ControlBase Fit | Desktop Mount Designed for Pharos TPS5

The Pharos TPS5 is designed for the wall. ControlBase Fit brings it to the user, matched to the exact geometry of the panel.

Key Features

• Glass fibre reinforced composite body - RF transparent, dimensionally stable, does not flex under interaction
• Integrated brass threads - metal-to-metal fixing, rated for repeat-use serviceability across the full product lifecycle
• Weighted base - permanently bonded internal ballast, low centre of gravity. Stable single-handed panel interaction
• Keystone or Neutrik D-type backplane - single position around the back. Keystone variant supplied with one cable grommet. D-type variant supplied with one blank plate and 2x M3x30 fixing screws. D-type backplane depth 10mm - suitable for current Cat6 EtherCon inserts
• Cable strain relief - integrated cable tie points for cable management
• Replaceable isolation feet - surface protection and vibration isolation on any worktop
• PoE compatible - suitable for single-cable PoE and PoE+ installations
• SELV only - for use with Safety Extra-Low Voltage systems only

Finish Palette

ControlBase brackets are manufactured from fibre reinforced engineering composites - materials selected for dimensional stability, surface hardness, and long-term performance in permanent installation environments.

Gallery Finish - Glass Fibre Reinforced Composite
RF transparent throughout. Thermally stable under normal operating conditions. Does not flex under interaction. Finished with a satin clearcoat for a consistent, architectural-grade surface.

• Arctic - a neutral white. Sits cleanly in contemporary residential and commercial interiors.
• Luna - a considered mid-grey. Sits alongside natural materials without competing.
• Obsidian - a deep, low-reflection black. Anchors the panel on any surface.

Core Finish - Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite
A denser material surface provides greater hardness, abrasion resistance, and resistance to chemical exposure - suited to high-wear environments and technical installations where surface durability is the priority. No clearcoat - the material texture is the finish.

• Anthracite - a dark, matte surface. The material itself is the finish.

Compatible Panels

Listing images show panels for reference - panels are not supplied.

Designed to Pharos manufacturer-published specifications for the TPS5. The bracket mounts to the UMP-5 universal mounting plate supplied with the panel using 2x M3.5 fixing screws on the 120.6mm fixing centre spacing.

Verified compatible with the Pharos TPS5, Pharos XPT5 Express (Expert) Touch, and ETC Mosaic M-TS5 - all three share the same physical format and UMP-5 mounting plate standard.

Portrait orientation presents the panel on its short axis - a narrower desk footprint with the panel face vertical. Fixed at 45 degrees, suited to standard desk height interaction.

M3.5 fixing screws are supplied as standard. 6-32 UNC thread variants are available on request.
