About the Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800

Extron Cable Cubby products are furniture-mounted, architectural solutions that provide
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.
For international markets, several different types of power receptacles are available,
including universal, UK, French, Australian, and European receptacles.

NOTE: The universal AC outlet is fully compatible with various plug types. See the

Universal AC Outlet Compatibility Guide on the Extron website, www.extron.com, for
compatibility details on all plug types.

The four different sizes of Cable Cubby provide room for the indicated number of
Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs):

• Cable Cubby 800 USA/domestic model — Eight single space (single height) AAPs

• Cable Cubby 800 (AC module optional) — Ten single space (single height) AAPs

Figure 1. Cable Cubby 300S US/domestic Enclosure

The AAP spaces inside the Cable Cubby allow you to customize the enclosure to meet
your unique needs. The split AAPs (included) can store almost any type of cable you might
encounter. The Extron 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.

The installed Cable Cubby fits 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
(see figure 2). Half-moon cutouts in the lid allow you to run cables in or out and then close
the lid. The lid can also be lowered into its recessed position.

Installation

This section covers the following topics:

• Installation Overview

• Preparing the Routing Template

• Preparing the Table

• Installing the Cables and AAPs

• Mounting the Cable Cubby

Installation Overview

Install and set up the Cable Cubby enclosures as follows:

1. If you plan to use a mounting template that has not been prepared, prepare the

template (see “Preparing the Routing Template” below).

2. Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed (see “Preparing the

Table” on the next page).

3. Run 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.

4. If 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 number 68-734-01.

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

into the Cable Cubby (see “Installing the Cables and AAPs” on page 7).

6. If applicable, connect cables to the rear connectors on the passive AAPs and install the

AAPs in the cubby (see “Installing the AAPs” on page 10).

7. Mount the Cable Cubby in the table (see “Mounting the Cable Cubby” on page 10).

8. Peel the protective film from the top surface.

9. Connect the Cable Cubby power cord.

Preparing the Routing Template

Extron offers metal templates for each Cable Cubby model; see “Routing Template Part

Numbers” on page 19 for part numbers. Extron recommends using this template as a

guide to cut the hole in the table where the cubby will be installed.

NOTE: The 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 inch x 4 inch strips of soft, finished lumber to a length that is long enough to

span the distance between the desired installation location on the mounting surface and
the edges of the mounting surface (see figure 4).

Cable Cubby 300/600/800 • Installation 4

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

2. Using four or more short wood screws, secure the mounting template to the lumber

strips.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. Do not allow the wood screws to

protrude through the bottom of the wooden strips. Protruding screws will scratch
the table when the template is used.

The preferred and recommended method for preparing the table for square Cable Cubby
models is to use the appropriate Extron routing template and a router.

For the Cable Cubby 300C, you may use the routing template and a router or use a 6-inch
hole saw.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. 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.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. 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.

Alternatively, for any model, you can use a paper cut-out template (see “Top Plate

Dimensions” on page 20) and a sabre saw or keyhole saw. However, this method is not

recommended.

Cable Cubby 300/600/800 • Installation 5

Preparing the Table with a Router

Prepare the table with a router as follows:

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. The routing templates for the various

Cable Cubby models 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.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. Ensure that only the wooden strips

on the routing template contact the furniture. Failure to do so may scratch the furniture.

NOTE: The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard the template when the

installation is complete. Save it for installing other Cable Cubby models of the same
size.

1. Mark the desired mounting location on the tabletop or other installation surface.

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 an improperly
positioned Cable Cubby.

3. Once the template assembly is positioned properly, secure the assembly to the table

with C-clamps.

CAUTION: Risk of injury to the eyes. Wear safety glasses when operating the

router. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

4. Using a router with a 5/8 inch (or 16 mm) outside diameter guide bushing and a

1/2 inch (or 12 mm or 12.7 mm) diameter straight router bit, carefully cut the opening in
the surface (see figure 5).

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 inch circle, then find and mark

the center of the circle.

CAUTION: Risk of injury to the eyes. Wear safety glasses when operating the

drill. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

2. Using a portable drill with a 6-inch (or 152 mm) hole saw, carefully cut the opening in

the table surface at the desired location (see figure 6). Extron is not responsible for an
improperly positioned Cable Cubby.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. Use a portable drill with sufficient

power to handle the 6-inch hole saw. Exercise caution when handling the drill and
hole saw. Take care to protect the mounting surface from damage.

Figure 6. Cutting the Opening with a Hole Saw

Installing the Cables and AAPs

Each Cable Cubby model ships with one or two moveable AAP shelf assemblies.

AAP Shelf Brackets

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-space AAPs (see figure 7).

Figure 7. Shelf Brackets

Cable Cubby 300/600/800 • Installation 7

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 or standard AAPs outside the cubby and then install
the populated AAP shelf assembly into the cubby.

NOTE: On US/domestic models, the power module takes up two 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.

Installing the Power Module

From the underside of the Cable Cubby, gently push the power module into the desired
position at the desired elevation. Secure the power module into position with four Phillips
head screws (see figure 8).

NOTE: The universal AC outlet is fully compatible with various plug types. See the

Universal AC Outlet Compatibility Guide on the Extron website, www.extron.com, for
compatibility details on all plug types.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. To ensure good electrical grounding,

use the star washers with the screws.

Installing the Cables

Three half-moon cutouts in each set of cable pass-through (split) AAPs loosely channel
three cables in the Cable Cubby. Each channel is padded with a split grommet to prevent
cable wear. Each channel and each associated split grommet is a different size
(see figure 9).

