Mount the FlipTop Assembly
A mounting hole is required for an FT2-700-ELEC-PTL installation. Use
the included template to cut a mounting hole for new installations. The
FT2-700-ELEC-PTL may also replace an FT-600 FlipTop or Extron®
Cable Cubby® 700 Cable Access Enclosure using the existing mounting
hole.
When determining the location for the FT2 assembly, consider where
users will be seated and their proximity to the FT2 assembly's modules
and retractors. Refer to the FT2A-CBLR-1T and FT2A-CBLR-GR series
cable retractors for above-the-table cable pull-out lengths.
For a new mounting, follow sections Cut the Mounting Hole and Secure
the FlipTop Assembly. To use the mounting hole of an existing FT-600
FlipTop assembly, follow sections Replace the FT-600 FlipTop Assembly
and Secure the FlipTop Assembly.
