Panduit CFGBBL Pan-Net Brush Insert for GFCI Faceplates

The Panduit CFGBBL is a compact brush insert designed for clean cable pass-through in GFCI faceplates. Measuring just 0.15" × 0.07" with a 0.02" profile, this black ABS insert creates a dust-resistant opening that allows AV and low-voltage cables to route through wall plates while maintaining a professional finish. Ideal for conference rooms, huddle spaces, and equipment racks where GFCI power and signal cables converge at the same wall location. Integrators installing presentation systems, videoconferencing setups, or networked AV equipment use this insert to eliminate the need for separate cable plates—power and data share one faceplate footprint without compromising code compliance or aesthetics.

Key Features

Brush-style cable pass-through keeps dust and debris out while allowing HDMI, USB, CAT6, and other cables to route cleanly

Black ABS construction resists impact and UV degradation in both indoor and outdoor-rated GFCI installations

0.02" low-profile design sits flush with Panduit GFCI faceplates, eliminating snag points or cable stress

RoHS compliant—safe for commercial AV installs in schools, healthcare, and government facilities with material-restriction mandates

Single-pack format (10-piece carton quantity) supports both small retrofit jobs and large new-construction deployments

In AV-over-IP and unified communications installs, wall plates often become choke points—installers either run separate low-voltage plates next to GFCI outlets (wasting wall space and looking unfinished) or drill ad-hoc cable holes that fail inspection. The CFGBBL solves both problems by integrating directly into Panduit's GFCI faceplate ecosystem. The brush bristles flex to accommodate cable bundles from thin USB-C to thick shielded CAT6A, then spring back to block dust ingress when cables are removed or repositioned. This makes the insert particularly valuable in education and corporate environments where AV endpoints get swapped frequently—projectors become displays, wired presenters go wireless, conference tables get reconfigured. The insert adapts without requiring plate replacements or drywall patching.

Dimensions are optimized for the Panduit Pan-Net GFCI series: 0.15" length and 0.07" width fit the standard insert cavity without requiring faceplate modification, while the 0.6 mm (0.02") height keeps the brush surface co-planar with the surrounding plate. ABS material provides the rigidity needed to snap into place during install but enough flex to prevent cracking if cables are yanked during furniture moves or equipment swaps. Unlike foam grommets that compress and lose sealing over time, brush bristles maintain their spring tension across thousands of cable insertions—critical for hotel meeting rooms, university lecture halls, and other high-cycle environments. Black color matches the vast majority of commercial wall plate installations; for white or almond deployments, Panduit offers alternate SKUs, but black remains the integrator standard for equipment rooms and behind-display routing where the plate won't be visible to end users.

RoHS compliance ensures compatibility with California Prop 65, federal procurement rules, and LEED material credit documentation—often a checkbox item during project closeout for K-12, healthcare, and GSA jobs. The insert ships individually (package quantity: 1) with a carton quantity of 10, allowing distributors to break cases for small service calls while maintaining factory packaging integrity. Installers typically order in multiples of 10 to match faceplate box quantities, then keep spares in the truck for punch-list callbacks when a cable route changes post-occupancy. Pair with Panduit GFCI faceplates, Panduit modular inserts for HDMI/USB/DisplayPort, and standard GFCI receptacles to build a complete wall-plate solution that passes electrical inspection while delivering the cable flexibility AV systems demand.
