About this User Guide
This guide contains information to install, adjust, and operate Extron Electronics
CableRetractionSystem for CableCubby® 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.

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 • 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).
• CC 200 Bracket— For Cable Cubby 200 enclosures allows mounting up to two
retractors total.

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
Horizontal Mounting
Bracket (Optional)
Part 70-678-00
page29).
• Filler modules, part number 70-678-08,
may be required to occupy unused retractor
space (see Optional Accessories on
page29).

• For DC Power retractors, refer to the list on
the website for laptop compatibiiity. Always
use a power supply recommended by the laptop manufacturer.
The retraction system must be mounted on either
side of the enclosure with the cable release buttons

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).
