FlipTop Power Center -
International Version: FTI-PWR-D
Introduction
The FTI-PWR-D provides an elegant connectivity solution in a stylish flush mount
tabletop package. Beneath the "FlipTop" lid, the cable storage compartment keeps
interface cables at the ready for plugging in computers, AV sources, and a host of
other devices.
Features and Functions
• Stylish flush-mount FlipTop housing
• Easy pull-out universal cable management
• Dual International AC power outlets
• Available in black anodized (FTI-PWR-D-B) or brushed aluminum
(FTI-PWR-D-BALUM)*
* For simplicity within this guide the FlipTop Power Center will be referred to as the
FTI-PWR-D unless otherwise noted.
FlipTop Housing
Handsomely finished in either black anodized or brushed aluminum, the FTI-PWR-D
mounts flush in any tabletop surface for a clean, discreet appearance.
Cable Storage Compartment
The FTI-PWR-D provides for extensive connectivity through an easy pull-out cable
storage mechanism to support a wide range of applications and signal types. Eight
grommeted holes are provided in the bottom plate, allowing for smooth pass-through
of virtually any type of AV, communication, control, or data cable (cables not
included). When not in use, the user end of each cable stows neatly within the
FlipTop compartment while excess cable simply drops out-of-sight below the box.
Dual International AC Power Outlets
For complete connectivity, the FTI-PWR-D includes two AC power receptacles
within the FlipTop compartment. A choice of outlet types is available to
accommodate virtually any country or region including UK, Europe (Schuko), Italy,
France, Australia, and China.

bushings supplied). Use bushings appropriate for the diameter of each
cable.
2. Thread the cables through the cable support plate slots appropriate for the
size of the cable and the bushing you attached in the previous step.
3. Snap the bushings into the slots on the cable support plate.
4. Feed all excess cable through the opening.
5. Attach the cable support plate using the four #04-40 x 1/4" (~7 mm) screws.
6. If desired, any installed cables can be secured to the bottom bar with tie
wraps (not supplied).
