Panduit CHF2MWH-X Mini-Com 2-Port Flat Faceplate Insert, 1/3 Size, White
Overview
The Panduit CHF2MWH-X is a 1/3-size flat modular insert from the Panduit Pan-Net® structured cabling line that accepts two Mini-Com™ modules in a compact footprint. At 1.64 in. wide and 0.89 in. tall, it slots into standard Panduit faceplate frames anywhere you need a clean, low-profile port position without committing a full-size insert to the location. White ABS construction keeps it visually neutral in office, classroom, and light commercial environments. If you are building out a faceplate and insert system, this insert is the piece that bridges the frame to your actual module population — get the frame, fill the ports, done.
Key Features
- Two Mini-Com™ module slots: Fits any standard Mini-Com module — keystone jacks, fiber adapters, coax couplers — giving you flexibility to mix media types at a single faceplate position without ordering a dedicated faceplate per port type.
- 1/3-size form factor (22.6 mm H × 41.7 mm W): Occupies one-third of a standard Panduit frame opening. Combine with 2/3-size or other fraction inserts when a location needs an asymmetric port mix — useful at AV stations or security console drops where port counts differ by media type.
- Flat profile design: The flush, flat face keeps patch cords running parallel to the wall rather than angling out, which matters in tight conduit closets or under-desk surface raceways where cord management space is limited.
- White ABS body: ABS resists the minor impacts of daily cable swaps without cracking or discoloring. White finish matches standard office decor and Panduit's white faceplate frames — no finish mismatch on visible installations.
- RoHS-compliant materials: Meets RoHS requirements, relevant for projects requiring environmental compliance documentation — common in public-sector, healthcare, and EU-export jobs.
- Pack of 10 (carton of 50 available): The CHF2MWH-X (often searched as CHF2MWH X) ships in a pack of 10, making it practical to order exactly what a single floor or zone needs. Carton quantity of 50 suits larger rollouts without over-ordering on smaller jobs.
Integration & Compatibility
The CHF2MWH-X is designed to mount into Panduit's faceplate frame system — verify your frame accepts 1/3-size inserts before ordering. Two module bays accept the full range of Mini-Com™ copper, fiber, and specialty modules. For structured cabling planning, pair with a cabling infrastructure guide to confirm port counts and frame configurations before procurement. This insert does not include modules; order Mini-Com jacks or adapters separately based on your media type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What modules fit the CHF2MWH-X?
A: The CHF2MWH-X accepts two standard Panduit Mini-Com™ modules. This includes copper keystone jacks, fiber adapters, coax couplers, and other Mini-Com-format inserts. Modules are sold separately.
Q: What faceplate frames is the CHF2MWH-X compatible with?
A: This insert is designed for the Panduit faceplate frame system and occupies a 1/3-size opening. Confirm your target frame supports 1/3-size inserts before ordering — not all Panduit frames accept every fraction size.
Q: How many inserts come in one order?
A: One package contains 10 inserts. The carton quantity is 50 units if you need larger volume for a full-building deployment.
Q: Is the CHF2MWH-X RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CHF2MWH-X is listed as RoHS-compatible, making it suitable for projects requiring environmental compliance documentation.
Q: Does the CHF2MWH-X come with keystone jacks included?
A: No. The insert provides two open module bays. Mini-Com™ keystone jacks or other modules must be ordered separately to populate the ports.
The CHF2MWH-X is the kind of part that gets overlooked in a BOM until you're standing in a wiring closet short three inserts — its 1/3-size, 2-port flat profile fills exactly one-third of a standard Panduit frame bay, and at 41.7 mm wide by 22.6 mm tall it plays cleanly alongside 2/3-size inserts in mixed-population frames common on AV and security console drops.
Technical Highlights:
- 1/3-size form factor: At 22.6 mm H × 41.7 mm W, this insert fills precisely one-third of a standard frame opening — useful when a location needs fewer than a full 6-port population and you want a finished, flush appearance rather than empty bays.
- Two Mini-Com module bays: Accepts any Mini-Com™ module type, so a single insert can carry mixed media — one copper jack and one fiber adapter, for example — without requiring two separate faceplate positions.
- Pack quantity of 10 (carton of 50): The 10-pack aligns with single-zone or single-floor deployments; the 50-unit carton keeps procurement clean on full-building rollouts without fractional carton negotiations.
Deployment Considerations:
- Order your Mini-Com modules before installation day — the CHF2MWH-X ships empty, and a frame full of unpopulated inserts is a common punch-list item that delays sign-off.
- Verify the target frame accepts 1/3-size inserts specifically; Panduit's frame system supports multiple insert fractions, but not every frame model accommodates every size combination without a filler plate.
This insert fits best in commercial office and light-industrial structured cabling deployments where workstation drops or security camera patch points need a clean finished look with exactly two ports — not a full 6-port insert burning unused bays.
