Cable Cubby 300/600/800 • Installation 9
Installing the Cables
Three half-moon cutouts in each set of cable pass-through (split) AAPs loosely channel
three cables in the Cable Cubby. Each channel is padded with a split grommet to prevent
cable wear. Each channel and each associated split grommet is a different size
(see figure 9).

Figure 9. Cable Pass-through AAPs
A typical installation consists of a VGA cable, an audio cable, and a network cable. In a
typical installation, the VGA cable runs in the largest channel, the network cable runs in the
middle (medium) channel, and the audio cable runs in the smaller channel. In a
non-standard installation, match the diameter of the cable to the size of the channel as best
you can.
Install cables in the channels as follows:
1. Remove a segment of a set of split AAPs by unscrewing the nuts on the underside of
the bracket that fastens the plate to the shelf bracket (see figure 7, on page 7).
2. Rest the cables in the half-moon cutouts of the split AAP segment still mounted on the
shelf brackets. Place the cables so that the connectors protrude from the front of the
split AAP segment.
3. Insert the screws of the split AAP segment that you removed in step 1 through the holes
in the shelf bracket. Ensure that the cables are free in the channels that the two split
AAP segments form without being pinched where the two segments meet.
4. Secure the split AAP segment to the shelf brackets with the provided captive washers
and #4-40 nuts.
5. Slip the appropriate size split grommet over each
cable with the flange of the grommet toward the
connector that will be accessible inside the Cable
Cubby. Snap the grommets into the channels.
6. If applicable, snap the included hole plugs into unused
channels in place of the split grommets.
