Preparing the Table
Determine the Best Location for the Enclosure
• 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. Allow at least 36 inches of cable loop for each cable (see
Routing and Managing Cables on page8).
CAUTION: The anged edges of the top of the surface enclosure are sharp. These edges are also soft and may be easily
nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling the enclosure to prevent personal injury or damage to the enclosure.
ATTENTION : Les extrémités à brides du haut de la surface du boîtier sont aiguisées. Ces extrémités sont aussi lisses et
peuvent facilement être coupées ou pliées. Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez le boîtier an d’éviter de l’endommager
ou de vous blesser.

Installing the Modules into the Cable Cubby F55 Enclosure
The Cable Cubby F55 enclosure supports Flex55 and EU modules, which can be installed in a variety of combinations. These
modules can be installed either before or after the Cable Cubby F55 installation, in any slot of the enclosure. Determine where the
connectivity modules and power module will be installed in the enclosure.
NOTE: For a complete and up-to-date list of compatible modules, see the product page at www.extron.com.
Figure 3 shows the process for removing the supports in order to install a double-size module, such as the Flex55 AC+USB 130
US Power Module, into the Cable Cubby F55 enclosure. Half- and full-size modules can be snapped into the enclosure without
removing the supports (1).

• Choose a method for cutting the hole in the table.
3. Install the modules into the Cable Cubby F55 enclosure (see page 3).
• Check the modules for compatibility and installation requirements.
• Remove bridge supports if necessary to accommodate a double-sized module. Note that removal of bridge
supports is irreversible.
• Cable and install half-, single- and double-size modules into the Cable Cubby F55.
4. (Optional) Attach a ZipClip mounting device to the Cable Cubby F55 (see page 5).
• If using a ZipClip, determine which model to use (100, 200, or 400). Plan and ensure there is ample space for the device
and its cables.
• Attach the ZipClip to the Cable Cubby F55.
