Crestron FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-HD – FT2 Series Pass-Through Cable, 4K HDMI to HDMI

Product Overview

The Crestron FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-HD is an HDMI-to-HDMI pass-through cable designed for use with the Crestron FT2 Series FlipTop cable management systems and TT-100 cable caddy, providing a tethered presenter HDMI connection at the conference table surface. The cable routes from the FlipTop or cable caddy through the pass-through lid opening to the presenter position above the table, with the HDMI connector available for direct laptop or source device connection. Supporting 4K resolution, it is the standard cable for HDMI presenter connectivity at Crestron FT2 Series in-table cable management installations in conference rooms, boardrooms, and training facilities.

Product Description

In-table AV connectivity — providing HDMI, USB-C, and other presenter interfaces at the table surface rather than through a wall plate or floor box — requires cables specifically designed to route through the pass-through lid of a FlipTop or cable caddy without damaging the cable jacket or compromising signal integrity at the lid bend point. The FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-HD is engineered for this routing: the cable jacket and construction accommodate the repeated flexing that occurs as the FlipTop lid opens and closes during daily presenter use, maintaining HDMI signal integrity at 4K bandwidth through the lid pass-through over the installation lifetime. The tethered design keeps the cable at the table when not in use, eliminating the lost-cable problem common in non-tethered presenter cable deployments in commercial conference rooms. The HDMI-to-HDMI variant is the most widely specified FT2A-CBL-PT cable — covering MacBook (via USB-C-to-HDMI adapter at the laptop), PC laptops with HDMI output, media players, and other HDMI sources at the presenter position.

Key Features

• FT2 Series FlipTop Compatible: Engineered specifically for routing through the pass-through lid of Crestron FT2-202 and FT2-500 Series FlipTop cable management systems — jacket construction and cable flexibility accommodate lid open/close cycling without signal degradation or jacket damage.
• TT-100 Cable Caddy Compatible: Also suitable for use with the Crestron TT-100-B-T Connect It cable caddy for non-in-table presenter cable deployments on existing conference tables.

• Tethered Presenter Cable: Permanently tethered to the FlipTop or cable caddy — cable is always present at the presenter position and cannot be removed or misplaced by room users between meetings.
• HDMI-to-HDMI Configuration: Standard HDMI Type A male to HDMI Type A male — the most widely used presenter cable configuration for PC laptops, media players, and other HDMI-native sources in commercial conference rooms.
• Crestron FT2A-CBL-PT Series: Part of the complete FT2A-CBL-PT pass-through cable family including DisplayPort-to-HDMI (4K-DP-HD), USB-C-to-HDMI (4K-USBC-HD), DisplayPort (4K-DP), and Cat6 (CAT6) variants for full presenter cable coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable be used without a FlipTop — just as a standard HDMI cable?
The FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-HD is designed specifically for pass-through lid routing in FT2 FlipTop and TT-100 cable caddy deployments. It can be used as a standard HDMI cable, but the design is optimized for tethered in-table deployment. For standard rack or wall-mount HDMI runs, the CBL-HD series is more appropriate.

What other pass-through cable variants are available for the FT2 FlipTop?
The FT2A-CBL-PT series includes: FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-HD (HDMI to HDMI), FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-DP-HD (DisplayPort to HDMI), FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-USBC-HD (USB-C to HDMI), FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-DP (DisplayPort to DisplayPort), and FT2A-CBL-PT-CAT6 (Cat6). Contact Creation Networks for complete presenter cable set specification guidance.

Does the cable support audio as well as video?
Yes — HDMI carries audio and video together. Audio from the presenter laptop passes through the HDMI cable alongside video to the AV system, which can route audio to room speakers via a DSP or matrix switcher audio output.

What is the warranty on the FT2A-CBL-PT-4K-HD?
Crestron provides a standard warranty on FT2A-CBL-PT series cables. Contact Creation Networks for warranty and replacement details.
