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.

For the Cable Cubby 300C, another preferred method is to use a 6" hole saw.

Alternatively, for any model, you can use a paper cut-out template (see appendix A) and a sabre saw or keyhole saw, but this method is not recommended.

CThe opening in the table for the Cable Cubby should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople. Exercise care to prevent scarring or damaging the furniture.

The surfaces of the Cable Cubby enclosure have screws and other protruding hardware that could damage fine furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected furniture.

Preparing the table with a router

Prepare the table with a router as follows:

CThe routing templates for the various Cable Cubbies 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.

CEnsure that only the wooden strips on the routing template contact the furniture. Failure to do so may mar the furniture.

NThe metal routing template is reusable. Do not discard the template when the installation is complete. Save it for installing other Cable Cubbies of the same size.

1.	Locate the desired mounting location on the tabletop or
	other installation surface. Mark the location.
2.	Place the mounting template assembly on the table,
	centered on the mounting location. Angle the template
	for the optimum positioning. If necessary, use a square to
	ensure that the template is properly positioned. Extron is
	not responsible for improperly positioned Cable Cubbies.
3.	Once the template assembly is positioned properly, secure
	the assembly to the table with C-clamps.

WWear safety glasses when operating the router. Failure to comply can result in eye injury.

4.	Using a router with a 5/8" (or 16 mm) outside diameter
	guide bushing and a 1/2" (or 12 mm or 12.7 mm) diameter
	straight router bit, carefully cut the opening in the surface
	(figure 2-2).
