Planning

The Retractor modules can be mounted in horizontal, vertical, or angular orientation depending on under‑table clearance and
accessibility.
• Horizontal mounting is recommended to provide maximum legroom and to protect the modules against accidental damage.
• Vertical mounting is used where insufficient under‑table space exists for horizontal mounting or 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.
NOTES:
• For horizontal mounting, a mounting bracket kit is required.
• Filler modules are required to occupy unused Retractor space.
• For Retractor Series/2 DC modules, refer to the website for laptop compatibility. Always use a power supply
recommended by the laptop manufacturer.
Mounting kits, filler modules, and accessories are available at www.extron.com.
For new installations, to determine the best location for the enclosure, keep in mind the under‑table space required for the
retraction system. Refer to the enclosure installation guide to mount the enclosure.
NOTE:
When connectivity brackets, AAP plates, and AAP modules are relocated or removed to provide space for the
retraction system, associated hardware can require reconfiguration or replacement. Before starting an installation,
determine if additional hardware is needed.

Determine Under-Table Clearances

Follow the Retractor installation instructions provided in your enclosure user guide to determine a suitable mounting location.
The diagrams on the following page show the space required for a retraction system installation in a compatible enclosure.
NOTES:
• To prevent objects from impeding cable retraction, ensure the exposed cable clears nearby obstructions.
• Excess cabling can cause clearance issues. Use zip ties to secure under‑table cabling to prevent accidental contact or
entanglement with users.
