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 TLESeries
enclosures, and CableCubby TouchLink™Touchpanels (TLP350CV and TLP710CV
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
6feet (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 • Introduction1
•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).
•CC 200 Bracket— For Cable Cubby 200 enclosures allows mounting up to two
retractors total.

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
Horizontal Mounting
Bracket (Optional)

A Cable Cubby Series Installation Guide with details of the AAP bracket requirements,
along with the horizontal mounting bracket, filler module, CC200 mounting bracket kit,
AAPbrackets, 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 page18).
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 (1.8m) and
XL retractors have 4 feet (1.2m) 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.

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
CC200/300/600/800 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 Started5
For new Installations:
Choose the optimal mounting location for the CableCubby 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 CC300, CC600, CC800
Enclosure Clearances on page6 and TLP 350CV, TLP 710CV, TLE 350, TLE 710
Enclosure Clearances on page7).
Angular Mounting (XL models only): For installations where the tabletop is less than
30inches 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).

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 figure8). 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.

Under-furniture space for the retractor and power must be available for the OEM laptop
power supply. The power supply module should be safely located and supply leads should
be dressed to avoid entanglements and accidental contact.
The power supply (a) must be compatible with both the laptop power requirements and the
female connector (b) on the under-table end of the retractor cable.
The DC power connector (c) must be compatible with the laptop power connection.
Three labels (Dell, HP, and blank-printable) are provided for the
topside connector to identify the laptop it is compatible with.
Affix the appropriate label as shown at right.
Cable Retraction System • Installation19
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.

Extend a Cable
To connect a cable, grip it by the connector and pull enough cable from the retractor to
connect to the device. There is no need to press the cable release button when extending
a cable. When you stop pulling the cable, the cable release assembly will fix the length
automatically.
Cable Retraction System • Operation21
Retract a Cable
1. Disconnect the cable from the device and with one hand hold it firmly by the connector
to keep the cable taught.
2. With your other hand, press and hold the cable release button.
CAUTION: Use one hand to control the cable as it retracts. A cable allowed to
retract too quickly and without control can cause possible injury to the user or
damage the furniture surface, Cable Cubby, and nearby items.
3. With one hand pressing the release button, continue to hold the cable with the other
hand and allow it to slowly be pulled back into the retractor.
4. When the stop collar (or connector if the cable does not have a stop collar) is seated
against the cable release assembly, release the cable and button.

ATTENTION:
• Each Extron retractor model is designed with custom-made cable and a unique matching spring that work
together to maintain cable signal integrity and preserve consistent cable retraction pull force over the life of
the product. Alterations to the retractor will cause premature failure of the retractor system and cables.
• Modifications to the Retractor System are prohibited and will void the Extron warranty for this product.
Consult your Sales representative for more information.
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.
