FlipTop FT2 Series Cable Management System, 1400, Mechanical, Pass-Through Lid, Black

Product Overview

The Crestron FT2-1400-MECH-PTL-B is a 1400-size FlipTop FT2 Series flush-mount cable management system for conference tables and training room surfaces. This is a discontinued product that remains available for purchase. The mechanical version contains no internal power supply and no Cresnet ports — each installed module supplies its own power, keeping the enclosure simple and reducing cost where centralized 24 VDC distribution is not required.

Product Description

Designed for AV integrators deploying self-powered tabletop AV modules, the FT2-1400-MECH-PTL-B provides the same 1400-size chassis and flush-mount form factor as the electrical version with 18 module slots across two rows of nine. The black finish suits professional conference room environments with dark-surface furniture.

The pass-through lid opens to route cables from below the table surface through the enclosure without a separate table cutout. The mechanically retracting lid uses a magnetically attached bezel for a flush closed appearance. Four swiveling mounting dogs secure the unit to table surfaces up to 1-3/4 in. (44 mm) thick. Because the mechanical version has no internal electronics beyond the chassis structure, installation is straightforward and there is no power wiring to the enclosure itself.

Key Features

• 18 total module slots in a 2-row, 9-slot-per-row chassis
• Flush tabletop mount with four swiveling dogs; fits surfaces up to 1-3/4 in. (44 mm) thick
• Mechanical version: no internal power supply, no Cresnet ports (modules supply their own power)
• Pass-through lid for clean cable routing from below the table
• Mechanically retracting lid with magnetically attached bezel
• Black finish
• Identical chassis dimensions to the FT2-1400-ELEC series for consistent table cutout sizing
• CE, FCC Part 15 Class B, IC, UL Listed

Typical Applications

• Conference room tables deploying self-powered TS Series modules that do not require centralized 24 VDC distribution
• Training room installations where cost reduction is a priority and module power is sourced locally
• Table installations requiring black-finish enclosures to match dark furniture specifications
• Retrofits where an existing table cutout was sized for the 1400 FT2 chassis

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the mechanical version differ from the electrical version?

The mechanical version (this unit) contains no internal power supply and no Cresnet ports. Modules installed in the mechanical chassis must supply their own power. The electrical version (FT2-1400-ELEC-PTL series) includes a built-in 24 VDC power supply and Cresnet data ports for distributing power and control signals to installed modules.

How many modules does the FT2-1400-MECH-PTL-B support?

The enclosure holds 18 modules total across two rows of nine slots each. Compatible modules include Crestron TS Series touch screens, button panels, and other tabletop AV interface components designed for the FT2 chassis.

Does this unit require any wiring to the enclosure itself?

No. Because the mechanical version has no internal power supply or control circuitry, no power or data wiring connects to the enclosure. All power and data connections run directly to the individual modules installed in the slots.

What table thickness is supported?

The four swiveling mounting dogs accommodate table surfaces up to 1-3/4 in. (44 mm) thick. The enclosure mounts flush to the table surface without adhesives or visible hardware from above.

Is this product still being manufactured?

The FT2-1400-MECH-PTL-B is a discontinued Crestron product. Units remain available for purchase while supply lasts. For new installations, verify compatibility with current Crestron module offerings.

Can I use the same table cutout for the mechanical and electrical versions?

Yes. The FT2-1400-MECH-PTL-B shares the same 1400-size chassis dimensions (7.26 in. H × 8.15 in. W × 10.79 in. D) as the electrical FT2-1400-ELEC series, so the table cutout and mounting hardware requirements are identical.
