Crestron FlipTop FT2-1200-MECH Quick Start Manual

FT2-1200-MECH
FlipTop™ Cable Management System FT2 Series, 1200 Size, Mechanical
The Crestron® FT2-1200-MECH FlipTop™ cable management system
device, for simplicity within this document called the FlipTop assembly,
installs into a table or other horizontal surface to provide modular
tabletop connectivity for users. The one-touch lid on the unit conceals
nine module slots arranged in a single row.
The FlipTop assembly includes six pass-through cable modules
and three blank plate modules. Each pass-through cable module
accommodates a Crestron FT2A-CBL-PT Series Pass-Through Cable
(not included) and various other third-party interface cables. Use blank
plate modules to cover any unused module slots within the FlipTop
assembly.
The flexible modular design of the FlipTop assembly can be customized
with an assortment of Crestron accessories (not included):
• FT2A-CBL-PT is a series of pass-through cables optimized for
the provided pass-through cable modules.
• FT2A-CBLR-GR is a series of gravity cable retractors. Each cable
in the retractor pulls out up to 3 ft (0.9 m) and retracts gently
back into the FlipTop assembly.
• FT2A-PLT-KEY-10 is a pack of 10 keystone plate modules.
Each module accommodates standard flush-mount keystone
connectors.
• FT2A-CHGR-USBA-BASIC is a USB rapid charging module that
provides two USB Type-A charging ports.
• FT2A-PWR-US is a series of AC power outlet modules that
provide one or more NEMA 5 type receptacles above the table.
The basic model provides one additional outlet below the table;
the other models provide two.
• FT2A-UTK-SHELF in an under-table utility shelf capable of
holding HDMI® switches or HDBaseT® transmitters.
• FT2A-PLT-BLANK-10 is a pack of 10 blank plate modules used
to supplement those provided with the FlipTop assembly. Each
module covers one unused module slot within the assembly.
• FT2A-PLT-PT-10 is a pack of 10 pass-through cable modules used
to supplement those provided with the FlipTop assembly. Each
module accommodates a Crestron FT2A-CBL-PT Series
Pass-Through Cable or a third-party interface cable.

Mount the FlipTop Assembly
The next two sections describe the mounting procedure.
Cut the Mounting Hole
NOTE: Before cutting the mounting hole, check underneath the table
for any obstructions that may impede the installation of the FlipTop
assembly, retractors, and accessories.
1. Trace an outline of the mounting hole onto the table using the
included cutout template.
2. Cut a mounting hole in the table with an appropriate saw.
Secure the FlipTop Assembly
To secure the FlipTop assembly:
1. Ensure that the two swiveling dogs are positioned inside of
the FlipTop assembly, and then insert the assembly into the
mounting hole until the top lip is flush with the table surface.
CAUTION: Set the screwdriver torque to its lowest setting to
avoid stripping the swiveling dogs and damaging the table.
If removing the FlipTop assembly from the table, ensure that
the screwdriver rotation is set correctly before loosening the
swiveling dogs.
2. Carefully tighten the two swiveling dogs in the FlipTop assembly
clockwise until the assembly is secured in place against the table.
Do not overtighten the swiveling dogs.

Position the Modules
NOTE: The FlipTop assembly includes six FT2A-PLT-PT pass-through
cable modules and three FT2A-PLT-BLANK blank plate modules. No
other modules are included.
Follow the best practices below when performing module installation:
• Perform module installation in the following order:
1. AC Power Outlet Modules (FT2A-PWR-US)
2. Retractor modules (FT2A-CBLR-GR)
3. All other modules (FT2A-PLT-KEY, FT2A-CHGR-USBA-BASIC,
FT2A-PLT-PT, and FT2A-PLT-BLANK)
•
Place the FT2A-CBLR-GR modules only at the ends of the
module row.
• Dress all cables after installing each module.
NOTE: FT2A-CBLR-GR modules are compatible with electrical and
mechanical FlipTop assemblies; however, the LED indicators on the
front of these modules do not light when installed into an
FT2-1200-MECH.
Install the Pass-Through Cable Module
Each pass-through cable module is packaged with one nylon grommet
and one cable plate. One empty module slot is required for installation.
To assemble and install the pass-through cable modules into the
FlipTop assembly:
1. Separate the grommet.
2. Insert the cable into the grommet with the connector facing up
toward the end user.
NOTE: The grommet is optional. It fits 10mm or smaller cables
(non-4K cables such as USB, CAT6, VGA, and audio). Omit the
grommet if installing larger cables (such as Crestron 4K video
cables) into the module.
3. Press the grommet back together to secure the cable inside.
4. Push the grommet and cable into the hole in the cable plate.
5. Insert the cable plate into one of the three slots in the
pass-through module. The top of the cable connector should sit
flush with the top of the module.

NOTE: If the cable connector extends past the top of the

6. Attach the side plate to the module by snapping the plastic clips
on the plate into the two slots on the module.
NOTE: Ensure that the cable moves freely in the module prior to
attaching the side plate, as the plate is difficult to remove once
it is attached. If the side plate must be removed, use a small,
flat object (such as a flat-head screwdriver) to carefully pry the
plastic clips on the side plate off of the module near the two
slots.

7. Feed the other end of the cable through an empty module slot in
the FlipTop assembly.
8. Slide the pass-through cable module into the empty module slot
in the FlipTop assembly. Use the guide ribs on the front and rear
of each module to help position the module in the assembly.
Install the Blank and Keystone Plate Module
Three blank plate modules are included to fill empty slots in the
module row. A keystone plate module allows for cables terminated
with standard keystone jacks to be installed in the FlipTop assembly.
The blank and keystone plate modules each require one empty module
slot for installation.
Blank and Keystone Plates

To install a blank or keystone plate module into the FlipTop assembly:
• Slide the blank plate module down into the appropriate module
slot. Use the guide ribs on the front and rear of each module to
help position it in the assembly.
• For the keystone plate module, complete the following.
