About this User Guide

This guide contains information to install, adjust, and operate Extron Electronics CableRetractionSystem for CableCubby® Enclosures, and the Extended Length Cable Retraction System for Cable Cubby

In this guide, the terms “system”, or “retraction system” are used to refer to the Cable Retraction System for Cable Cubby Enclosures and the Extended Length Cable Retraction System for Cable Cubby® Enclosures which includes up to three individual retractors. The term “retractor” refers to an individual retractor in the system, and the term “enclosure” refers to a Cable Cubby furniture-mountable enclosure. The term “XL” refers to the XL series. Where differences in preparation, installation, operation, or maintenance may occur, they are called out.

Enclosures.

About the Cable Retraction System

The Cable Retraction System for Cable Cubby Enclosures is a cable retracting device installed into, but not limited to, Extron Electronics Cable Cubby products. The cable retraction system can be mounted into all current Cable Cubby products.

The cable retraction system allows extended cables to be retracted back into the Cable Cubby enclosure for storage without force or gravity. It also prevents cables from tangling underneath the table as commonly seen with traditional gravity-fed systems. The retractor is a compact multi-pulley assembly that provides a smooth consistent return motion with the push of a button.

Each retractor comes pre-loaded with Extron tested and approved cable, optimized for the specific cable diameter and flexibility. The standard retractor allows up to three feet of cable to be extended from the top of the enclosure and provides up to six feet of pigtail for connection of devices under the table. The XL series allows up to five feet of cable extension and provides up to four feet of pigtail for under-table connections.

The Cable Retraction System is available in cable types to fit all applications. See

www.extron.com for current models.

Features

• Compatible with most Cable Cubby enclosures— The retraction system is easily

integrated with Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 series enclosures, the TLESeries enclosures, and CableCubby TouchLink™Touchpanels (TLP350CV and TLP710CV only). An adapter is available for installation into the Cable Cubby 200 enclosure.

• Cables extend up to 3 feet (90 cm) (XL series extend up to 5 feet)— Available

6feet (1.8 m) pigtail on standard retractors and 4 feet (1.2 m) pigtail on XL series retractors for connection to under-table electronics or floor boxes.

Cable Retraction System • Introduction 1

• Flexible installation alternatives— Retractor can be installed under a table or other

work surface in either a vertical or horizontal position.

• DC Laptop Power— Refer to the retraction system DC power compatibility list on the

website for laptop compatibility. Always use the power supply recommended by the laptop manufacturer.

• Filler Modules (optional)— For mounting fewer than three retractors on each side

(fewer than two for the Cable Cubby 200).

Planning

Filler modules (part take up the same space as one retractor.

The cable retraction system can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending upon under-table clearance and accessibility.

Horizontal mounting is recommended to provide maximum legroom and to protect the retractors against accidental damage.

Vertical mounting is used where insufficient under-table space exists for horizontal mounting or where under-table access is limited.

Angular mounting (XL models only) is used where insufficient under-table space exists for horizontal mounting and tabletop to floor clearance prevents vertical mounting. The XL enclosure has additional mounting holes that enable mounting at an angle between horizontal and vertical.

• For horizontal mounting, a mounting

bracket kit, part number 70-678-00, is required (see Optional Accessories on

A Cable Cubby Series Installation Guide with details of the AAP bracket requirements, along with the horizontal mounting bracket, filler module, CC200 mounting bracket kit, AAPbrackets, and a laptop compatibility list are available at www.extron.com.

CAUTION:

• Do not operate a retractor until it is installed.

• Keep hands away from moving parts.

Determine Under-table Clearances and Connections

For all retractable system installations be certain there is adequate under-table space and the retractor pigtail can reach under-table devices. The following diagrams show the under-table clearances required for installation and operation of the retractor system mounted in a Cable Cubby, TouchLink, or TLE series enclosure.

NOTES:

• To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, ensure at least 3 inches of

clearance from the exposed cable side of the retractor enclosure.

• Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under-table

cabling to prevent accidental contact or entanglement with users.

If there is limited under-table access after the Cable Cubby enclosure is mounted, the retraction system can be installed before the enclosure is mounted (see Alternative Solutions on page18).

For CC 200 installations, see Cable Cubby 200 on page 12.

Pigtails

To make connections to devices under the table, standard retractors have 6 feet (1.8m) and XL retractors have 4 feet (1.2m) of pigtail from the exit of the cable retainer as shown below. Depending on the retractor mounting and the location of the devices, you may require patch cables to extend the reach of the pigtail.

Pigtail Starts Here

Figure 4. Pigtail Length

If you need to connect to devices further than the pigtails allow, contact your Extron representative or go to www.extron.com for a full line of patch cables.

In vertical installations, the pigtail begins 9.5 inches (24.1 cm) below the table top in CC200/300/600/800 models for both standard and XL models, and 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) below the table top for TLP 350CV/710CV and TLE 350/710 enclosures (see figure 5 on page 6 and figure 6 on page 7).

