The Extron Retractor Series 2 is an innovative cable management and retraction system designed for clean, professional, and reliable deployment of network cables in presentation and collaboration spaces. It addresses the common problem of loose, tangled, or unsightly Ethernet cables at table boxes, lecterns, and wall plates by providing an automatic, spring-loaded mechanism that retracts the cable into a concealed housing when not in use. This system is particularly valuable in environments like conference rooms, classrooms, and training facilities where a reliable network connection must be temporarily provided for a guest laptop or device but needs to be neatly stowed away afterward to maintain a tidy and safe workspace.

The system consists of a robust, low-profile housing that mounts flush within furniture or a wall, and a retractable CAT 5e/6/6A cable with a standard RJ45 connector on the free end. The user simply pulls the connector to the desired length, and the internal mechanism locks the cable in place, providing a secure and stable connection. When finished, a gentle tug releases the lock, and the high-quality spring mechanism smoothly and quietly retracts the cable back into the housing, eliminating the need for manual coiling. This not only improves aesthetics but also significantly reduces wear and tear on the cable and connector, extending the lifespan of the connectivity infrastructure.

Engineered for durability in high-use environments, the Retractor Series 2 features a heavy-duty spring and a ruggedized cable designed for tens of thousands of extension and retraction cycles. The housing is designed for easy integration by AV and IT installers, with options for various mounting orientations. By ensuring that a network drop is always accessible yet never in the way, this system enhances the user experience, promotes a professional room appearance, and reduces maintenance costs associated with damaged cables, making it an intelligent infrastructure solution for modern workspaces.
