FlipTop Power Centers, Dual AC
Outlets:
FT-PWR-D & FT-PWR-D-LG
Introduction
The FT-PWR-D and FT-PWR-D-LG FlipTop Power Centers provide an elegant
connectivity solution in a stylish flush mount tabletop package. Beneath the
"FlipTop" lid, the cable storage compartment keeps interface cables at the ready for
plugging in computers, AV sources, and a host of other devices. The
FT-PWR-D-LG’s larger size helps accommodate larger cables, connectors and
mounting surface cutouts.
For simplicity within this guide, FT-PWR-D/-LG is used, except where noted.
Features and Functions
• Stylish flush-mount FlipTop housing
• New larger size (FT-PWR-D-LG only)
• Easy pull-out universal cable management
• Two AC power outlets
• Available in black anodized or brushed aluminum
The FT-PWR-D/-LG is available in two different sizes and finishes.

Cable Storage Compartment
The FT-PWR-D/-LG provides for extensive connectivity through an easy pull-out
cable storage mechanism to support a wide range of applications and signal types.
Eight grommeted holes are provided in the bottom plate, allowing for smooth
pass-through of virtually any type of AV, communication, control, or data cable
(cables not included). When not in use, the user end of each cable stows neatly
within the FlipTop compartment while excess cable simply drops out-of-sight below
the box.
Dual AC Power Outlets
For complete connectivity, the FT-PWR-D/-LG includes two AC power receptacles
within the FlipTop compartment.

Setup
Installation
NOTE: To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds
the environmental temperature range listed in the specifications table. Consideration
must be given if installed inside a closed desk or in a closed podium since the
operating ambient temperature of these environments may be greater than the room
ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on
all sides of the unit.
Use the following steps to install the FT-PWR-D/-LG.
Tools required
• Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• Appropriate carpentry tools for cutout
Cable Management Kit
The FT-PWR-D/-LG is shipped with a separate cable management kit for organizing
cables fed into the power center.

The cable support plate should be installed before mounting the FT-PWR-D/-LG to a
surface. The cables are threaded through the cable support plate.
1. Place bushings on the cables you wish to install in the power center (eight
bushings supplied). Use bushings appropriate for the diameter of each
cable.
2. Thread the cables through the cable support plate slots appropriate for the
size of the cable and the bushing you attached in the previous step.
3. Snap the bushings into the slots on the cable support plate.

4. Feed all excess cable through the opening.
5. Attach the cable support plate using the four #04-40 x 1/4" screws.
6. If desired, any installed cables can be secured to the bottom bar with tie
wraps (not supplied).

Cable Support Plate Installation
When selecting cables for installation in the FT-PWR-D/-LG, cable connector length
and strain relief diameter are important considerations.
• If the connector is too long, it can interfere with cover operation.
• If the width of the cable strain relief is too similar to the bushing inside
diameter, the bushing can trap the cable.
NOTE: Do not use the cable support plate without the bushings.
Example Cable End
Must be wider than the inside
diameter of the bushing.
Large Bushing: 0.54 in (14 mm)
Medium Bushing: 0.39 in (10 mm)
Small Bushing: 0.31 in (8 mm)
Must not be longer than
2.13 in (54 mm) to avoid
interference with cover
operation.

Hardware Hookup
Hookup consists of simply plugging the line cord into an appropriate outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous current from equipment under any external load
conditions shall not exceed a current limit that is suitable for the minimum wire
gauge used in interconnecting cables. The ratings on the connecting unit's supply
input should be considered to prevent overloading the wiring.

Operation
The spring-loaded lid is opened by pressing briefly and releasing it. Cables are stored
neatly beneath the lid when not in use to keep out debris and dust. The lid opens 135
degrees, allowing full access to cables and power inside.
Beneath the lid, a recessed compartment with eight grommeted holes through the
bottom plate allows any type of AV, communication, data or control cables to be
instantly available for connection to your devices. The recessed compartment also
contains two three-pronged, grounded AC sockets.
