FlipTop Basic: FT-600

Introduction

The FT-600 FlipTop™ Basic by Crestron®provides a highly configurable

connectivity solution in a stylish, flush mount tabletop design. Flipping open the

“FlipTop” lid accesses its connection compartment where interface cables and

connectors are kept at the ready for plugging in laptop computers, mobile devices,

AV source, and other equipment. A FlipTop is an ideal complement to a

DigitalMedia™ transmitter or any other AV interface device, providing easy access

to necessary connections while keeping the more intimidating and mundane

technology hidden away beneath the tabletop.

Features and Functions

FlipTop Design

Handsomely finished in a choice of black anodized or brushed aluminum, Crestron

FlipTops lend a contemporary metallic accent to conference tables and podiums. The

FT-600 installs cleanly in virtually any flat, horizontal surface up to 1 3/4” (44 mm)

thick. Beveled edges provide for a nearly flush appearance.

The FlipTop lid flips open with just the tip of a finger to access the connection

compartment. Once connections are made, the lid can be closed. A generous, tapered

notch at the front of the lid opening allows interface cables to remain connected even

when the lid is closed.

Connection Compartment

The FT-600 is highly configurable to provide a well organized connectivity solution

tailored to each unique application. It provides options for both pullout and panel-

mounted connectors, with or without AC power outlets. It comes standard with two

cable pass-through plates and four blank plates, all of which can be swapped out for

a choice of cable retractors, connector plates, and AC power outlet modules.

•Cable Pass-Through Plates – Each cable pass-through plate provides four

grommeted holes to accommodate Crestron Certified Interface Cables* and

other AV, data, and communication cables. The user end of each cable

stows neatly within the connection compartment ready for use while excess

cable simply drops out of sight below the cable pass-through plate. The

grommets provide a smooth, slippery surface for easy pullout of each cable.

Blank caps are also provided to cover any unused holes. The cable

pass-through plates are positioned at the left and right sides of the

connection compartment. The FT-600 supports one or two cable

pass-through plates. Two are included.

•Cable Retractors – For an even more refined cable management solution,

the FT-600 accommodates up to six Crestron CBLR Cable Retractors*.

Crestron cable retractors feature a patent pending, lever actuated retraction

mechanism that ensures smooth operation while eliminating hanging cable

loops beneath the table. Up to three cable retractors can be installed in place

of each cable pass-through plate, allowing for a total of six cable retractors.

•Connector Plates – If panel mounted connectors are preferred, the FT-600

can accommodate up to four FTA-CP Connector Plates*. Connector plates

are offered with a variety of common AV and data connector types. Custom

connector plates may also be fabricated by the installer using the blank

plates provided. All four connector plates are positioned at the center of the

connection compartment.

•AC Power Outlet Modules – To provide power for laptops and other

portable devices, the FT-600 can be equipped with up to four AC power

outlets. A single FTA-PWR-102 Dual AC Power Outlet Module* can be

installed in place of the center two connector plates or two FTA-PWR-102s

can be installed in place of all four connector plates.

* Item(s) sold separately.
