Panduit CPP48FMVNSWBLY Mini-Com 48-Port Unshielded Flat Patch Panel
The Panduit CPP48FMVNSWBLY delivers 48-port modular patch panel capacity in a 2U footprint for high-density copper network deployments. Built on the Mini-Com platform, this flat-profile unshielded panel accommodates any combination of copper or fiber Mini-Com modules, letting integrators standardize on one mounting infrastructure across voice, data, and A/V backbone installations. Pre-numbered ports in vertical sequence align with TIA/EIA labeling conventions, and cold-rolled steel construction survives years of plug cycles in demanding telecom rooms and wiring closets.
Key Features
- 48-port Mini-Com modular design accepts any Mini-Com jack module (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, fiber, A/V) in a single 2U chassis
- Flat profile positions connectors flush for clean front access and minimal depth intrusion in shallow enclosures
- Pre-printed vertical port numbering (1-48) eliminates field labeling errors and speeds move-add-change workflows
- Cold-rolled steel (CRS) frame and black powder-coat finish withstand repeated cable stress and rack relocation
- 19-inch EIA-compliant width fits standard 19" and 23" (584 mm) racks with included mounting hardware
- Adhesive label field on panel face integrates with Panduit labeling systems for circuit identification
- Tool-less module retention clips secure Mini-Com inserts without screws or punch-down tools
- RoHS compliant for spec-driven federal and international installations
The CPP48FMVNSWBLY's modular architecture solves the permanent panel replacement problem: when a single port fails or you need to upgrade from Cat 5e to Cat 6A in three positions, you swap individual Mini-Com modules instead of re-terminating an entire panel or replacing a fixed IDC block. Each module locks into place with Panduit's snap-in retention system, providing > 20 lb insertion/extraction force per the manufacturer's spec. The vertical numbering scheme runs top-to-bottom in columns, matching typical patch cord management and simplifying troubleshooting when you're tracing circuits in poorly lit MDF rooms. The flat panel design—versus angled or high-profile panels—positions all RJ45 ports in the same plane, reducing the risk of latch breakage during dense patch cord dressing and allowing finger access to every port without tilting the rack forward. Cold-rolled steel construction resists flexing under the cumulative weight of 48 cables; the 19" width and 3.47" (88.13 mm) height dimension match EIA 310-D rack standards, and the panel ships with cage nuts and screws for both square-hole and round-hole racks.
Integrators deploy the CPP48FMVNSWBLY in enterprise IDF/MDF consolidation projects where horizontal cable runs from floors above and below terminate in a central telecom room, in hospitality guest-room home-run installations where every room's Ethernet and VoIP drops land on modular panels for easy adds during renovations, and in data center top-of-rack patching where access switch uplinks need modular breakout panels before fiber trunk runs. The 2U height preserves vertical rack space: a 42U rack accommodates 21 of these panels (1,008 ports) versus 14 panels (672 ports) with traditional 3U fixed-IDC designs. The Mini-Com system's media independence matters in converged environments—install copper jacks for PoE camera uplinks in positions 1-36, fiber SFP-to-LC adapters in positions 37-44, and BNC Mini-Com modules for legacy coax security panels in positions 45-48, all in the same panel without orphaned unused ports. The adhesive label area accepts P1 cassette labels or handwritten circuit IDs; vertical port numbering aligns with ANSI/TIA-606-C administration standards, so your as-built documentation matches the physical panel without translation. The black finish matches most rack environments and hides dirt accumulation in dusty mechanical rooms.
This panel is manufactured to Panduit's Pan-Net structured cabling specifications and ships RoHS-compliant for installations subject to federal acquisition regulations (FAR) or EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The unshielded design is appropriate for environments without EMI concerns and where grounded shielded cabling is not mandated; for shielded applications (industrial controls, healthcare imaging, financial trading floors), Panduit offers shielded Mini-Com panels with continuous ground paths. The CPP48FMVNSWBLY includes mounting hardware and ships individually packaged with UPC 07498358738 for inventory tracking in multi-site deployments.
