Table Mount Modular MultiConnection Solution

The Kramer TBUS-1N(B) is a modular, furniture-mounted connection bus enclosure designed for installation in a table or podium top. Once assembled, it provides a central point for connecting equipment to a room presentation system through cable access or passive interfaces. Its retractable lid allows unused cables to be stored inside the unit and covered, keeping them out of sight. This model features a black sand-blasted anodized aluminum top.

Ideal Use Cases

The TBUS-1N(B) is suited to presentation environments where connection access needs to be integrated directly into furniture. It can be installed in a table or podium top, making it applicable to rooms that use a centralized presentation system. Equipment can be connected through accessible cables or compatible passive interfaces once the enclosure has been assembled with the required components.

When connections are not needed, cables can be placed inside the enclosure instead of remaining exposed across the furniture surface. The lid then covers the stored cables. This arrangement is particularly relevant wherever the connection point must remain available while allowing the table or podium surface to appear less cluttered between uses.

Why Choose This Model

The defining feature of the TBUS-1N(B) is its modular design. Rather than prescribing a fixed interface configuration, the enclosure is designed to work with separately selected inserts and related components. This allows the assembled unit to provide cable access or passive interfaces appropriate for the connected presentation equipment, subject to the components chosen for the installation.

The TBUS-1N(B) designation identifies the enclosure version with a black sand-blasted anodized aluminum top. Other listed TBUS-1N versions use silver sand-blasted or brushed clear anodized aluminum tops, making the black version the specific finish represented by this SKU.

Installation and Integration

The enclosure installs into a table or podium top and is intended to become part of the furniture surface. After assembly, it acts as the access point between connected equipment and the room’s presentation system. The source data does not specify enclosure dimensions, cutout measurements, included interface types, or the number of supported inserts, so those details should be confirmed for the intended configuration before installation.

Configuration requires separately purchased components. The source specifically states that the TBUS enclosure, power socket, power cord, and inserts are purchased separately. These items should therefore not be assumed to be included with this listing. Selection of the power and interface components will determine the final assembled connection arrangement.

Performance Highlights

The TBUS-1N(B) is primarily a furniture-mounted cable and passive-interface enclosure rather than a specified active signal-processing device. Its functional highlights are integrated cable access, internal storage for cables when they are not being used, and coverage through the retractable lid. Once assembled, it enables equipment to connect to the presentation system through the installed cable access or passive interfaces.

The supplied technical data lists a refresh rate of 60Hz. It does not identify the associated interface, signal format, or resolution, so no broader video-performance claim is made for that value.

What Makes It Different

Unlike an exposed tabletop cable arrangement, the TBUS-1N(B) places the connection point within the table or podium. Cables can remain available inside the enclosure and be concealed under the lid when not in use. The modular format also separates the enclosure from the power socket, power cord, and inserts, allowing those elements to be selected as separate parts of the overall assembly.

The retractable lid and black sand-blasted anodized aluminum top distinguish this specific model configuration. The source also lists silver sand-blasted and brushed clear anodized aluminum top variants, but those finishes correspond to different model designations.

Final Assessment

The TBUS-1N(B) provides a modular way to incorporate presentation-system connection access into a table or podium top. Its strongest documented attributes are the retractable lid, internal cable storage, support for cable access or passive interfaces, and black sand-blasted anodized aluminum top. Buyers should plan the complete configuration carefully because the enclosure, power socket, power cord, and inserts are identified as separate purchases.
