Extron Retractor SM is a compact, motorized cable retraction system designed for seamless AV connectivity in architectural installations. It features a single motorized reel that automatically retracts HDMI, VGA, or other AV cables into a discreet enclosure when not in use, providing a clean, clutter-free presentation surface. The low-profile design and quiet operation make it ideal for integration into tables, lecterns, and podiums, with a durable metal housing for long-term reliability.
This retraction system suits conference rooms, classrooms, boardrooms, and huddle spaces where quick, professional cable access is needed without permanent exposure. It supports easy one-touch retraction via a push-button or integration with AV control systems, keeping cables organized and protected. Compatible with Extron mounting solutions and various cable types, it enhances room aesthetics and user convenience in modern AV environments.
