Product Overview

The Crestron FT2A-CBLR-1T-CAT6 is a one-touch cable retractor for FT2 ELEC Series FlipTop cable management systems, terminated RJ-45 to RJ-45 with CAT6 cable. It uses an electrically clutched, spring-powered mechanism so the cable pulls out smoothly and retracts at the touch of a button. The retractor is ideal for conference tables where space beneath the surface is limited. An LED backlight indicates cable connector status.

Product Description

This one-touch retractor adds a clean, self-storing wired network connection to an FT2 ELEC FlipTop compartment. Users pull the CAT6 cable out up to 5 ft (1.52 m) to reach a laptop or device, and a button press retracts it gently back into the enclosure beneath the table. The RJ-45 to RJ-45 CAT6 cable provides a reliable Gigabit-class wired link for meeting participants who need stable connectivity. The electrically clutched retraction mechanism delivers controlled, repeatable operation suited to high-traffic meeting spaces. The included backlit module identifies the connection type and shows status in low-light rooms. The retractor installs into FT2 ELEC compartments such as the FT2-700-ELEC-PTL series. By combining connectivity and cable storage in one module, it reduces clutter at the table surface. The unit is designed and warranted for professional commercial AV installations.
