The Crestron FT2A-PWR-US-3 is an auxiliary power outlet module specifically designed for integration with Crestron FT2 series wall-mounted touch panels, creating a sleek and consolidated user interface point. This module serves a dual purpose: it provides a dedicated and conveniently located power source for charging or operating peripheral devices, while simultaneously maintaining the clean, low-profile aesthetic of the overall control system installation. It is engineered to mount directly adjacent to the associated FT2 touchscreen panel, either on the same wall plate or within the same multi-gang enclosure, allowing users to plug in a smartphone, tablet, or other USB-charged device right at the control point without the need for unsightly, separate power adapters or extension cords.

The module is a simple, passive component that does not contain any control or switching logic itself. It features three standard NEMA 5-15R AC power outlets, which are fed from the building's electrical system through a direct, hardwired connection made during installation by a qualified electrician. The inclusion of three outlets offers flexibility, enabling the simultaneous powering of multiple low-to-moderate draw devices, such as a phone charger, a small lamp, or the power adapter for the connected Crestron touch panel itself, helping to centralize cables and power supplies. Its design and finish are carefully matched to the FT2 family, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance that blends seamlessly into high-end residential or commercial interiors.

Installation requires integration into standard US electrical boxes, and the module is designed for in-wall mounting to keep all wiring concealed. By providing this localized power access, the FT2A-PWR-US-3 enhances the functionality and user convenience of a Crestron automation system. It reduces clutter, streamlines the charging process for user devices, and supports the minimalist design philosophy of modern smart home and building installations. This accessory exemplifies the holistic approach to system design, where even the provision of basic AC power is thoughtfully incorporated into the control interface for a polished and fully integrated user experience.
