Mounting the TLP 710CV and TLE 710
Step 1 — Obtain Cut-out Dimensions
ATTENTION:
• The table should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople.
• Make certain the correct cut-out dimensions are being used before proceeding to the next step. Extron is not
responsible for mounting holes that are incorrectly cut.
• The surfaces of the Cable Cubby enclosure have screws and other protruding hardware that could damage ne
furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected furniture.
• Ensure the table surface is at least 0.375 inches (0.95 cm) thick.
zIf using a hand router, you should purchase the Extron TLP 710CV routing template (part number 70-980-01).
zIf using a CNC wood router, use the exact cut-out dimensions (see below).
zIf using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw use the paper cut-out template (part number 68-2179-01 available under the Downloads
tab on the TLP 710CV page at www.extron.com.).
Step 2 — Cut the Surface
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury: To avoid eye injury, wear safety glasses when operating power equipment.
Be certain the cut is laid out in exactly the desired location and the edge that opens on the lid is correctly oriented. After verifying
and checking dimensions, cut a hole in the surface of the furniture where the enclosure will be installed (see “Preparing the Table”
in the TLP 710CV User Guide). There are three methods for cutting the hole in the table:
Using a hand router
Recommended method — Use the Extron TLP 710CV routing template, part
number 70-980-01. Refer to the Routing Template User Guide, available at
www.extron.com, to prepare the template and use the template to cut the
hole.
NOTE: The metal router guide must be purchased separately. It
is reusable and should not be discarded when the installation is
complete.
Using a CNC wood cutter
Recommended method — Use the exact cut-out dimensions:
8.90 +0.00/-0.02 inches W x 7.10 +0.00/-0.02 inches D
(22.61 +0.00/-0.05 cm W x 18.03 +0.00/-0.05 cm D)
NOTE: The underlined dimension is the connector or AAP access side
for the unit.
Using a reciprocating saw or jigsaw
Acceptable method — Use the paper cut-out template (part number 68-2179-01
available under the Downloads tab on the TLP 710CV page at www.extron.com.)

Step 3 — Run all Cables
Run all cables necessary to support the AC connector, the cables stored in the cubby, and all planned AAP connectors. Run the
cables below the table and through the hole that was cut in Step 2. Leave enough slack in the cables to connect or route them
before the cubby is installed in the table. Leave enough space under the enclosure for the external power supply and connection
of AV cables and the network connection for the TLP710CV.
Step 4 — Install Cable Retractors (Optional)
If required, Extron cable retractors should be installed in the
enclosure at this stage. For complete information about retractors
and how to install them, see the Retractors User Guide, which is
available from the Extron website (www.extron.com).
Step 5 — Install Power Module (Optional)
NOTE: For models that do not include a power module, see the
Extron website to select a power module that is suitable for
your location.
The power module takes up two or three AAP spaces, depending on
the model, and may be installed before or after the AAP assembly is
installed. It may be installed with AAPs on either side.
1. Secure the power module into position with #4-40 Phillips head
screws and star washers.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: To ensure good
electrical grounding, you must use the star washers with
the screws.
2. Run the cable or conduit to a convenient junction box.
Extron recommends the circuit be attached to a junction
box that is directly wired to the main circuit.
Step 6 — AAP Assembly
Install all desired cables into the cable pass-through AAPs and
install the AAPs into the Cable Cubby.
The simplest way to install the cables and AAPs is to populate
the AAP brackets outside the cubby and then install the
populated AAP shelf assembly into the cubby.
Install cables in the pass-through holes as shown in the gure
to the right.
TIP: Hand tightening the #4-40 nuts makes it easier
to place and secure the assembly inside the
enclosure.
NOTE: An extra column of AAP bracket mounting points is available for use with TLP Single-
space AAP mounting brackets (part number 70-693-01). Single-space brackets will not fit in
any other location.
Secure the power module
to the TLP 710CV frame
with #4-40 Phillips head
screws and star washers.

