5. About Your Tilt ‘N Plug 
·
   New leaf-spring replaces gas shock ·   Standard high-quality matte black finish 
·   Pop-up dampening for smooth operation ·   Custom finishes available (contact ALTINEX for opt ions and pricing) 
·   Simple, drop-in installation ·   International power configurations available 
The TNP510 and TNP512 are compact interconnect solut ions designed for mounting into tables, podiums, or other furniture as part of a presentation system. 
Inputs are accessed by pushing down on the top cover a llowing the units to tilt open. The inputs are hidden by pressing down on the top cover until the 
latching mechanism engages. In the closed positions, the  top covers lie flush with the tabletop. 
Signals are passed through the TNP510 and TNP512 sectio nal plates to the underside of the table via cables with mating connectors on the opposite end. For 
example, an RJ-45 F input connector is terminated in  an RJ-45 M connector at the end of a 6 ft (2 m) cable.  The TNP510 is empty, but provides slots for 6 
single-slot sectional plates that can be configured wi th various multimedia and power inputs. Many section al plates are available for the TNP510 and ordered 
separately.  See our website for all options.  
The TNP512 is a package that covers the basic needs o f many Tilt ‘N Plug users. This unit ships as a completely assembled product made up of one TNP510 and 
one SP3500SC Sectional Plate. The SP3500SC is engrav ed, ready to go, and includes the following: 2 standard U.S. power receptacles, computer video 
(15-pin HD), COM Port/RS-232 (9-pin D), video (RCA) , S-Video (4-pin mini DIN), audio (2-RCAs), computer audio (3.5 mm), modem (RJ-11), and network 
(RJ-45) input connectors. All connectors have 6 ft (2  m) cables attached that feed through to the bottom of the unit.
