This Pop-N-Plug uses a custom cut-out tabletop surface and hardware is attached underneath the cutout. When closed the PNP415 lays flat and matches the grain on your table. ALTINEX provides three pre-configured templates for the PNP415 cutouts round, rectangular and square. A simple press on the lid closes the unit flush with the tabletop. The PNP415 design allows the connector panels to be easily installed. Just remove the top and slide the connector panels into place. In the open position, the PNP415 is functional yet maintains a smooth, clean appearance.