Step 7 — Install the AAP Assembly
1. From under the table, push the rst AAP assembly
through the bottom of the enclosure. The holes in the
rear bracket must align with the bottom row of holes on
the rear face of the enclosure.
TIP: Ensure there is enough space above the
AAP assembly for the lid to close completely
without cables or connectors contacting the
touchpanel.
2. Secure the AAP assembly into position with the
provided Phillips head screws.
3. Tighten the nuts that secure the AAPs to the brackets.
Step 8 — Mounting the Enclosure
Mount the Cable Cubby enclosure in the table.
CAUTION: The anged edges of the trim ring are sharp. Exercise caution when the cubby is not installed in a table to
prevent personal injury.
ATTENTION: The trim ring edges are soft and can easily be nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling and mounting
the enclosure.
1. Remove the edge grommet protecting the edges of the trim ring and the plastic lm on the nished surfaces.
ATTENTION: Do not use isopropyl alcohol or other solvents to clean the Cable Cubby. Strong solvents will ruin some
nishes.
2. Carefully lower the enclosure into the hole cut in the table (see
“Step2 — Cut the Surface” on page 2). Ensure the trimring(e) is
ush with the top of the table.
3. Under the table, attach the table clamps (c) to the pins on each side
of the enclosure. It may be necessary to loosen the wingnuts (a)
and the Phillips head screws (b).
4. When the clamps are properly seated on the pins, tighten the Phillips
head screws until the clamp faces (d) are tightly secured against the
bottom of the table.
5. To prevent the screws from becoming loose, secure the wingnuts
against the table clamp bodies.

Connecting the TLP 710CV
NOTE: The rest of this guide applies only to the TLP 710CV (not to the TLE 710).
The cable connections are located in a panel on the bottom of the TLP 710CV:
POWER
12V
1.0A MAX
LAN / PoE MTP
cb a
Step 9 — Connect the MTP Input
Connect the output of an Extron Mini Twisted Pair (MTP) transmitter to the MTP socket (a) on the TLP 710CV. This signal
provides composite or S-video and audio input.
ATTENTION: Ensure the MTP transmitter is connected to the MTP socket (a, in the gure above). Both the MTP
connector and the LAN and PoE connector use RJ-45 connectors, but the wires on each connector use different voltages.
Inputting the wrong voltages into a socket will damage the TLP710CV.
Step 10 — Connect the Network and Power Over Ethernet Connector
Extron strongly recommends using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply, although a 12 VDC, 1.0A power supply (not
provided) can be used instead (see below).
ATTENTION:
• Before connecting the PoE connector (b), read the cautions listed in the “Network and Power over Ethernet
Connector” section of the TLP710CV User Guide, which is available at www.extron.com.
• Ensure the network connector is connected to the network socket (b). Both the MTP connector and the LAN and PoE
connector use RJ-45 connectors, but the wires on each connector use different voltages. Inputting the wrong voltages
into a socket will damage the TLP710CV.
Connecting to the Network Directly (Using an external 12 VDC Power Supply)
If the PoE power supply is not used, run a straight-through cable from the LAN/PoE connection (b) to a network switch or router.
Connecting to a Power over Ethernet Power Supply
1. Use a straight-through LAN cable to connect the LAN-IN socket to a
network switch or router.
2. Use a second straight-through LAN cable to connect the PWR LAN-OUT
socket to the LAN/PoE connector (b) on the TLP 710CV. This cable carries
network information and 48 VDC.
3. Connect the IEC power cord from the power supply to a convenient
100VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source.
Step 11 — Connect the External Power Supply (Optional)
CAUTION: Before connecting the power supply, read the cautions listed in the “Power Connector” section of the
TLP 710CV User Guide, which is available at www.extron.com.
Extron strongly recommends using PoE to provide power to the TLP 710CV. To use a 12 VDC, 1.0A
power supply (not provided), connect the two pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector from the power
supply (partnumber70-775-01) to the power supply socket on the rear panel (c).
NOTE: For advice about using captive screw connections, see the notes in the “Power
Connector” section of the TLP 710CV User Guide, which is available at www.extron.com.
