The Crestron® FT2-700-ELEC FlipTop™ cable management system
device, for simplicity within this document called the FlipTop assembly,
installs into a table or other horizontal surface to provide modular
tabletop connectivity for users. The one-touch lid on the unit conceals
eight module slots arranged in two rows of four.
The FlipTop assembly includes six pass-through cable modules and two
blank plate modules. Each pass-through cable module accommodates
a Crestron FT2A-CBL-PT Series Pass-Through Cable (not included) and
various other third-party interface cables. Use blank plate modules to
cover any unused module slots within the FlipTop assembly.
An included power pack, power supply holder, power cord, and DC
power splitter energize the two power buses located within the
FlipTop assembly. A second power pack with power supply holder
(not included) is required if two Crestron FT2A-CHGR-USBA/C USB
Rapid Charging Modules (not included) are installed in a single FlipTop
assembly.
The flexible modular design of the FlipTop assembly can be customized
with an assortment of Crestron accessories (not included).
NOTE: For more information about FlipTop assembly accessories, refer
to the specific product manual located at www.crestron.com/manuals.

Mount the FlipTop Assembly
Mount the FlipTop assembly into an existing FT-600 FlipTop assembly
installation or create a new mounting. The next three sections describe
the mounting procedure.
If replacing an the FT-600 FlipTop assembly, there is no need to cut a
new mounting hole (skip “Cut the Mounting Hole”).
If this is not a replacement, cut a hole and secure the FlipTop assembly
(skip “Replace FT-600 FlipTop Assembly”).
Cut the Mounting Hole
NOTE: Before cutting the mounting hole, check underneath the table
for any obstructions that may impede the installation of the FlipTop
assembly, retractors, and accessories.
1. Trace an outline of the mounting hole onto the table using the
included cutout template.
2. Cut a mounting hole in the table with an appropriate saw.
Replace FT-600 FlipTop Assembly
To replace an older FT-600 FlipTop assembly with an FT2-700 FlipTop
assembly:
1. Remove the FT-600 FlipTop assembly by loosening four socket
screws that secure two mounting plates and the FlipTop
assembly to the surface.
2. Attach four plastic spacers (included) to each corner of the
FT2-700 FlipTop assembly prior to inserting into the mounting
hole previously cut for the FT-600 FlipTop assembly.

Secure the FlipTop Assembly
To secure the FlipTop assembly:
1. If using a single power supply, connect the dual connector ends
of the included DC power splitter cable to the two barrel jacks in
the bottom of the power bus so the cable may be accessed later.
For location of the barrel jacks, refer to “Connect the FlipTop
Assembly.”

2. Ensure that all four swiveling dogs are positioned inside of
the FlipTop assembly, and then insert the assembly into the
mounting hole until the top lip is flush with the table surface.
CAUTION: Set the screwdriver torque to its lowest setting to
avoid stripping the swiveling dogs and damaging the table.
If removing the FlipTop assembly from the table, ensure that
the screwdriver rotation is set correctly before loosening the
swiveling dogs.
3. Carefully tighten the four swiveling dogs in each corner of the
FlipTop assembly clockwise until the assembly is secured in place
against the table. Do not overtighten the swiveling dogs.

The FlipTop assembly ships with one 24 VDC power supply that is
used to supply power to the power bus in the assembly. There are six
possible locations to attach the power supply. Connect the power
supply prior to installing any modules.
NOTE: Two power supplies are required if installing two
FT2A-CHGR-USBA/C modules in the FlipTop assembly. For more
information, refer to the FT2A-CHGR-USBA/C Installation Guide
(Doc. 8219) at www.crestron.com/manuals.
To connect the power supply to the power bus:
1. Underneath the table, connect the power supply to the bottom
of the power bus:
• If connecting one power supply, connect the power
supply’s power cord to the single connector end of the DC
power splitter cable. Refer to step 1 in “Secure the FlipTop
Assembly.”
• If connecting two power supplies, connect each power
supply’s power cord to a barrel jack in the power bus.
2. Use the two included tie wraps to dress the power cord.
3. Slide the power supply into the power supply holder until it is
secured in place.
4. Insert the power supply holder into the side of the FlipTop
assembly so that the four mounting posts on the rear of the
holder engage the four rectangular slots in one of the six
mounting locations.

6. Connect the included 5 ft 10 in. (1.78 m) power cord to the power
jack on top of the power supply, and then connect the other end
to a power source. Do not apply power until all modules have
been installed and all connections have been made to the FlipTop
assembly.
Install the Modules
NOTE: Installation procedures for most modules are available in
separate product documentation. For more information, refer to the
specific product manual located at www.crestron.com/manuals.
The following sections provide best practices and installation
procedures for pass-through cable modules and blank plate modules.
Position the Modules
NOTE: The FlipTop assembly includes six FT2A-PLT-PT pass-through
cable modules and two FT2A-PLT-BLANK blank plate modules. No
other modules are included.