A typical installation consists of a VGA cable, an audio cable, and a network cable. In a
typical installation, the VGA cable runs in the largest channel, the network cable runs in the
middle (medium) channel, and the audio cable runs in the smaller channel. In a
non-standard installation, match the diameter of the cable to the size of the channel as best
you can.

Install cables in the channels as follows:

1. Remove a segment of a set of split AAPs by unscrewing the nuts on the underside of

the bracket that fastens the plate to the shelf bracket (see figure 7, on page 7).

2. Rest the cables in the half-moon cutouts of the split AAP segment still mounted on the

shelf brackets. Place the cables so that the connectors protrude from the front of the
split AAP segment.

3. Insert the screws of the split AAP segment that you removed in step 1 through the holes

in the shelf bracket. Ensure that the cables are free in the channels that the two split
AAP segments form without being pinched where the two segments meet.

4. Secure the split AAP segment to the shelf brackets with the provided captive washers

and #4-40 nuts.

5. Slip the appropriate size split grommet over each

cable with the flange of the grommet toward the
connector that will be accessible inside the Cable
Cubby. Snap the grommets into the channels.

6. If applicable, snap the included hole plugs into unused

channels in place of the split grommets.

Cable Cubby 300/600/800 • Installation 9

Installing the AAPs

The split AAPs can be replaced with passive Extron AAPs.

Replace a set of split AAPs as follows:

1. Remove the set of split AAPs to be replaced by unscrewing the nuts on the underside

of the shelf bracket that fasten the plates to the bracket (see figure 7, on page 7).

2. Cable the AAP(s) before attaching the AAPs to the enclosure.

3. Insert the screws of the AAPs through the holes in the shelf or shelf bracket. Secure the

AAPs to the shelf brackets with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts.

Installing the Shelf Assembly

From the underside of the Cable Cubby, gently push the AAP shelf assembly into the
desired position at the desired elevation. Ensure there is enough space above the AAP
assembly for the Cable Cubby lid to close completely. Secure the AAP shelf assembly into
position with four Phillips head screws.

NOTE: If the AAP shelf assembly does not slide easily into the cubby, loosen the AAP

mounting nuts. Retighten the AAP mounting nuts once the AAP shelf assembly is
installed in position.

Mounting the Cable Cubby

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The flanged edges of the top of the surface

enclosure are sharp. Exercise caution when the cubby is not installed in a table to
prevent personal injury.

11. Tighten the locking thumbscrews on the screw clamps to lock the clamp in position.

Replacing Cables or an AAP

Before you change the cables or replace one or more AAPs inside the cubby, you must
remove the AAP shelf assembly from the Cable Cubby. Use the following guidelines as
applicable:

1. If the Phillips head screws on the front and rear of the cubby are blocked by the table,

remove the cubby from the table. See “Removing and Replacing the Cable Cubby”
steps 1 through 4, on page 12.

2. Remove the AAP shelf assembly(ies) by removing the four Phillips head screws on the

front and rear of the Cable Cubby and gently pushing the assembly out through the
bottom of the cubby.

3. Change the cables and AAPs the same way you installed them. See “Installing the

Cables and AAPs” on page 7.

4. If you removed the cubby from the table, reinstall the enclosure. See “Removing and

Replacing the Cable Cubby,” steps 7 through 10, on page 13.

Adding an Additional Power Module (CC 600 and CC 800)

Each additional USA/domestic power module occupies two AAP spaces, and each
international power module (optional) occupies three AAP spaces. Additional power
modules reduce the amount of AAP space available in the cubby for cable pass-through
(split) or passive AAPs. Use the following guidelines as applicable:

NOTE: The universal AC outlet is fully compatible with various plug types. See the

Universal AC Outlet Compatibility Guide on the Extron website, www.extron.com, for
compatibility details on all plug types.

1. Replacement two-space, three-space, and four-space shelf brackets and cable

pass-through (split) AAPs are available from Extron, and may be required to maximize
the remaining available space if you add a power module.

• Cable Cubby 300 models — Adding a second power module is not

recommended. With a second power module, there is either room left for only a
single one-space AAP or no AAP space left at all (depending on the model).

• Cable Cubby 600 and 800 (AC module optional) — In general, you probably do

not need replacement shelf brackets when you add an international module to a
Cable Cubby with no pre-installed power module. The power module replaces a

• Cable Cubby 600 and 800 US/domestic models — You probably do need

replacement shelf brackets when you add a US/domestic power module to a
US/domestic Cable Cubby. This is because the power module takes up two spaces
in a cubby that, in its standard configuration, is equipped with three-space (Cable
Cubby 600) or four-space (Cable Cubby 800) shelves.

Figure 14 on the next page shows typical configurations before and after you add

a second US/domestic power module to a US/domestic Cable Cubby 600 and
suggests rack shelf configurations to replace the lost shelf space.

remove the cubby from the table (see “Removing and Replacing the Cable Cubby,”
steps 1 through 4, on page 12).

3. Before you add an additional power module, you must make room for the Cable Cubby

by eliminating two or three AAP spaces and the AAP shelf brackets that support them.
Remove the Phillips head screws on the front and rear of the Cable Cubby and gently
push the assembly(ies) out through the bottom of the cubby.

4. From the underside of the Cable Cubby, gently push the additional power module into

the desired position at the desired elevation. Secure the power module into position
with the four included Phillips head screws (see figure 16).

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. To ensure good electrical

grounding, use the star washers with the screws.

5. If desired, assemble and install replacement AAP shelf assemblies. Remember that

the cable pull function of the Cable Cubby requires at least a two-space AAP (see
“Installing the Cables and AAPs” on page 7).

6. If you removed the cubby from the table, reinstall the enclosure (see “Removing and

Replacing the Cable Cubby” steps 7 through 10, on page 13).
