Panduit CFFPA2BL Mini-Com Furniture Faceplate
The Panduit CFFPA2BL is a two-port angled furniture faceplate engineered for flush-mount desk and workstation installations. Part of the Pan-Net Mini-Com modular connectivity system, this black ABS faceplate fits standard furniture openings and accepts any two Mini-Com modules—copper keystones, fiber adapters, or blanks. The angled profile improves cable access and reduces strain on patch cords in desk-level applications where vertical faceplates would create sharp bends. Integrators deploying structured cabling in conference rooms, hot-desking environments, or open-plan offices rely on this faceplate to deliver concealed, professional connectivity at the work surface.
Key Features
- Angled faceplate design reduces cable bend radius and improves ergonomics for desk-level connections
- Accepts two Mini-Com modules in any combination (RJ45 keystones, fiber couplers, HDMI, USB, or blanks)
- Mounts into standard furniture grommets and openings—no custom drilling required
- Black ABS construction resists impact and UV discoloration in high-traffic workspaces
- Includes integrated labeling area for port identification using adhesive labels
- RoHS compliant for environmentally responsible installations
The CFFPA2BL's angled profile is a deliberate design choice for furniture-mounted applications. Unlike vertical wall plates, the sloped face orients jacks at approximately 45 degrees, allowing patch cords to exit naturally toward the user rather than perpendicular to the desk surface. This geometry matters in thin work surfaces where a 90-degree cable turn would exceed the minimum bend radius of Cat6A or fiber patch cords, risking performance degradation or connector damage over time. The faceplate's 2.9-inch height and 1.7-inch width fit industry-standard furniture openings used by Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Haworth workstation systems, as well as aftermarket desk grommets. The module wells provide snap-in retention compatible with the full Mini-Com catalog, including shielded and unshielded RJ45 keystones, LC and SC fiber adapters, and multimedia inserts.
Typical deployments include conference table build-outs requiring concealed A/V and data connectivity, open-office hot-desking where multiple users share workstations throughout the day, and call center environments with frequent station reconfigurations. The black finish matches standard office furniture and conceals dust or wear better than light colors in high-use areas. ABS construction withstands repeated cable insertions and the mechanical stress of users leaning on or bumping desk edges—common failure modes for flush-mount faceplates in commercial interiors. The integrated labeling area accepts standard adhesive port labels or printable label sheets, supporting MAC (moves, adds, changes) workflows where port assignments change frequently.
The CFFPA2BL ships one faceplate per package and ten per carton, simplifying bulk ordering for multi-floor rollouts or campus-wide standardization projects. RoHS compliance ensures compatibility with procurement policies requiring lead-free and low-toxicity components. When paired with Panduit Mini-Com keystones and patch panels, this faceplate completes an end-to-end modular copper system with consistent termination methods, color coding, and performance verification across the structured cabling infrastructure.
