Panduit CFPL2WH-X 2-Port Classic Style Faceplate, White, 10-Pack
Overview
The Panduit CFPL2WH-X is a 2-port ABS faceplate from the Pan-Net® copper systems line, designed for clean, professional cable terminations in commercial structured cabling installations. Sold in packs of 10, this Classic Style faceplate in white fits standard single-gang wall openings and accepts keystone-style inserts, making it the go-to choice for conference rooms, open-plan offices, and any structured cabling project where a tidy, consistent finish matters. At 4.5 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide (114.3 mm × 69.8 mm), the CFPL2WH-X fits the industry-standard single-gang form factor that virtually every low-voltage rough-in gang box accommodates — no adapter plates, no surprises at pull day.
As part of the Panduit Pan-Net structured cabling system, these faceplates are engineered to work alongside Panduit keystone jacks and patch panels as a cable management solution, delivering a consistent, channel-compliant copper pathway from the telecommunications room to the work area outlet. If you're speccing a full network infrastructure buildout, matching faceplates, jacks, and patch cords within the same manufacturer family simplifies warranty documentation and channel performance sign-off.
Key Features
- Classic Style, White Finish (RAL-matched ABS): The white ABS body blends into standard commercial drywall finishes without drawing attention — relevant in client-facing spaces like boardrooms and reception areas where visible infrastructure should be neutral and unobtrusive.
- 2-Port Configuration: Two keystone ports per faceplate provide enough density for a standard desk drop (data + phone, or dual data) without the bulk of a 4- or 6-port plate. If a workspace needs more ports, install a second gang or step up to a wider plate — don't overcrowd a 2-port.
- 4.5 in × 2.75 in (114.3 mm × 69.8 mm) Single-Gang Footprint: Matches North American single-gang electrical box dimensions, so it drops into existing rough-in without special adapters. The millimeter dimensions (114.3 × 69.8 mm) also align with ISO 8877 single-gang form factor for international projects using compatible gang boxes.
- ABS Material: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene provides adequate impact resistance for installed-and-forgotten horizontal cabling termination points. It won't corrode in typical indoor environments and takes paint or label tape cleanly if port identification is needed post-installation.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — required for projects targeting LEED certification, government contracts, or export to EU member states. Eliminates the compliance paperwork headache when the spec sheet calls for RoHS materials.
- Pack of 10 (CFPL2WH-X often searched as CFPL2WH X): The 10-pack quantity reduces per-unit cost on larger deployments. For a 50-drop project, five packs cover the full floor — straightforward quantity math with no odd units left over.
- Pan-Net® Sub-Brand: Positions within Panduit's structured cabling ecosystem, meaning keystone jacks, patch panels, and patch cords in the same Pan-Net family are designed to mate dimensionally and perform as a tested channel — useful when a structured cabling warranty or channel certification is part of the project deliverable.
Integration & Compatibility
The CFPL2WH-X accepts standard keystone-style jacks — Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, fiber, and multimedia inserts all mount using the industry-standard keystone snap-in format. This faceplate does not include jacks; specify Panduit keystone jacks or compatible third-party inserts separately. The single-gang footprint seats in standard 1-gang low-voltage mounting brackets or nail-on brackets — no gang box required in new construction with the appropriate low-voltage bracket. For retrofit projects into standard electrical gang boxes, the faceplate dimensions align with common 1-gang device boxes. Blank port covers are available separately if one port in a 2-port faceplate is not immediately populated — leaving an open port in a finished installation is a dust and damage risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the CFPL2WH-X include keystone jacks?
A: No. The CFPL2WH-X is a faceplate only — keystone jacks must be ordered and snapped in separately. It accepts standard keystone-format inserts.
Q: What gang box size does the CFPL2WH-X fit?
A: The CFPL2WH-X measures 4.5 in tall × 2.75 in wide (114.3 mm × 69.8 mm), matching the North American single-gang form factor. It seats in standard 1-gang low-voltage mounting brackets or single-gang electrical device boxes.
Q: Is the CFPL2WH-X RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CFPL2WH-X meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements, which is relevant for projects requiring LEED documentation, government procurement compliance, or EU export.
Q: How many faceplates come in a pack?
A: Each order of the CFPL2WH-X includes 10 faceplates. For a 50-port horizontal cabling deployment, five packs cover the full drop count with no partial packs.
Q: Can blank port covers be installed in unused ports?
A: The faceplate accepts blank keystone-format port covers (ordered separately) to close unused ports and prevent dust accumulation — recommended when not all ports are immediately populated.
Q: Is the CFPL2WH-X compatible with Cat6A jacks?
A: The CFPL2WH-X uses the standard keystone snap-in format, which is compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A keystone jacks as well as fiber and multimedia inserts that conform to the keystone footprint.
The CFPL2WH-X is the kind of component that disappears into a finished installation — which is exactly the point. At 4.5 in × 2.75 in in ABS white, it hits the single-gang standard without adjustment, and the 10-pack quantity keeps the BOM math clean on mid-size floor builds. When I spec structured cabling for open-plan commercial spaces, I default to manufacturer-matched faceplates and jacks precisely because channel certification and warranty sign-off are cleaner when the whole horizontal link is from one family.
Technical Highlights:
- Single-Gang Form Factor (4.5 in × 114.3 mm tall): Aligns with North American 1-gang rough-in standards — drops into low-voltage brackets or standard device boxes without shimming or adapter plates, which matters on tight move-in schedules.
- RoHS-Compliant ABS Construction: Satisfies hazardous-substance restrictions required on LEED and government-spec projects without any special documentation chase — the compliance is built into the part number.
- 10-Pack Quantity: Clean divisor for typical floor drops — 50 drops = 5 packs, 100 drops = 10 packs. Avoids the per-unit waste of ordering individual faceplates at scale.
Deployment Considerations:
- The CFPL2WH-X ships without jacks — order keystone inserts separately and verify they're in hand before scheduling termination day. A faceplate crew waiting on jacks is a preventable delay.
- With only 2 ports, this faceplate won't suit high-density workstations needing 4+ connections. In those cases, step to a 4- or 6-port plate in the same Pan-Net line rather than ganging multiple single-port plates, which creates a crowded look and more rough-in work.
Best fit for standard commercial office builds — conference rooms, private offices, and reception areas where 2-port density per drop is correct and a clean, neutral white finish is the visual requirement. Not the right call for data center cabling or high-density trading floor environments where 4- or 6-port plates are the practical minimum.
