Multimedia Cart Accessory Ergotron 97-862

The Ergotron 97-862 multimedia cart accessory is a storage drawer designed to mount beneath a cart’s primary or supplemental drawer to add extra storage capacity. The single-drawer version provides one large compartment in a grey-and-white finish, intended to organize multimedia equipment and small accessories while keeping them accessible.

Advantages

This storage drawer increases the usable storage of a multimedia or medical cart without changing the cart’s footprint. Its single large compartment is suitable for storing cables, adapters, small peripherals and documents. The drawer is manually operated with a key-lock mechanism for basic security, and its compact dimensions help maintain tidy organization in educational and professional environments.

Suitable for

• Schools and classrooms for storing AV accessories and teaching materials
• Offices and meeting rooms to hold cables, remotes and small devices
• Healthcare and clinical settings for keeping small supplies organized
• Workshops and studios for tools, adapters and compact equipment

When it may not be suitable

The drawer is manual and lock-only; it does not provide electronic locking or automated opening. It may not be suitable when multiple locked compartments or advanced access control are required. Also, if a cart configuration includes three or more drawer rows, a separate drawer travel-stop accessory is recommended to ensure safe operation.

Key specifications

• Overall footprint for package: width 457 mm, depth 457 mm, height 165 mm
• Single large drawer compartment
• Color: grey and white
• Weight capacity: nominal product weight approximately 4 kg (packaged weight reference)
• Operation: manual with key-lock mechanism

How to use

Mount the storage drawer under the cart’s primary or supplemental drawer following the cart manufacturer’s installation instructions. Use the key to lock or unlock the drawer as needed to restrict access. Store cables, adapters, peripherals and documents in the single compartment, arranging items to avoid overloading and to keep heavier items near the back for stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your multimedia cart model and available mounting space beneath an existing drawer
• Decide whether a single large compartment meets your organization needs or if multiple smaller drawers are preferable
• For carts with three, four or five drawer rows, plan to order a separate Drawer Travel-Stop accessory

Recommendations

Use the drawer for lightweight accessories and keep heavier items distributed toward the back; if the cart has multiple drawer rows, install a travel-stop accessory to prevent drawer movement issues.
