Panduit CFPL2IW-X Pan-Net Classic 2-Port Faceplate
The Panduit CFPL2IW-X is a 2-port network faceplate built for structured cabling installations where clean terminations and professional appearance matter. Part of the Pan-Net Classic family, this off-white ABS faceplate mounts to standard single-gang boxes and provides a durable, specification-compliant finish for horizontal copper runs in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and multi-tenant buildings. The 4.5" × 2.75" form factor fits standard electrical box footprints, and the Classic styling integrates with legacy Pan-Net keystone jacks and patch panels already deployed in thousands of enterprise networks.
Key Features
- 2-port configuration supports dual keystone jack terminations in a single-gang footprint
- Off-white ABS construction resists impact and discoloration in high-traffic areas
- Classic Pan-Net styling ensures visual consistency across multi-year installations
- 4.5" H × 2.75" W dimensions match NEMA WD-1 / IEC 60670-1 single-gang standards
- RoHS compliant for government and corporate specification adherence
- 10-pack quantity reduces per-drop cost on mid-to-large deployments
Structured cabling installers face two persistent challenges at the faceplate stage: box compatibility and long-term appearance. The CFPL2IW-X addresses both. Its 2.75" width spans the 2.125" screw-hole spacing found in standard single-gang electrical boxes (metal 4" square with single-gang mud ring, plastic new-work, or old-work cut-in boxes), and the ABS material resists the screw-torque cracking that plagues thinner faceplates during rough-in. The off-white color matches the RAL 9010 / Federal Standard 37875 neutral tone common in commercial construction, reducing the visual contrast between data outlets and adjacent power receptacles in open-plan offices.
The Classic styling maintains backward compatibility with Pan-Net keystone jacks installed over the past two decades. Unlike snap-in faceplates that require matching-generation jacks, the CFPL2IW-X accepts any Panduit Mini-Com keystone (copper, fiber, A/V, or blank) via the industry-standard 0.56" × 0.62" keystone port. This interoperability matters during tenant improvements or phased upgrades where new Cat6A drops terminate alongside existing Cat5e infrastructure—one faceplate SKU covers both. The 2-port layout supports common deployment patterns: single voice + data, dual data for workstation redundancy, or copper + fiber convergence at huddle-room displays.
RoHS compliance ensures the CFPL2IW-X clears material-composition requirements in federal GSA Schedule 70 contracts, LEED v4 EQ credit low-emitting materials documentation, and state-level electronic waste regulations (California AB 1697, EU WEEE). The 10-pack quantity (versus per-each sales) reduces packaging waste and per-outlet cost on projects above 50 endpoints, and the compact carton footprint (10 faceplates = ~1.2 lbs) fits in installer tool bags for service-van stock or mid-project replenishment without triggering freight minimums. For horizontal cabling projects where termination quality and installation speed directly affect labor budgets, the CFPL2IW-X delivers the finish-grade component integrators spec when the faceplate must match the rest of the Panduit copper system already on-site.
