Rack & Cabling

Crestron® Gravity Cable Retractors (FT2A-CBLR-GR Series) offer a refined cable management solution for use with CrestronFT2 Series FlipTop™cable management systems. Each cable pulls out smoothly to any length up to 34 inches (86 cm) and stays out as long as it remains laying on the tabletop. Simply lifting the cable vertically above the FlipTop™ allows the cable to retract gently back into the FlipTop. Gravity cable retractors use a precision gravity-assisted track and pulley mechanism housed in a vertical enclosure beneath the table.

Each Gravity Cable Retractor is composed of a retractor enclosure and pass-through module. The enclosure attaches to the FlipTop chassis beneath the table, while the module installs in the top of the FlipTop. A 4 foot long cable tail is provided below the table for connection to a DM® transmitter or similar interface device. The pull-out end of the cable passes up through the module so that the connector nests neatly in place and pulls out easily for use. Each module is labeled with an international symbol icon indicating the connection type, which is backlit when installed in an "Electrical" FT2 FlipTop. When installed in a "Mechanical" FlipTop, the symbol icon remains legible but is not backlit.

The pass-through module occupies two module spaces within the FlipTop. The retractor enclosure slides onto the side of the FlipTop chassis beneath the table and locks into place with a snap. Retractors normally install at the left and right ends of a module row, but can also be installed in the middle of a row by adding an FT2A-CBLR-BRKT series mid-row adapter bracket (one per row, each sold separately). Installation requires 28-7/16 inches (722 mm) minimum vertical clearance below the top surface of the table. End-mounted retractors require 2-3/8 inches (60 mm) horizontal clearance to either side of the chassis, while mid-row retractors require 2-3/4 inches (70 mm) horizontal clearance to the front or rear of the chassis.

Several models of gravity cable retractors are offered. The following "4K" models feature a minimum TMDS bandwidth of 18 Gbps to support ultra high-definition digital video signals up to 4K60 4:4:4. Active circuitry is employed for optimal performance.

• HDMI® to HDMI -Model FT2A-CBLR-GR-4K-HD provides a retractable High-Speed HDMI® cable with a male HDMI Type A connector at both ends.
• DisplayPort™ to DisplayPort -Model FT2A-CBLR-GR-4K-DP provides a retractable DisplayPort cable with a male DisplayPort connector at both ends.
• DisplayPort to HDMI -Model FT2A-CBLR-GR-4K-DP-HD provides a retractable cable with a male DisplayPort connector at the source end above the table and a male HDMI Type A connector at the sink end below the table; converts DisplayPort to HDMI to allow connection of a DisplayPort source to an HDMI input.

The FT2A-PLT-BLANK-10blank plates for Crestron® FlipTop™ FT2 Series Cable Management Systems cover any unused module spaces within the FlipTop assembly. The simple drop-in modular design makes the plate easy to install and matches the smooth black finish of the FipTop assembly. Each blank plate module fills and covers a single empty module space. The FT2A-PLT-BLANK-10 is sold in pack of ten.

The FT2A-PLT-PT-10 cable pass-through plate modules for Crestron® FlipTop FT2 Series Cable Management Systems accommodate CrestronFT2A-CBL-PTSeries Pass-Through Cables and various other interface cables. Cable pass-through plates allow interface cables to be easily pulled out for use, and then dropped back into the FlipTop assembly when done. When stowed in the FlipTop assembly, the cable simply drops beneath the table while the connector remains neatly nested in the pass-through plate.

Each cable pass-through plate occupies a single module slot within the FlipTop chassis and provides three height settings to accommodate cables with various sized connectors. The maximum allowable cable diameter is 0.45 in. (11.4 mm). FT2A-PLT-PT-10 is sold in packs of ten.
