The Crestron FlipTop FT2-1200-ELEC-AL is an integrated cable management and access system designed for use within custom furniture, lecterns, and conference tables to conceal and organize AV, power, and data connections while providing users with easy, flip-up access. This system combines a robust, aluminum-reinforced flip-top mechanism with integrated electrical raceways to create a clean, professional appearance when closed and immediate accessibility when opened. The primary function is to hide the complexity of connections—such as HDMI, USB, network, and power outlets—within a table or podium, maintaining an uncluttered work surface, and then reveal them with a simple, smooth motion when needed for a presentation or meeting.

The "ELEC" designation indicates that the module is pre-equipped with a selection of electrical outlets, typically standard NEMA 5-15R receptacles, allowing users to plug in laptops and chargers directly at the table. The "AL" suffix refers to the aluminum construction of the flip lid and frame, providing enhanced durability and a premium finish compared to all-plastic models. The system is designed to be installed into a precisely cut rectangular opening in the tabletop. When closed, the lid sits flush with the surface; when opened, it lifts and rotates back to expose the connected ports and outlets housed in a stationary inner compartment. This compartment includes cable management features like brush pass-throughs or grommets to neatly route cables from the equipment below.

Installation requires careful planning and is typically performed by a professional AV integrator or furniture installer. The system is often used in conjunction with other Crestron FlipTop modules that contain specific AV connectivity (like HDMI plates) to create a comprehensive, hidden connectivity hub. By consolidating and managing cables through a single, well-engineered access point, the FT2-1200-ELEC-AL enhances the aesthetics and functionality of conference rooms and learning spaces, protecting cables from damage and simplifying setup for end-users.
