Introduction This section covers the following topics: • About the Cable Cubby® 300, 600, and 800 • Features About the Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 Extron Cable Cubby products are furniture-mounted, architectural solutions that provide 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.
Figure 1. Cable Cubby 300S US/domestic Enclosure The AAP spaces inside the Cable Cubby allow you to customize the enclosure to meet your unique needs. The split AAPs (included) can store almost any type of cable you might encounter. The Extron line of passive AAPs allows you to customize the AAP with almost any kind of pass-through connectivity you may need.

Installation This section covers the following topics: • Installation Overview • Preparing the Routing Template • Preparing the Table • Installing the Cables and AAPs • Mounting the Cable Cubby Installation Overview 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” below). 2.
These strips raise the routing template above the mounting surface to provide room for the collar of the router, protect the mounting surface, and extend the reach of the routing template so that it can be clamped to the edge of the surface. 1/2” x 4” Soft, Finished Lumber HSA 200 CABLE CUBBY 300 HSA 200 USER ACCESS 4 Screws Min.

Preparing the Table with a Router Prepare the table with a router as follows: ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. The routing templates for the various Cable Cubby models are not interchangeable. If you use the wrong template, you will cut an improperly sized hole. If you use a larger template than required, the cut will result in gaps in the table surface on either side of the enclosure. ATTENTION: Potential damage to property.
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 inch circle, then find and mark the center of the circle. CAUTION: Risk of injury to the eyes. Wear safety glasses when operating the drill. Failure to comply can result in eye injury. 2. Using a portable drill with a 6-inch (or 152 mm) hole saw, carefully cut the opening in the table surface at the desired location (see figure 6).
The simplest way to install the cables and AAPs in the Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 is to populate the shelf brackets with split or standard AAPs outside the cubby and then install the populated AAP shelf assembly into the cubby. NOTE: On US/domestic models, the power module takes up two AAP spaces. Cable pass-through AAPs take two, three, or four AAP spaces.Consider the arrangement of the Cable Cubby AAPs when you install them so that you do not waste AAP space.
Installing the Cables Three half-moon cutouts in each set of cable pass-through (split) AAPs loosely channel three cables in the Cable Cubby. Each channel is padded with a split grommet to prevent cable wear. Each channel and each associated split grommet is a different size (see figure 9). Large Small Small Medium Medium Medium Small Large Cable Hole Large Medium Small Figure 9. Large Hole Size 0.625" (1.59 cm) 0.562" (1.43 cm) 0.5" (1.27 cm) Grommet Size 0.453" (1.15 cm) 0.390" (0.99 cm) 0.
Installing the AAPs The split AAPs can be replaced with passive Extron AAPs. Replace a set of split AAPs as follows: 1. Remove the set of split AAPs to be replaced by unscrewing the nuts on the underside of the shelf bracket that fasten the plates to the bracket (see figure 7, on page 7). 2. Cable the AAP(s) before attaching the AAPs to the enclosure. 3. Insert the screws of the AAPs through the holes in the shelf or shelf bracket.

ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. Do not overtighten the Phillips head screws on the screw clamps.
Maintenance and Modifications This section covers the following topics: • Removing and Replacing the Cable Cubby • Replacing Cables or an AAP • Adding an Additional Power Module (CC 600, CC 800) The Cable Cubby can be modified after installation to change cables, to replace an AAP, or to add a second power module. These modifications may require removing the cubby from the table.

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure are sharp. Exercise caution when the cubby is not installed in a table to prevent personal injury. ATTENTION: Potential Damage to Property.
ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. Do not overtighten the Phillips head screws on the screw clamps. Overtightening can bend the horizontal flange of the screw clamp. 10. Snugly tighten the Phillips head screws on the screw clamps to secure the enclosure to the surface. 11. Tighten the locking thumbscrews on the screw clamps to lock the clamp in position.

2. If the Phillips head screws on the front and rear of the cubby are blocked by the table, remove the cubby from the table (see “Removing and Replacing the Cable Cubby,” steps 1 through 4, on page 12). 3. Before you add an additional power module, you must make room for the Cable Cubby by eliminating two or three AAP spaces and the AAP shelf brackets that support them.
