Introduction About the Cable Cubby® Products The Extron Cable Cubbies are furniture-mounted, architectural solutions for inconspicuous cable access and connection points. When cables are not in use, they can be stored out of the way while remaining connected to the presentation system. Most US/domestic Cable Cubby models provide two unswitched USA AC power outlets. The US/domestic Cable Cubby 200 provides one outlet.
Introduction, cont’d The installed Cable Cubbies fit nearly flush within a table or podium top, storing the AAPs and cables out of the way and out of sight. To access the AAPs and connectors, lift the lid (figure 1-2). Half-moon cutouts in the lid allow you to run cables in or out and then close the lid. For Cable Cubby 300s, 600s, and 800s, you can lower the lid into its recessed position.

Installation Installation Overview Preparing the Routing Template Install and set up the Cable Cubby enclosures as follows: 1 If you plan to use a mounting template that has not been prepared, prepare the template. See Preparing the Routing Template, later in this chapter. 2 Cut a hole in the surface where the enclosure will be installed. See Preparing the Table, later in this chapter.
Installation, cont’d Preparing the Table The preferred and recommended method for preparing the table for square Cable Cubbies and one of two preferred methods for the Cable Cubby 300C is to use the appropriate Extron routing template and a router. W 4. For the Cable Cubby 300C, another preferred method is to use a 6" hole saw. Wear safety glasses when operating the router. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.
Installation, cont’d Preparing the table with a hole saw (Cable Cubby 300C only) Prepare the table with a hole saw as follows: 1. On the tabletop or other installation surface, mark the 6" circle, then find and mark the center of the circle. W 2. Wear safety glasses when operating the drill. Failure to comply can result in eye injury. Using a portable drill with a 6" (or 152 mm) hole saw, carefully cut the opening in the table surface at the desired location (figure 2-3).
Installation, cont’d Installing the power module (CC 300, 600, 800) From the underside of the Cable Cubby, gently push the power module into the desired position at the desired elevation. Secure the power module into position with four Phillips head screws. Installing the cables Install cables in the channels as follows: 1.
Installation, cont’d 3. Install a second stand-off, in accordance with steps 1 and 2. From the underside of the Cable Cubby, gently push the AAP shelf assembly into the desired position at the desired elevation. Ensure there is enough space above the AAP assembly for the Cable Cubby lid to close completely. Secure the AAP shelf assembly into position with four Phillips head screws. 4.
Installation, cont’d 3. Carefully lower the Cable Cubby into the hole to test the fit. If necessary, remove the enclosure and use a file or rasp to enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening (figure 2-7). 8. Cable Cubby 200 — Use the four included 6-32 x 1/2" screws to fasten the Cable Cubby 200 to the table (figure 2-8).

Maintenance and Modifications The Cable Cubby can be modified in the future to change cables, to replace an AAP, or to add a second power module. These modification may require removing the cubby from the table. Removing and Replacing the Cable Cubby You may need to remove the cubby from the table in which it is mounted to replace cables or AAPs, to adjust the height of the AAP assemblies, or to install a second power module.
Maintenance and Modifications, cont’d 4. Cable Cubby 200 — Remove the screws at the four corners that secure the cubby to the table (figure 3-2). 10. Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 — Snugly tighten the Phillips head screws on the screw clamps to secure the enclosure to the surface. 11. Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 — Tighten the locking thumbscrews on the screw clamps to lock the clamp in position. 12.
Maintenance and Modifications, cont’d Figure 3-4 shows typical configurations before and after you add a second power module to an international Cable Cubby 800. Adding an Additional Power Module (CC 600 and CC 800) Each additional power module occupies two (USA/domestic models) or three (international models) of the cubby’s AAP spaces, reducing the amount of AAP space available in the cubby for cable pass through (split) or passive AAPs.
Maintenance and Modifications, cont’d Cable Cubby 600 and 800 US/Domestic models — You probably do need replacement shelf brackets when you add a US/Domestic power module to a US/Domestic Cable Cubby, because the power module takes up two spaces in a cubby that, in its standard configuration, is equipped with three-space (Cable Cubby 600) or four-space (Cable Cubby 800) shelves.
Maintenance and Modifications, cont’d 4 From the underside of the Cable Cubby, gently push the additional power module into the desired position at the desired elevation. Secure the power module into position with the included four Phillips head screws (figure 3-7).

Packaging for Shipment The Cable Cubby’s ultra-fine machined surfaces and moving parts make them vulnerable to damage caused by mishandling during shipment if they are improperly packaged. If, for any reason, you need to return a Cable Cubby to Extron, first contact Extron to obtain a return kit. The return kit, which reduces the chances of damage during shipment, includes a sturdy shipping carton and foam that can be fitted to each Cable Cubby model (figure B-1). 2.
