About this User Guide

This guide provides instructions and information for an experienced technician to install, adjust, and operate the Extron Retractor SM "Show Me" Cable Retraction Modules for HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA in an Extron TeamWork Collaboration System and in compatible Cable Cubby Series/2 enclosures.

In this guide, the terms "system", and "retraction system" are used to refer to the TeamWork "Show Me" Cable Retraction Modules for HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA in a TeamWork enclosure. The term "retractor", "retractor module", and "module" refer to an individual retractor in the system. Where differences in preparation, installation, operation, or maintenance occur, they are called out.

About the Retractor SM Module

The TeamWork "Show Me" Cable Retraction Module is a cable retracting device installed into, but not limited to, Extron Electronics TeamWork "Show Me" systems. The cable retraction system can be mounted into all current TeamWork enclosures.

The module allows extended cables to be retracted back into the enclosure for storage without force or gravity. It also prevents cables from tangling underneath the table as commonly seen with traditional gravity-fed systems. The retractor is a compact multi-pulley assembly that provides a smooth consistent return motion with the push of a button.

Each retractor comes pre-loaded with Extron tested and approved cable, optimized for the specific cable diameter and flexibility. The Retractor SM allows up to three feet of cable to be extended from the top of the enclosure and provides up to six feet of pigtail for connection of devices under the table.

Getting Started

In this section the following topics are covered:

  • Planning
    • Determine Under-table Clearances
    • Prepare the Retractors

Planning

Retractor SM modules can be mounted in a horizontal, vertical, or angular orientation depending upon under-table clearance and accessibility.

Horizontal mounting is recommended to provide maximum legroom and to protect the Retractors against accidental damage.

Vertical mounting is used where insufficient under-table space exists for horizontal mounting or where under-table access is limited.

Angular mounting is used where insufficient under-table space exists for horizontal mounting and tabletop to floor clearance prevents vertical mounting. The enclosure has additional mounting holes that enable mounting at a fixed angle between vertical and horizontal.

  • For horizontal mounting, a Retractor SM Horizontal Bracket Kit is required.
  • A Retractor SM Filler Module is required to occupy unused Retractor space.
  • For Cable Cubby 1200 and Cable Cubby 1400 enclosures, a Retractor SM Cable Cubby Mount - Triple or Retractor SM Cable Cubby Mount - Quad kit is required.
  • For Cable Cubby 500 and Cable Cubby 700 enclosures, a Retractor SM Mount - Triple kit is required.

Mounting kits, the bracket kit, the filler module, and accessories are available at www.extron.com (see Optional Accessories on page 21).

For new installations, to determine the best location for the enclosure, keep in mind the under-table space required for the retraction system. See the enclosure installation guide to mount the enclosure.

NOTE: Before starting an installation, determine if additional hardware is needed.

Determine Under-table Clearances

Follow the installation instructions provided in your TeamWork and Cable Cubby Series/2 enclosure user guide to determine a suitable mounting location.

The diagrams that follow show the space required for a Retractor SM module installation in a compatible enclosure.

NOTES:

  • To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, ensure the exposed cable clears nearby obstructions.
  • Excess cabling may cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under-table cabling to prevent accidental contact or entanglement with users.

The Retractor SM module is mounted from below the enclosure.

Horizontal Mounting: Be certain the Horizontal Mounting Bracket can be fastened under the table or on a table support without bending the pulley system or forcing it from perpendicular with the enclosure.

Horizontal Bracket 90° Top View

Figure 1. Retractor SM Module, Horizontal Mounting

Vertical Mounting: Ensure the Retractor SM modules hang freely without touching the floor and are not obstructed by anything under the table. The standard system requires approximately 28 inches (70 cm) from the top of the furniture to clear the floor.

Angular Mounting: Angular mounting is necessary where the enclosure size and installation location makes the Retractor SM modules too long for vertical mounting and there is not adequate under-table clearance for horizontal mounting. An additional mounting hole allows installation at an angle providing extra floor clearance (see the mounting diagrams on the next pages).
