

Cable Cubby 800 USA/domestic model — Eight singlespace (single-height) AAPs

Cable Cubby 800 (international model) — Seven singlespace (single-height) AAPs

Cable Cubby 600 USA/domestic model — Six singlespace AAPs

Cable Cubby 600 (international model) — Five singlespace AAPs

Cable Cubby 300 USA/domestic model — Three singlespace AAPs

Cable Cubby 300S — Square cover (figure 1-1)

Cable Cubby 300C — Circular (round) cover

Cable Cubby 300 (international model) — Two singlespace AAPs

Cable Cubby 300S — Square cover

Cable Cubby 300C — Circular (round) cover

Cable Cubby 200 (all models) — Two single-space AAPs

Figure 1-1 — Cable Cubby 300S US/domestic enclosure

The AAP spaces inside the cubbies allow you to customize the enclosure to meet your unique needs, with the included split double space AAPs and Extron’s full line of optional passive AAPs. The split AAPs can store almost any type of cable

you might encounter. The line of passive AAPs allows you to customize the AAP with almost any kind of pass-through connectivity you may need.

The elevation of the AAPs inside the cubby and the arrangement of the AAPs and the power outlets are adjustable to suit cable lengths and connector types.

NThe elevation and arrangement of the power outlet and AAPs in the Cable Cubby 200 are fixed and not customizable.

Introduction, cont’d

The installed Cable Cubbies fit nearly flush within a table or podium top, storing the AAPs and cables out of the way and out of sight. To access the AAPs and connectors, lift the lid (figure 1-2). Half-moon cutouts in the lid allow you to run cables in or out and then close the lid. For Cable Cubby 300s, 600s, and 800s, you can lower the lid into its recessed position.

Figure 1-2 — Typical Cable Cubby 800 application

The Cable Cubby 300 is available with either a round or a rectangular top. The other cubbies all have rectangular tops only. Preparing the table to install a Cable Cubby 300C (round) requires simply drilling a hole in the table with a 6-inch hole saw (figure 1-3). Preparing the table to install a square cubby requires routing a square hole in the table top. Sheet metal routing templates are available on request for all models at no cost.

Installation

Installation Overview

Install and set up the Cable Cubby enclosures as follows:

1If you plan to use a mounting template that has not been prepared, prepare the template. See Preparing the Routing Template, later in this chapter.

2Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed. See Preparing the Table, later in this chapter.

3Run all cables necessary to support the AC connector, the cables stored in the cubby, and all planned AAP

connectors. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect or route them before the cubby is installed in the table.

4If applicable, install the power module. If your location requires electrical conduit, install an Extron flexible conduit kit. Refer to the Flexible Conduit Kit Installation Guide, Extron part #68-734-01.

5Install all desired cables into the cable pass-through (split) AAPs and install the AAPs into the Cable Cubby. See

Installing the Cables and AAPs, later in this chapter.

6If applicable, connect cables to the rear connectors on the passive AAPs and install the AAPs in the cubby. See Installing the AAPs, later in this chapter.

7Mount the Cable Cubby in the table. See Mounting the Cable Cubby, later in this chapter.

8Peel the protective film from the top surface.

9Connect the Cable Cubby power cord.

Preparing the Routing Template

Extron provides metal templates for the Cable Cubbies at no charge. See Routing Template Part Numbers, in appendix A,

Reference Information, for part numbers. Extron recommends using this template as a guide to cut the hole in the table where the cubby will be installed.

NThe metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard this template when the installation is complete. Save it for installing Cable Cubby models of the same size.

1.

Cut 1/2" x 4" strips of soft, finished lumber at least

 

long enough to span the distance between the desired

 

installation location on the mounting surface and the edges

 

of the mounting surface (figure 2-1).

These strips raise the routing template above the mounting surface to provide room for the router’s collar, protect the mounting surface, and extend the routing template’s reach so that it can be clamped to the edge of the surface.

CDo not allow the wood screws to protrude through the bottom of the wooden strips. Protruding screws will mar the table when the template is used.

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.

CThe 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 fine furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected furniture.

Preparing the table with a router

Prepare the table with a router as follows:

CThe 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.

CEnsure that only the wooden strips on the routing template contact the furniture. Failure to do so may mar the furniture.

NThe 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.

WWear 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

 

(figure 2-2).

Figure 2-2 — Cutting the opening with a router

5. Remove the C-clamps and the routing template.

Preparing the table with a hole saw (Cable Cubby 300C only)

Prepare the table with a hole saw as follows:

1. On the tabletop or other installation surface, mark the 6" circle, then find and mark the center of the circle.

WWear safety glasses when operating the drill. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

2.

Using a portable drill with a 6" (or 152 mm) hole saw,

 

carefully cut the opening in the table surface at the

 

desired location (figure 2-3). Extron is not responsible for

 

improperly positioned Cable Cubbies.

CUse a portable drill with sufficient power to handle the 6” hole saw. Exercise caution when handling the drill and hole saw. Take care to protect the mounting surface from damage.

Installing the Cables and AAPs

Each Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 model ships with one or two moveable AAP shelf assemblies. The Cable Cubby 200’s AAP shelf is fixed in place.

AAP shelf brackets (CC 300, 600, 800)

Each shipped AAP shelf assembly consists of a set of shelf brackets and a number of cable pass-through (split) AAPs. Depending on the Cable Cubby model, each set of shelf brackets supports either two, three, or four single-space AAPs (figure 2-4).

and Split AAPs

and Split AAPs

Figure 2-4 — Shelf brackets

The simplest way to install the cables and AAPs in the Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 is to populate the shelf brackets with split and/or standard AAPs outside the cubby and then install the populated AAP shelf assembly into the cubby.

NCable cubby 300, 600, and 800 only —

On US/domestic models, the power module takes up two AAP spaces. On IEC, EU, Swiss, UK, Israeli, and Australian models, the power module takes up three AAP spaces. Cable pass-through AAPs take two, three, or four AAP spaces. Consider the arrangement of the

Cable Cubby AAPs when you install them so that you do not waste AAP space.
