5. About Your PNP
•Customizable to almost any table top
•Several standard international configurations
•Smooth new look on all sides
•Cutout always matches table surface
•Simple, slide-in installation
•Opens/closes by pressing on top
•Gas spring lift mechanism
This Pop ‘N Plug uses a custom tabletop cutout surface, and hardware is attached underneath the cutout. hen closed, the PNP lays flat and matches the grain
on your table. The PNP design allows the connector panels to be easily installed. Just remove the top and slide the connector panels into place. In the open
position, the PNP is functional yet maintains a smooth, clean appearance. A simple press on the lid closes the unit flush with the tabletop.
The PNP can be purchased with preconfigured options available that include two standard sectional plates.* Each plate includes one or more of the following:
AC power, computer video, stereo audio, modem, or network connections. The AC power receptacles on the faceplates are available with US or international
connections.
All connectors on the faceplates are female receptacles. Each signal connector is connected via a 6-foot cable to its corresponding male plug at the opposite end.
The AC power cables are 9-foot cords terminated with standard NEMA plugs for the US version, or with the applicable plug for international versions..
* See Diagram 6 and Diagram 7 for the available standard plates on both US and international units.
