The Ashton Bentley Tablebox Table Enclosure for USB-C and HDMI Retractors is a table-top enclosure that gives a meeting table a fixed USB-C and HDMI connection point for laptops. It houses a pair of Ashton Bentley retractors or cables and hides the mechanisms beneath the table.
The Tablebox (900-00491) takes two retractors or two cables, one USB-C and one HDMI, and fixes in without tools. It is the standard fitting on Ashton Bentley furniture, and it can also be retrofitted into other tables.
Retractors, cables, the touch panel, and the shroud are optional accessories that are sold separately. This listing is for the enclosure only.
Ashton Bentley Tablebox Features
- Holds one USB-C and one HDMI connection. The Tablebox accepts two retractors (one USB-C, one HDMI) or two cables (one USB-C, one HDMI). That gives each seat a laptop connection for both common source types without a loose dongle on the table, so presenters plug in and share quickly.
- Works with retractors or cables. Ashton Bentley's retractors have an all-metal mechanism tested to 5,000 pulls, and its cables lock to prevent inadvertent disconnection from any Ashton Bentley device. Retractors and cables are optional and sold separately, so choose the style that suits your table.
- Tool-free fixing. The enclosure fixes into the table without tools, which keeps installation simple for integrators and furniture installers. The Tablebox is the standard fitting on Ashton Bentley furniture, so the same module can also be specified when you order a table from the range.
- Retrofits into other tables. The Tablebox can be fitted into third-party tables as well as Ashton Bentley tables. That lets you add a tidy USB-C and HDMI connection point to an existing boardroom table, provided the cutout and the space beneath the table suit the enclosure.
- Hides cables and mechanisms. When installed in an Ashton Bentley table, the cables, retractor mechanisms, and electronics are concealed within the table leg beneath the Tablebox. Only the connectors are in reach, which keeps the table surface clear and the room looking finished.
- Optional OLED touch panel. An optional OLED capacitive touch panel (900-00509, sold separately) integrates into the Tablebox with color-coded buttons that give the user feedback. It supports manual selection of the table inputs and can be programmed through the DX2 built-in web server.
- Signal-state button colors. The Out-of-Box Operation Guide describes green for an active, displayed input, red for no signal detected, blue for an input ready for selection, and unlit for inactive. These apply when the touch panel is fitted, and they help people fix a bad connection themselves.
- USB-C connection to 4K and 100 W. Ashton Bentley's passive USB-C retractor and cable carry 4K60 4:4:4 video, 100 W charging, USB 2, USB 3, and Gigabit network at the same time. Those figures belong to the optional retractor and cable, not to the empty enclosure.
Where the Tablebox Fits
