Extron Retractor Series

Next Generation Cable Retraction Modules with Speed Control

Cable management is a critical consideration for any AV presentation environment. Loose cables strewn over a table top may be acceptable in rental/staging or similar temporary applications, for example, but not in a boardroom or conference room, or classroom or training facility, where presentations occur regularly. The Extron Retractor is a patented, variable speed cable retraction management system designed to work with AVEdge 100 Edge Mount, Cable Cubby^®, and TouchLink Cable Cubby cable access enclosures. Alternately, Retractor modules can be mounted below the furniture surface with the TMK 120 R Table Mount Kit, ideal for applications in which the furniture cannot be cut to accept a Cable Cubby enclosure. Retractor modules are available to support most AV and data signal types, including HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, Network, PC Audio, and USB. Refer to the DC Retractor compatibility guide for a list of compatible laptops. Cables extend up to five feet (152 cm) and are held securely in place at the desired length. The cables retract at the press of a button, with integrator-adjustable retraction speed control for smooth operation in a horizontal and vertical mounting orientations.
