Panduit CFGBEI Brush Insert for GFCI Faceplate — Electric Ivory
Overview
The Panduit CFGBEI is a Pan-Net® brush insert designed specifically for GFCI faceplates in audio-video and structured cabling installations. Finished in electric ivory ABS, this insert seals the cable pass-through opening while keeping runs clean and organized — the kind of detail that separates a professional AV or data installation from one that just works. At 0.15 in. (L) × 0.07 in. (W) × 0.02 in. (H), it sits flush and unobtrusive inside the faceplate cutout.
Key Features
- Purpose-built for GFCI Faceplates: The CFGBEI is engineered to fit Panduit GFCI faceplates specifically — not a universal insert that requires trimming or improvising. If your faceplate is the wrong series, this insert won't seat correctly, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Electric Ivory ABS Construction: ABS provides enough rigidity to hold its shape under repeated cable insertions while staying light enough that it won't stress the faceplate clips. The electric ivory color coordinates with standard commercial wallplate finishes common in hospitality, education, and corporate AV environments.
- Compact Profile — 0.02 in. Height: At just 0.6 mm tall, the brush profile sits nearly flush with the faceplate surface. This keeps the finished wall appearance clean and avoids the raised-insert look that can snag cables or create an unfinished impression in visible installations.
- RoHS Compliant: The CFGBEI meets RoHS standards, which matters for projects where environmental compliance documentation is required — EU-bound deployments, LEED-certified buildings, or enterprise procurement policies that mandate restricted-substance compliance across all installed components, not just active electronics.
- Sold Individually, Carton Qty of 10: Package quantity is 1 unit; carton quantity is 10. Order singles when filling out a nearly complete installation or cartons when outfitting an entire floor or building — no forced bulk purchasing on small jobs.
- Part of Panduit's Pan-Net® Audio-Video Systems Line: Integrates into the broader Panduit structured cabling catalog, making it straightforward to match with compatible faceplates and other cable management accessories in a single-vendor bill of materials.
Integration & Compatibility
The CFGBEI is rated for use with Panduit GFCI faceplates within the audio-video systems product family. If you are building out a structured cabling drop that terminates at a GFCI outlet location — common in AV lecterns, conference room credenzas, or near-outlet data drops — this insert provides the pass-through seal without requiring a separate brush grommet or improvised foam. Confirm the specific faceplate model number against Panduit's GFCI faceplate series before specifying; brush inserts are faceplate-family-specific, not interchangeable across all Panduit plates. For broader structured cabling planning, verify that your faceplate color selection matches the electric ivory finish of the CFGBEI.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What faceplate series is the CFGBEI compatible with?
A: The CFGBEI is designed for use with Panduit GFCI faceplates. Confirm your specific faceplate model is in the GFCI faceplate series before ordering — brush inserts are not universally interchangeable across all Panduit faceplate families.
Q: What color is the CFGBEI?
A: Electric Ivory. This finish is common in commercial and hospitality installations where standard ivory wallplates are specified. If your installation uses white or light almond faceplates, verify the color match before specifying.
Q: Is the CFGBEI RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CFGBEI meets RoHS compliance standards, making it suitable for projects that require restricted-substance documentation across all installed components.
Q: What are the dimensions of the CFGBEI?
A: Overall length 0.15 in., width 0.07 in. (1.8 mm), height 0.02 in. (0.6 mm). The minimal height profile allows it to sit nearly flush with the faceplate surface.
Q: How is the CFGBEI sold — individually or in bulk?
A: Package quantity is 1 unit. The carton quantity is 10 units. You can order a single insert for small jobs or a full carton when outfitting multiple drops.
The CFGBEI is a small part that tends to get overlooked on BOMs until someone notices an open brush cutout on a finished wall — at 0.02 in. (0.6 mm) tall and 0.07 in. (1.8 mm) wide, this insert disappears into the faceplate, which is exactly the point. It is purpose-built for Panduit GFCI faceplates and the electric ivory finish is not a generic match — spec it intentionally against your faceplate color before it hits the field.
Technical Highlights:
- 0.6 mm flush profile: The near-zero height keeps the brush from protruding above the faceplate face — no snagging, no raised edge visible to end users in finished conference rooms or hospitality spaces.
- ABS material: Rigid enough to hold shape under repeated cable insertions without cracking, but light enough that it doesn't add stress to the faceplate clip retention over time.
- RoHS compliance: Every component on a RoHS-required project needs documentation — including passive parts like this. Having the CFGBEI in the BOM satisfies restricted-substance requirements without a separate compliance chase.
Deployment Considerations:
- This insert is rated specifically for GFCI faceplates — do not assume it seats correctly in standard keystone or decorator-style Panduit plates. Cross-reference your faceplate model number against the GFCI faceplate series before submitting the order.
- The electric ivory color is distinct from both white and light almond. In mixed-finish environments, order a sample or confirm the specific faceplate color code before specifying across an entire floor.
Best fit for corporate AV integrators and structured cabling contractors finishing conference room or lectern drops adjacent to GFCI outlet locations — where a clean, compliant, single-vendor termination is required and the finish detail is client-visible.
