Panduit CBEIW-2GY Pan-Net 2-Gang Faceplate Frame

The Panduit CBEIW-2GY delivers a professional two-gang executive-style faceplate frame engineered for modular structured cabling terminations. This ABS frame accepts up to four half-size (1/2) module inserts or six third-size (1/3) module inserts, giving you flexible port density in a standard 4.5" × 4.5" dual-gang footprint. Cream white finish integrates cleanly with commercial office environments and light-colored wall systems. Each frame ships with adhesive port labels and snap-on label covers that double as screw concealment, eliminating the exposed fastener look that marks budget-grade installations. Pan-Net compatibility ensures drop-in integration with Panduit's Mini-Com ecosystem while maintaining support for most third-party keystone-style inserts.

Key Features

Two-gang executive-style frame accommodates 4 half-size or 6 third-size modules

ABS construction resists UV yellowing and impact damage in high-traffic areas

Cream white finish matches NEMA-standard light wallplates and trim

Includes adhesive port identification labels and snap-on screw covers

4.5" × 4.5" dimensions fit standard dual-gang electrical boxes and mud rings

RoHS-compliant material meets EU hazardous substance restrictions

Executive-style flush mount design eliminates protruding bezels

The CBEIW-2GY's modular insert design supports mixed-media deployments—combine copper keystone jacks with fiber adapters, HDMI couplers, USB pass-throughs, or blank inserts in a single frame. Half-size inserts (like Panduit's Mini-Com TX6A or CJ688 series) give you four ports maximum; third-size inserts (Mini-Com 1/3-height modules) push density to six ports when space is constrained. ABS material maintains dimensional stability across temperature swings and resists the UV-induced yellowing common in cheaper polycarbonate frames, critical for installations near windows or under fluorescent fixtures. The material's impact resistance handles the repeated plug insertions and furniture bumps typical in open-plan offices without cracking or chipping at the module retention points.

Typical deployments include open-plan office workstations where users need a mix of data, voice, and AV connectivity; conference room termination points combining network drops with HDMI and audio pass-throughs; and IDF cross-connect fields where modular reconfiguration beats hardwired jacks. The executive-style design sits flush with drywall when mounted to standard 2-gang mud rings (steel or plastic), and the included screw covers snap over Phillips-head termination screws to present a clean finished appearance without requiring specialized decorative hardware. Cream white matches the dominant NEMA WD-6 color for light switches and receptacles, avoiding the stark contrast you'd get with pure white frames on beige or almond wall systems common in older commercial buildings.

Installation requires a standard dual-gang electrical box or low-voltage mounting bracket. The frame's 4.5" × 4.5" footprint aligns with NEMA OS-1 two-gang spacing, ensuring screw-hole registration with boxes from any major manufacturer. Module inserts snap into the frame from the front without rear access or adapter plates—critical when working with finished walls where you can't reach the back box. Removal requires a thin screwdriver or extraction tool to release the retention tabs, preventing accidental module ejection during cable moves or user plug insertions.

Ships individually packaged (10 frames per carton) with a full set of adhesive labels sized for Mini-Com insert widths and snap-on label covers that conceal both the adhesive labels and mounting screws. The Pan-Net family uses tool-free snap-in module retention, eliminating the separate mounting brackets or adapter plates common in competing systems. When deploying Cat6A or fiber to the desk, this frame anchors Panduit's Mini-Com ecosystem without forcing proprietary connectors or non-standard jack footprints that lock you into a single vendor's termination hardware. The cream white finish maintains its color stability in UV-exposed locations, unlike economy frames that yellow within 18 months of installation near south-facing windows.
