Crestron FT2-202-MECH-PTL-B FlipTop FT2 Series Cable Management System, 202 Size, Mechanical, Pass-Through Lid, Black

Product Overview

The Crestron FT2-202-MECH-PTL-B is a 202-size mechanical FlipTop cable management system in black with a pass-through lid that allows cables to remain connected when the lid is closed. It installs into a table or other horizontal surface to provide modular, dashboard-forward connectivity for meeting spaces. A one-touch mechanical pushbutton retracts the lid, revealing six module slots arranged in a single row. The modular design accepts a range of Crestron FT2 accessories for a custom configuration.

Product Description

The FT2-202-MECH-PTL-B FlipTop keeps connections close to the table surface where they are clearly visible and readily accessible. When the lid is retracted, six module slots in one row accept drop-in modules such as pass-through cable plates, gravity cable retractors, keystone plates, USB charging modules, and AC power outlets (all sold separately). The pass-through lid design allows cables to exit while the lid is closed, supporting persistent connections at the table. Installation is straightforward: cut the hole, place the unit, and turn four screws to engage the swiveling dogs that secure the FlipTop, then drop in modules and snap the magnetically attached bezel into place. The result is one contiguous metal surface with no visible gaps or screws, and modules may be rearranged at any time. The chassis is metal with a black finish and a mechanically retracting black or alloy lid. Compatible accessories include the FT2A-CBLR-GR-CAT6 gravity cable retractor and the FT2A-CBL-PT-CAT6 pass-through cable. Note that FT2A-CBLR-1T series one-touch retractors are not compatible with the FT2-202-MECH series.
