Planning
The cable retraction system can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending upon under‑table clearance and accessibility.
The XL models, which provide additional cable length, can also be mounted at an angle. Where differences occur in mounting,
they will be noted.
Horizontal mounting is recommended to provide maximum legroom and to protect the retractors against accidental damage.
Vertical mounting is used where insufcient under‑table space exists for horizontal mounting or where under‑table access is
limited.
Angular mounting (XL models only) is used where insufcient under‑table space exists for horizontal mounting and tabletop
to oor clearance prevents vertical mounting. The XL enclosure has additional mounting holes that enable mounting at an angle
between vertical and horizontal.
• For horizontal mounting, a mounting bracket kit, part number 70-678-00, is required.
• Filler modules, part number 70-678-08, may be required to occupy unused retractor space.
• For Cable Cubby200 applications, the CC200 Mounting Bracket Kit, part number 70-678-10, is required. Mounting
instructions are included with the kit and are also available online.
• For DC Power retractors, refer to the list on the website for laptop compatibility. Always use a power supply recommended
by the laptop manufacturer.
Kits and ller modules are available at www.extron.com.
For new installations, to determine the best location for the enclosure, keep in mind the under‑table space required for the
retraction system. Once the optimal mounting location for the CableCubby is determined, follow the instructions for cutting a
hole in the table (if necessary) and mounting the enclosure. Then install the retractors, AAP brackets, AAPs, and power module.
NOTE: When AAP modules are relocated or removed to provide space for the retraction system, associated
AAP brackets may require reconfiguration or replacement. Before starting an installation, determine if
replacement AAP brackets will be needed. Replacement brackets may be ordered from the Extron website.
If there will be no under‑table access after the Cable Cubby enclosure is mounted, the retraction system must be installed before
the enclosure is mounted (see “Alternative Solution — Drop-in Installations” on page8). Otherwise the enclosure may be
congured and mounted, then the retraction system installed from underneath.

Getting Started — Determine Under-table Clearances
The diagrams below and on the next page show the space required for a retraction system installation in a Cable Cubby
enclosure.
NOTES:
• To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, ensure at least 3inches of clearance from the
exposed cable side of the enclosure.
• Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under‑table cabling to prevent
accidental contact or entanglement with users.
For new installations:
Choose the optimal furniture mounting location for the Cable Cubby enclosure. The nal location may require some adjustment
depending upon under‑table clearances required for the retraction system. Once the location has been determined, follow the
instructions provided with the enclosure to mount the enclosure and install AAP brackets, AAPs, and the power module.
For retrofit installations:
For most installations, the Cable Cubby enclosure does not require removal. Disconnect all power to the CableCubby before
retraction system installation.

All installations (Except Drop-In):
The retraction system can be mounted from below the Cable Cubby enclosure.
Horizontal Mounting: Be certain the horizontal mounting bracket can be fastened under the table or on a table support without
bending the pulley system or forcing it from perpendicular with the enclosure (see the Top View diagram below, left).
Vertical Mounting: Ensure the retraction system will hang freely without touching the oor and is not obstructed by anything
under the table. The standard system requires about 24inches (61cm) and the XL systems require about 30inches (76.2 cm)
from the top of the furniture to clear the oor.
Angular Mounting (XL models only): For installations where the tabletop is less than 30 inches from the oor, the XL retractor
system is too long for vertical mounting and there may not be adequate under‑table clearance for horizontal mounting. An
additional mounting hole has been provided for these installations that allow the retractor system to install at an angle providing
extra oor clearance (see diagram below, right).
