FT2-500-ELEC-PTL-B

The Crestron® FT2‑500‑ELEC‑PTL FlipTop™ cable management system installs into a table or other horizontal surface to provide modular connectivity. It features a retracting lid that disappears within the enclosure. When the lid is retracted, eight module slots are arranged in two rows of four. The flexible modular design may also be customized with an assortment of Crestron accessories, and the pass-through lid style allows cables to be fully extended while the lid is closed.

The precision fit design affords a clean appearance with machined metal surfaces finished in a choice of black or alloy. Modular accessories enable custom configuration and quick installation. All connections reside at the top surface, clearly visible and readily accessible. A built-in electrical power bus enables compatibility with one-touch cable retractors, active connector plates, and USB rapid charging modules. It also enables backlighting of all symbol icons on the modules.1, 4

Quick and Simple Tabletop Installation

Mounting the FlipTop is as simple as cutting the hole, placing the unit, and turning four screws to engage the swiveling dogs that secure the FlipTop in place. Drop-in modules and under table accessories can then be installed. To complete the installation, the top cover bezel snaps into place magnetically.

NOTE: See also the FT2‑500‑MECH‑PTL FlipTop system for a lower-cost alternative with reduced features and options.

Modular Design

The FT2‑500‑ELEC‑PTL delivers a customizable connectivity solution with easy-to-install accessories such as pull out cables, flush mount connectors, and AC power outlets. The final installation provides one smooth, contiguous surface with no visible gaps or screws, and the modules may be rearranged at any time.

Modules and Accessories

NOTE: All modules and accessories are sold separately and are not included in the FT2‑500‑ELEC‑PTL.

Pass-Through Cables and Cable Pass -Through Plates: Together, the pass-through cables and plates ensure a FT2A‑CBL‑PT cable pulls out smoothly for use and drops back into the enclosure. For details, refer to the FT2A‑CBL‑PT and FT2A‑PLT‑PT‑10 product pages.

One-Touch Cable Retractors: At the touch of a button, cables retract and the cable loop is carefully contained beneath the table. For details, refer to the FT2A‑CBLR‑1T product page.1, 2

Gravity Cable Retractors: Gravity cable retractors employ a gravity-assisted track and pulley mechanism housed within a narrow, vertical enclosure that extends beneath the FlipTop chassis. For details, refer to the FT2A‑CBLR‑GR product page.1, 2

Connector Plates: Connector plate modules provide a selection of panel mounted connectors, which allow the connection of devices using separate, detached interface cables (not included). For details, refer to the FT2A‑CP product pages.

Keystone Plates: Keystone plate modules allow the installation of any flush mountable keystone compliant connector. For details, refer to the FT2A‑PLT‑KEY‑10.3
