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, 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.
3 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.
4 If applicable, install the power module. If your location
requires electrical conduit, install an Extron fl exible
conduit kit. Refer to the Flexible Conduit Kit Installation
Guide, Extron part #68-734-01.
5 Install all desired cables into the cable pass-through (split)
AAPs and install the AAPs into the Cable Cubby. See
Installing the Cables and AAPs, later in this chapter.
6 If applicable, connect cables to the rear connectors on
the passive AAPs and install the AAPs in the cubby. See
Installing the AAPs, later in this chapter.
7 Mount the Cable Cubby in the table. See Mounting the
Cable Cubby, later in this chapter.
8 Peel the protective fi lm from the top surface.
9 Connect the Cable Cubby power cord.
Preparing the Routing Template
Extron provides metal templates for the Cable Cubbies at no
charge. See Routing Template Part Numbers, in appendix A,
Reference Information, for part numbers. Extron recommends
using this template as a guide to cut the hole in the table where
the cubby will be installed.
N The metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard
this template when the installation is complete. Save it
for installing Cable Cubby models of the same size.
1 . Cut 1/2" x 4" strips of soft, fi nished lumber at least
long enough to span the distance between the desired
installation location on the mounting surface and the edges
of the mounting surface (fi gure 2-1).
These strips raise the routing template above the mounting
surface to provide room for the router’s collar, protect the
mounting surface, and extend the routing template’s reach
so that it can be clamped to the edge of the surface.
C Do not allow the wood screws to protrude through
the bottom of the wooden strips. Protruding screws
will mar the table when the template is used.
