Ensure that the edge that opens on the lid is oriented correctly.
Ensure there is enough space for all the system cables and components, including cable retractors, if they are to be installed.
The space requirements for retractors are shown in the TLP Pro 725C User Guide, which is available at www.extron.com.
Decide on the method for cutting a hole in the table:
• Hand router and template
• CNC wood router
• Jigsaw and paper template
Verify that you have the correct template or dimensions.
Check all relevant regulations.
Ensure that the installation complies with local, state, and national building and electrical codes.
Ensure that the installation complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other accessibility requirements.

Step 1 — Cut-out Dimensions
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.
• L’ouverture dans la table pour le CableCubby doit être coupée uniquement par un ouvrier détenteur d’une licence. Veillez
à ne pas laisser de marques ni à détériorer le mobilier.
• Use the appropriate metal Extron routing template or refer to the surface cutout dimensions before cutting a hole in the
furniture or other surface. Pay special attention to the direction the unit will face. The connector access side is underlined
(see Using a CNC wood cutter below). Extron is not responsible for miscut mounting holes.
• Utilisez le gabarit de détourage métallique approprié ou reportez-vous aux dimensions de découpe de la surface
indiquées ci-après avant de découper le meuble ou la surface. Faites particulièrement attention à la direction dans
laquelle l’unité sera dirigée. Le côté pour accéder au connecteur est souligné. Extron décline toute responsabilité en cas
d’erreurs de coupe.
• Ensure that the orientation of the Cable Cubby and the hole dimensions are correct before cutting the table.
• Assurez vous que la position du CableCubby et les dimensions du trou soient correctes avant de couper la table.
• Ensure the table surface is at least 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) thick.
• Assurez vous que la surface de la table est au moins 9,5 mm (0,375 pouce) d’épaisseur.
If using a hand router, you should purchase the Extron TLP Pro 725C routing template (see “Installation Routing Templates for
Cable Cubby Series/2 Enclosures” at www.extron.com).
If using a CNC wood router, use the exact cut-out dimensions (see Using a CNC wood cutter below).
If using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw, use the paper cut-out template (available under the Downloads tab on the TLP Pro 725C
page at www.extron.com).
Step 2 — Cut the Surface
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury: Wear safety glasses when operating power equipment.
ATTENTION : Risque de blessure: Portez des lunettes de sécurité lorsque vous utilisez l’équipement électrique.
Be certain the cut is laid out in exactly the desired location and the edge that opens on the lid is correctly oriented. After verifying
and checking dimensions, cut a hole in the surface of the furniture where the enclosure will be installed (see “Preparing the Table”
in the TLP Pro 725C Series User Guide). There are three methods for cutting the hole in the table:
Using a hand router
Recommended method — Use the Extron TLP Pro 725C
routing template (see “Installation Routing Templates for
Cable Cubby Series/2 Enclosures” at www.extron.com).
Refer to the Routing Template User Guide, available at
www.extron.com, to prepare the template and use the
template to cut the hole.
NOTE: The metal routing template must be
purchased separately. It is reusable and should not
be discarded when the installation is complete.
Using a CNC wood cutter
Recommended method — Use the exact cut-out
dimensions:
8.90 +0.00/-0.02 inches W x 7.10 +0.00/-0.02 inches D
(226 +0.0/-0.1 mm W x 180 +0.00/-0.1 mm D)
NOTE: The underlined dimension is the connector or
AAP access side for the unit.
Using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw
Acceptable method — Use the paper cut-out template
(available under the Downloads tab on the TLPPro 725C
product page at www.extron.com).
