Crestron FT2-500-ELEC-PTL-B – FlipTop FT2 500 Series Table Box, Electrical, Pass-Through Lid, Black

Product Overview

The Crestron FT2-500-ELEC-PTL-B is a second-generation FlipTop conference table connectivity enclosure in the 500mm size. It includes an integrated AC electrical outlet module and a pass-through lid that allows cables to retract cleanly into the enclosure when the lid is closed. Finished in black powder-coated steel, it is designed to flush-mount into conference and training room tables, providing a professional cable management and power access point at the table surface.

Product Description

The FT2 series represents Crestron's second-generation FlipTop table box platform. The 500 size provides a single-row module bay capable of housing connectivity and cable retractor modules alongside the included AC power outlet. The pass-through lid (PTL) design is the key differentiator from standard lid configurations: cables pass through the lid mechanism without requiring cuts or terminations at the lid itself, and the spring-loaded retraction system draws them down when the lid closes. This keeps the table surface clear when the enclosure is not in use. The FT2A cable retractor modules—available separately—install into the module bays to provide retractable HDMI, USB, or other cable types. The powder-coated steel construction provides durability appropriate for high-use conference environments.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

What is the difference between a Pass-Through Lid and a standard lid on FT2 enclosures?

A standard FT2 lid requires cables to be cut and terminated at the lid edge. The Pass-Through Lid (PTL) allows cables to pass through the lid mechanism intact, so they can retract fully into the enclosure when the lid closes. This simplifies installation and allows use of standard pre-terminated cables.

Are cable retractor modules included with the FT2-500-ELEC-PTL-B?

No. The FT2-500-ELEC-PTL-B includes the enclosure and AC electrical outlet module. Cable retractor modules (FT2A series) are sold separately and must be ordered based on the cable types required (HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, etc.). See compatible modules at creationnetworks.net.

How many module bays does the 500 size provide?

The 500mm size accommodates a single row of FT2A connectivity modules alongside the integrated electrical outlet. The exact number of additional module positions depends on the width of each module selected.
