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 single-
space (single-height) AAPs
• Cable Cubby 800 (international model) — Seven single-
space (single-height) AAPs
• Cable Cubby 600 USA/domestic model — Six single-
space AAPs
• Cable Cubby 600 (international model) — Five single-
space AAPs
• Cable Cubby 300 USA/domestic model — Three single-
space AAPs
Cable Cubby 300S — Square cover (fi gure 1-1)
Cable Cubby 300C — Circular (round) cover
• Cable Cubby 300 (international model) — Two single-
space 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.

cables in or out and then close the lid. For Cable Cubby 300s,

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 (fi gure 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 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, later in this chapter.
2
Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be
installed. See Preparing the Table, later in this chapter.
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 fl exible
conduit kit. Refer to the Flexible Conduit Kit Installation
Guide, Extron part #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, later in this chapter.
6
If 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.
7
Mount the Cable Cubby in the table. See Mounting the
Cable Cubby, later in this chapter.
8
Peel the protective fi lm from the top surface.
9
Connect 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.
N
1. Cut 1/2" x 4" strips of soft, fi nished lumber at least
These strips raise the routing template above the mounting

this template when the installation is complete. Save it

long enough to span the distance between the desired
installation location on the mounting surface and the edges
of the mounting surface (fi gure 2-1).
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.
Do 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.
C
Preparing the table with a router
Prepare the table with a router as follows:
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.
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.
W
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).

Wear safety glasses when operating the router.

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 fi nd and mark the center of the circle.
W
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 (fi gure 2-3). Extron is not responsible for
improperly positioned Cable Cubbies.
C
Wear safety glasses when operating the drill.
Failure to comply can result in eye injury.
Use a portable drill with suffi cient 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 fi xed 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
(fi gure 2-4).

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.
N
Cable 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.
