Extron Retractor XL Network (part number 70-1066-03) — an extended-travel shielded CAT 6 retractor for tables where three feet of cable simply does not reach.

The XL chassis is taller than the standard Retractor housing, which lets it store enough shielded CAT 6 for a 5 foot (152 cm) pull above the work surface. That extra reach matters on wide boardroom tables, on tiered classroom benches and wherever the enclosure sits at one end of a long desk. The RJ-45 connector stops and holds wherever the user lets go; the release button returns it under governed tension instead of a spring snap.

Key Capabilities

• Shielded CAT 6 network cable extends up to 5 feet (152 cm) from the enclosure face.
• Male shielded RJ-45 terminations at both ends of the continuous run.
• Retraction timing is adjustable across more than 50 steps between 1.5 and 4.0 seconds.
• 4 foot (1.2 m) pigtail beneath the surface lands directly on a switch, patch panel or floor box.
• Life expectancy tested beyond 7,500 extension and retraction cycles.
• Three-year parts and labor warranty that includes the preinstalled cable assembly.

Where It Is Used

Large conference and council tables, divisible training suites, courtroom counsel and clerk positions, broadcast and network operations desks, and clinical review workstations that must stay on a wired segment. Vertical installation wants roughly 30 inches (76.2 cm) of clearance under the furniture; horizontal and angular mounting are alternatives where headroom is short.
