Cable Cubby 200 Features
AC Power Options Including Universal
Compatibility
Easy Access to Cables and AAPs
The Cable Cubby offers an easy way to access
cables and connection points from a convenient,
compact location. The enclosure is flush mountable
into most tables and flat surfaces, storing the AAPs
and cables out of the way and out of sight when not
in use.
The available universal AC outlet is fully compatible
with various plug types. See the Universal AC
Outlet Compatibility Guide on the Extron website,
www.extron.com/UACguide for compatibility
details on all plug types.
Optional Retractor
Customizable AAP Enclosure
The optional Retractor cable retraction system
automatically retracts cables into the enclosure and
supports most AV and data signal types.
The AAP spaces inside the Cable Cubby allow you
to customize the enclosure to meet your needs. The
included (split) double space AAPs can store almost
any type of cable you might encounter, while the
Extron passive AAPs allow for almost any kind of
pass-through connectivity you may need.
UL Listed and CE Compliance
Pass-through AAPs can be replaced with passive
AAPs for fully customized and easily upgraded units.

Planning
Determine the best location for the enclosure. Before making any cuts:
•
Ensure that the location where the Cable Cubby is to be installed is convenient for as
many users as possible.
•
•
•
Ensure that the edge on which the lid opens is oriented correctly.
Ensure that there is ample space under the table for cables.
Ensure that the correct template or dimensions are used.
NOTE: The table to host the Cable Cubby 200 must have a thickness of at least 3/8
inch (9.5 mm) to ensure that there is enough table material for the mounting
screws to securely fasten the Cable Cubby to the table.
Decide on the method for cutting the hole in the table.
•
•
•
Hand router and template (recommended)
CNC wood router
Jigsaw and paper template
Before starting the installation, check with local and state regulations.
•
•
Ensure that the planned installation complies with building and electrical codes.
Ensure that the planned installation complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act or
other accessibility requirements.

Installation Overview
Install and set up the Cable Cubby enclosure as follows:
If you have an unprepared mounting template, prepare the template (see “Prepare the
2. Run all cables necessary to support the AC connector, the cables stored in the Cubby,
and all planned AAP connectors. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect or route
them before the cubby is installed in the table.
3. Install all desired cables into the cable pass-through (split) AAPs and install the AAPs
4. If applicable, connect cables to the rear connectors on the passive AAPs and install the
on page 9).
6. Peel the protective film from the top surface.
7. Connect the Cable Cubby power cord.

Preparing the Table
Extron recommends cutting the hole in the table with the Extron metal routing template (see
NOTE: The hole can be also cut with a CNC wood router or a paper cut-out template
recommended.
ATTENTION: Potential damage to property.
• Exercise care to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.
• The opening in the table should be cut only by licensed and bonded
craftspeople.
• The routing templates for various Cable Cubby models are not
interchangeable. Using the wrong template will produce an improper fit.
1. Prepare the Routing Template
NOTE: Save and reuse the metal routing
template for installing additional Cable
Cubby 200 models.

Lumber
a. Cut 1/2 inch x 4 inch strips of soft, finished
lumber to a length that is long enough to span
the edges of the mounting surface.

b. Place the template over the strips so that the
opening reaches the desired mounting location
and the strips span the surface.

Width of Mounting Surface
c. Using at least four mounting screws, secure the
mounting template to the lumber so that the
cut-out coincides with the desired orientation of
the enclosure.
ATTENTION: Potential damage to
property. Protruding screws
will scratch the table.

e. Remove the C-clamps and the routing template
assembly.
Installing and Cabling AAPs
The Cable Cubby 200 has a fixed AAP shelf. Three half-moon cutouts in the set of cable
pass-through (split) AAPs loosely channel three cables in the Cable Cubby. Each channel
and each associated split grommet is a different size. Match the diameter of the cable to the
size of the channel. For Cable Retractor installation details, refer to the Cable Retractor User
Large Medium Small
1. Plan for AAPs
TIP: Typical installations consist of a VGA (large
hole), an audio (small hole), and a network
(medium hole) cable. In a
non-standard installation, match the
diameter of the cable to the size of the
hole that best applies.

3. Install Any Necessary Split Grommets and
Hole Plugs
a. Slip the appropriate split grommet over each
cable with the flange of the grommet toward
the connector that will be accessible inside
the Cable Cubby. Snap the grommets into the
channels.
b. If necessary, snap the included hole plugs into
unused holes.
4. Adjust the Cable Position
The Cable Cubby 200 has four cable stand-offs that
set the height of the cables inside the enclosure.
a. Choose the row that best lifts the cable
connectors off the cable pass-through AAP and
still allows the lid to be closed.
Ü
Cable Stand-off
b. Insert the stand-off into the Cable Cubby and
align the ends with opposing horizontal slots in
the side of the enclosure.
c. Loosely install the Phillips head screws and
washers so the stand-offs remain attached, but
can be easily adjusted within the slots.
d. Install a second stand-off next to the first
stand-off, in accordance with steps 4a, 4b, and
4c.
á
e. Slide the stand-offs back and forth in the
horizontal slots to position them so that the
cables easily rise and lower but do not fall
below the stand-offs.
f. Tighten the Phillips head screws of the
stand-offs to lock them into position.
g. Repeat steps 4a through 4f until all the cable
connectors have been accompanied with
stand-offs.
5. Install Optional Passive AAPs
The pass-through AAPs can be replaced with
Extron passive AAPs.
a. Unscrew the nuts on the underside of the shelf
that fasten the set of pass-through AAPs to the
enclosure.
b. Connect cables to the rear of the AAPs to be
installed before attaching it to the enclosure.
c. Insert the screws of the AAPs through the holes
in the shelf. Secure the AAPs to the shelf with
the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts.

Mounting the Cable Cubby
ATTENTION: Potential damage to property. The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure are
sharp and soft, making them easy to nick or bend. Handle the enclosure with care to prevent
personal injury and to avoid damaging the enclosure.
1. Test the Fit
a. Remove the plastic strips on finished surfaces
of the Cable Cubby.
ATTENTION: Potential damage to
property. Do no use
isopropyl alcohol or other
solvents to clean the Cable
Cubby. Strong solvents will
ruin some finishes.
b. Carefully lower the Cable Cubby into the hole to
test the fit. If necessary, remove the enclosure
and carefully enlarge the opening.
2. Fasten the Cable Cubby to the Table
a. Drill 1/8 inch (3 mm) pilot holes 1/2 inch
(12 mm) deep into the table using the mounting
holes at each of the four corners of the unit.
b. Use the four included 6-32 x 1/2 inch screws to
fasten the Cable Cubby to the table.
3. Dress the Cables
a. Under the table, dress the cables to prevent
snags or tangles. Allow at least 36 inches
(0.9 m) of cable loop for each cable and secure
the cables behind the flange on the underside
of the unit.
b. Connect cables to the AV system and connect
the AC power cord.
NOTE: The Extron Cable Retractor provides
a convenient way to dress cables (see
www.extron.com for Cable Retractor
part numbers).
