Extron CTR 8 Cable Trough

The Extron CTR 8 Cable Trough is a professional-grade, 8-foot-long cable management channel designed to organize and conceal power, AV, data, and control cables beneath conference tables, credenzas, or other large furniture surfaces. It provides a clean, structured pathway that keeps cables off the floor, prevents tangling, and maintains a polished appearance in presentation and collaboration spaces.

This trough addresses common challenges in multi-user environments where exposed cables create trip hazards, visual clutter, or maintenance difficulties. The wide, open-top design allows easy insertion and removal of cables during setup changes, while the low-profile form factor minimizes interference with legroom or chair placement under the table.

Constructed from durable, lightweight aluminum with a black powder coat finish, the CTR 8 combines strength with an attractive, low-visibility appearance that blends discreetly beneath dark or modern furniture. The material resists corrosion and withstands daily use in high-traffic corporate, educational, and commercial settings.

Primary applications include large conference tables, executive boardroom furniture, training room credenzas, and multipurpose presentation surfaces where multiple devices (laptops, microphones, control panels, power supplies) require organized cable routing from table edge to floor or wall outlets. It is especially effective in boardrooms, classrooms, and collaboration spaces needing a scalable, non-permanent cable management solution.

Compatibility covers standard AV, power, network, and control cables commonly used in professional installations. The trough integrates seamlessly with Extron Cable Cubby enclosures, Retractor cable retraction systems, under-table mounts (e.g., CONN Bracket, UTM 100 Series), and surface mount boxes, allowing complete cable pathways from user access points to floor boxes or wall terminations.

Installation is straightforward and furniture-friendly: position the trough beneath the table along the desired cable route, secure it to the underside using the included mounting clips and screws (or optional adhesive pads for temporary setups), and route cables through the open channel. The design supports easy cable additions or changes without disassembling the trough, and the aluminum construction allows minor bending to follow curved table edges if needed.
