Extron Retractor XL VGA (part number 70-1066-01) — the long-travel analog video retractor from the Retractor Series XL family, now retired by Extron.

Where a standard Retractor stops at three feet, the XL housing stores enough cable for a 5 foot (152 cm) pull. That difference decides whether a presenter at the far side of a wide table can reach the connector at all. The module holds one continuous 15-pin HD run; the cable stops wherever the user releases it and returns into the enclosure only when the release button is held, at a speed the installer has tuned during commissioning.

Key Capabilities

• Analog VGA cable extends up to 5 feet (152 cm) from the enclosure face.
• Male 15-pin HD terminations at both ends, with no in-line couplers.
• More than 50 speed-control steps spanning 1.5 to 4.0 seconds govern the return.
• 4 foot (1.2 m) pigtail underneath connects to a switcher, scaler or wallplate input.
• Mechanism tested beyond 7,500 extension and retraction cycles.
• Three-year parts and labor warranty covering the preinstalled cable assembly.

Where It Is Used

Wide boardroom and council tables, tiered lecture halls, laboratory benches with analog instrument outputs, and legacy training rooms being kept in service. Because Extron has retired this part number, it is most often bought as a like-for-like replacement for an existing XL installation rather than for a new build.
