pass-through cable modules are included with the FlipTop assembly. All
other modules are not 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-1T and FT2A-CBLR-GR)
3. All other modules (FT2A-CP, FT2A-CHGR-USBA/C,
FT2A-PLT-PT, and FT2A-PLT-BLANK)
• Place the FT2A-CBLR-GR modules only at the ends of a module
row.
• Dress all cables after installing each module.

Pass-Through Cable Module Installation
Each pass-through cable module is packaged with one nylon grommet
and one cable plate. One empty module space 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
towards 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 pass-
through module, the FlipTop assembly lid cannot close.

these three slots.
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.

each module to help position the module in the assembly.
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