Cable Retraction System • Before Getting Started 5

For new Installations:

Choose the optimal mounting location for the CableCubby enclosure. The final 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 for mounting and installing a power module and AAPs.

For retrofit installations:

For most retrofit installations, the Cable Cubby enclosure does not require removal. Disconnect all power to the Cable Cubby before retraction system installation.

All Installations (Except Drop-in)

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 figure 7, “Top View”).

Vertical Mounting: Ensure the retraction system will hang freely without touching the floor and is not obstructed by anything under the table (see CC300, CC600, CC800

Enclosure Clearances on page6 and TLP 350CV, TLP 710CV, TLE 350, TLE 710 Enclosure Clearances on page7).

Angular Mounting (XL models only): For installations where the tabletop is less than

30inches from the floor, 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 floor clearance (see figure 7, right).

DANGER: SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Remove all power from the Cable

Cubby enclosure before beginning a retraction system installation.

All Installations

By now you should be certain the retraction system has adequate under-table clearance for installation and that proper legroom will be provided to avoid accidental contact with the system. You should have the required accessories for mounting the retraction system along with the necessary AAPs and AAP brackets to reconfigure the enclosure.

The retraction system requires two adjacent AAP spaces and must be installed on one side of the enclosure or the other with the cable release buttons against the enclosure side walls (see figure8). Filler modules, when used, take up the same space as one retractor. Where the retraction system is installed in the enclosure is based on under-table clearance, the mounting orientation of the retractors, and operation preferences.

Install or reconfigure the power module and AAP modules and brackets before beginning the installation of the retraction system.

Retrofit Installations

Prepare the AAP spaces for the retraction system ensuring sufficient under-table clearance for the retraction system.

Relocate, remove, or replace existing AAPs and reconfigure associated AAP brackets to make room for the retraction system.

CC200 Bracket and Retractor Mounting

1. Using the supplied mounting bolt (1/4-20 x 3 inch), mount the CC200 bracket to the

retractor as shown.

NOTE: If only one retractor is mounted, use a filler module (part number

70-678-08) in place of the second retractor.

Once the retractor is mounted to the bracket, the assembly may be installed.

2. The cable stops and connectors may be too large to fit through the AAP opening at the

same time as the retractor. Pull a short amount of cable out of the retractor and push it through the AAP opening prior to installing the bracket and retractor assembly.

Alternative Solutions

Drop-in Installations

For installations with limited under-table access, the retractors must be installed before dropping the enclosure into the table. All drop-in installations must be mounted vertically or using angular mounting.

1. For retrofit installations, remove the Cable Cubby enclosure from the furniture.

For new installations follow the Cable Cubby enclosure preparation instructions but do not mount the enclosure.

2. Install the retraction system in the enclosure following the installation instructions (see

CC300, CC600, CC800, TLE, TLP Installation on page14) and locking screw

instructions (see Locking Screw (Optional) on page17).

3. Once the retraction system is installed, lower the

enclosure and retraction system into the cutout ensuring that kinking or bending of the cables is prevented. If the bottom of the retractors will not be accessible, connect the pigtails before lowering the system.

4. After the enclosure has been dropped into the opening,

lift it just enough to allow the two screw clamps to be installed.

NOTE: Connect all cables before lowering the enclosure into the cutout.

Screw Clamp (both sides)

NOTE: In drop-in type installations, it is not

possible to adjust the screw clamps for an exact fit and will take some trial and error to adjust it for the tightest fit.

Connect the Cables

Connect the under-enclosure cables to the proper device.

If additional cable length is needed use Extron cable as required.

Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use wire ties to secure under-table cabling to prevent accidental contact or entanglement with users.

Verify Cable Release Operation

After installation, check the operation of the cable release assembly. Pull a length of cable from the system. The cable release button stops the cable from retracting back into the system when pulling ceases.

Make certain the cable pulls freely without jerking or requiring excessive force. If it does, check under the enclosure to determine if something has fallen into the retraction system to cause tangling of the cable or is jamming the pulley system. Also be certain the cable is properly routed around the pulleys (see figure 22 on page 20).

Release the cable. Hold the connector and press the release button. When retracting, hold the cable end as the release button is pressed. Restrict the cable retraction to a slow, controlled motion.

Ensure the cable retracts completely into the system. The stop collar (or connector if there is no stop collar) will rest on the seat of the cable stop assembly, stopping cable travel. If it does not, proceed to Pulley System

Adjustment on page 23.

Pulley System Adjustment

The tension on the cable that provides constant force during cable extension and retraction is maintained by proper adjustment of the pulley system. Too little tension and the cable will have slack or may slip out of the pulley tracks, and will not retract properly.

To Adjust the Pulley System:

1. Before beginning pulley system adjustments, ensure the cable routing around the pulley

system is correct (see below) and the cable is completely retracted into the enclosure.

Cables should be in the correct pulley track, taught, and parallel to each other.
