This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install and connect the Extron
Cable Cubby 500 and 700 Cable Access Enclosures.
The Cable Cubby units are furniture-mounted enclosures for cable access,
connections, and AC power. Cables that are not in use can be stored out of the
way while remaining connected to the presentation system.
Planning
Check with local and state regulations before starting
the installation:
Ensure that the planned installation complies with building and electrical codes. Ensure that the planned installation complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act or
other accessibility requirements.
Check all parts and equipment before installation:
Ensure that all parts are present in each kit. Ensure that necessary tools and equipment are available for the installation.

Preparing the Table
Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed. Read the following information before making a cut.
Determine the best location for the enclosure.
Ensure that the location where the Cable Cubby is to be installed is convenient for as many users as possible. Ensure that the edge on which the lid opens is oriented correctly. Ensure that there is ample space under the table for cables. When installing Retractors in the Cable Cubby, ensure that there is enough space for the Retractor assembly under the table
or furniture (see dimensions for the Retractors below).
NOTES:
• To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, allow at least 3 inches of clearance from the exposed cable side of
the enclosure (see the diagrams below).
• Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under-table cabling to prevent accidental contact or
entanglement (see Routing and Connecting Cables on page 6).

Choose a method for cutting the hole in the table.
ATTENTION: 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 :L’ouverture dans la table pour le CableCubby devrait être coupée seulement par des artisans autorisés et
qualiés. Faites attention à ne pas faire de marques sur le meuble et à ne pas l’endommager.
CAUTION:Wear safety glasses when operating power equipment. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

For the power module:
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. To ensure proper
electrical grounding, use at least two of the provided

Connecting a Cable Cubby 500 CCB
Lower the Cable Cubby into the hole to test the t.
If necessary, carefully enlarge the opening.
For Cable Cubby 500 CCB models, follow the instructions below, then proceed to “Mounting the Cable Cubby in the Table.”
The Cable Cubby 500 CCB contains three contact closure buttons to control input selection on Extron switchers and products with
contact closure control ports. Wire the Cable Cubby switches to the control product as shown in the wiring diagram below.
To wire the captive screw connectors:
1. Strip away 3 inches of the outer jacket
from the end of the cable, and
3/16 inch (5 mm) of the inner jacket
from the end of each wire.
2. Secure the wires to the captive screw
connector using an Extron Tweeker
or other small screwdriver. Follow the
wiring diagram at the right.
