The Crestron FTA-CP-USB-102 is a modular connectivity interface plate designed for integration into Crestron's FlipTop or similar modular table box systems commonly used in conference rooms, boardrooms, and collaborative workspaces. This specific model provides two standard USB Type-A ports to conference table users, offering a clean and professional access point for connecting laptops, presentation clickers, USB drives, or other peripherals directly into the room's AV and control system. The plate is part of a system that allows the connectivity hardware to be discreetly recessed within a table's surface when not in use, maintaining an uncluttered aesthetic, and then flipped up or accessed when needed for a meeting.

The construction is robust, designed to withstand frequent use in commercial environments. The plate itself is a finished panel, typically in a brushed metal or matching finish, that houses the two USB connectors. These ports are usually connected via internal wiring to a control system processor, a digital media switcher, or a USB extender, enabling the connected device to share content on the room's displays, charge, or interface with the room's automation system. Installation involves mounting the plate into a compatible table box enclosure that is recessed into the conference table, with all cabling routed through the table's structure to the equipment rack or credenza.

This component exemplifies Crestron's focus on streamlined, user-centric design for professional AV installations. By bringing standardized, essential connectivity directly to the point of use in a managed and elegant way, it enhances the user experience, reduces cable clutter on the table, and protects the ports from accidental damage. It is a key detail in creating a modern, technology-integrated meeting space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, facilitating seamless collaboration and presentation.
