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.

Setup
Installation
NOTE: To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds
the environmental temperature range listed in the specifications table. Consideration
must be given if installed inside a closed desk or in a closed podium since the
operating ambient temperature of these environments may be greater than the room
ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on
all sides of the unit.
Use the following steps to install the FTI-PWR-D.
Tools required:
• Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• Appropriate carpentry tools for cutout
Cable Management Kit The FTI-PWR-D is shipped with a separate cable management kit for organizing
cables fed into the power center.

The cable support plate should be installed before mounting the FTI-PWR-D to a
surface. The cables are threaded through the cable support plate.
1. Place bushings on the cables you wish to install in the power center (eight
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).

Cable Support Plate Installation
When selecting cables for installation in the FTI-PWR-D, cable connector length and
strain relief diameter are important considerations.
• If the connector is too long, it can interfere with cover operation.
• If the width of the cable strain relief is too similar to the bushing inside
diameter, the bushing can trap the cable.
NOTE: Do not use the cable support plate without the bushings.

Cables Threaded Through the Cable Plate
NOTE: Ensure that any cables you install have sufficient clearance to enable smooth
movement. Allow approximately 1 meter (40 inches) from the top surface of the
FlipTop box.
Surface Mounting The FTI-PWR-D is designed to mount in a horizontal surface, such as a desk top,
lectern, or podium. The following diagram illustrates the required opening size to
accommodate the FTI-PWR-D. Use the template supplied with the FTI-PWR-D
(4508463) to make the cutout.
