Panduit CFGBWH Brush Insert for GFCI Device Faceplates
Overview
The Panduit CFGBWH is a white ABS brush insert engineered specifically for use with GFCI device faceplates in structured cabling and audio-video system installations. Part of Panduit's Pan-Net® faceplate accessory line, the CFGBWH provides a clean cable pass-through opening that maintains a finished appearance while allowing low-profile cable routing through faceplate cutouts — a small but critical detail in conference rooms, classrooms, and commercial AV deployments where exposed wiring or open ports are not acceptable. Sold individually, with a carton quantity of 10 for larger project runs.
Key Features
- Designed for GFCI Faceplates: The CFGBWH is purpose-built for pass-through faceplate inserts used with GFCI-style device plates — not a universal fit. Specifying the correct insert eliminates gaps around cable entries that would otherwise compromise the installation's appearance and dust resistance.
- White ABS Construction: ABS plastic delivers the right balance of rigidity and light weight for a flush-mount insert. The white finish matches standard white GFCI faceplates, so the installed result looks intentional rather than improvised.
- Minimal Profile — 0.6mm Height: At just 0.6mm (0.02 in) overall height and 1.8mm (0.07 in) width, this insert sits virtually flush within the faceplate cutout. That matters in tight wall-box assemblies where even a millimeter of protrusion can prevent the faceplate from seating cleanly against the wall surface.
- RoHS-Compliant Materials: The CFGBWH meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for projects with environmental compliance mandates — common in government, education, and EU-destined deployments where materials documentation is required during commissioning.
- Sold as Single Unit, Carton of 10 Available: Package quantity of 1 lets you order exactly what a single-port application needs. The carton quantity of 10 is practical for contractors wiring multi-room AV or structured cabling projects where the same insert type repeats across dozens of faceplates.
Integration and Compatibility
The CFGBWH is specified for use with GFCI device faceplates within the Panduit Pan-Net® system. Verify your faceplate model accepts this brush insert format before ordering — Panduit's faceplate lineup includes multiple port configurations and the brush insert dimensions (0.15 in overall length, 1.8mm width) are matched to a specific cutout size. Mixing insert types across faceplate families is a common spec error on large cable plant projects; confirm the faceplate part number against Panduit's compatibility matrix. The white color (Weiß) is the relevant finish variable if your faceplate is ivory or light almond — those require a separate SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What faceplate type is the CFGBWH designed for?
A: The CFGBWH is designed for use with GFCI device faceplates in the Panduit Pan-Net® system. It is not a universal brush insert — confirm your faceplate model accepts this format before ordering.
Q: What are the dimensions of the CFGBWH?
A: Overall height is 0.6mm (0.02 in), overall width is 1.8mm (0.07 in), and overall length is 0.15 in. These are the as-installed insert dimensions within the faceplate cutout.
Q: Is the CFGBWH RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CFGBWH meets RoHS compliance standards, making it appropriate for projects with environmental materials requirements.
Q: How many units come in a carton?
A: The carton quantity is 10. Individual package quantity is 1, so you can order single units or full cartons depending on project scale.
Q: What material is the CFGBWH made from?
A: The insert is made from white ABS plastic.
The CFGBWH is the kind of part that gets overlooked in takeoffs and then holds up a punch-list walkthrough. At 0.6mm installed height and 1.8mm width, this brush insert fits flush inside the GFCI faceplate cutout — if you substitute a generic brush grommet that runs even half a millimeter taller, the faceplate won't seat flat against the wall box and you're pulling it back off to fix it on closeout day.
Technical Highlights:
- 0.6mm Profile Height: Virtually zero stack-up within the faceplate assembly — critical in shallow wall boxes where every fraction of a millimeter counts toward a flush final install.
- White ABS Material: Matches standard white GFCI faceplate finish; ABS holds its color under typical interior lighting conditions and resists cracking during installation handling better than softer polymers.
- RoHS Compliance: Satisfies environmental materials documentation requirements on government, education, and EU-export projects without any additional sourcing step.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your GFCI faceplate model explicitly accepts the Pan-Net® brush insert format before committing to a large carton order — Panduit's faceplate line uses multiple port cutout sizes and not all accept this insert geometry.
- White (CFGBWH) is the only color confirmed in evidence. If your faceplate finish is ivory or almond, verify a matching SKU exists before specifying this part on a color-coordinated installation.
Best fit for commercial AV and structured cabling installs — conference rooms, classrooms, hospitality — where GFCI outlets are required at presenter or collaboration stations and a clean cable pass-through is part of the finish specification.
