Panduit CFFPL2BL 2-Position Mini-Com Furniture Faceplate
Overview
The Panduit CFFPL2BL is a 2-position Mini-Com furniture faceplate engineered for clean, professional cable terminations at workstations, cubicle panels, and office furniture raceways. Part of Panduit's Pan-Net® copper systems line, this black ABS faceplate accepts standard Mini-Com snap-in modules — keystones, data inserts, multimedia ports — giving installers a finished, polished termination point without custom fabrication. At 2.9 in. wide and 1.7 in. tall, the CFFPL2BL fits the compact footprint typical of furniture-integrated wiring channels and under-desk cable management systems.
If you're deploying structured cabling across an open-plan office, conference room, or trading floor and need a consistent, brand-matched faceplate that keeps the aesthetic clean at every desk node, this is the component to specify.
Key Features
- 2-Position Mini-Com Module Capacity: Accommodates two Pan-Net Mini-Com snap-in modules side by side — sufficient for a data port plus a phone drop, or dual data, without pulling a second faceplate or cutting a larger opening. Reduces per-node hardware count on high-density floor plans.
- Pan-Net® System Integration: Designed within Panduit's Pan-Net copper systems ecosystem, so module alignment, locking tabs, and face finish are consistent across the full Panduit catalog — no mix-and-match fitment headaches when standardizing across hundreds of nodes.
- ABS Construction: The acrylonitrile butadiene styrene body resists everyday impact at workstation level — chair backs, equipment bumps — better than polycarbonate blends at equivalent wall thickness. Holds dimensional stability across the temperature range of conditioned office environments.
- Compact Form Factor (2.9 in. W × 1.7 in. H / 73.7 mm × 43.3 mm): The low-profile dimensions are sized for furniture raceways and surface-mount channels where a standard single-gang wall plate would overhang the channel lip. Measure your raceway cutout before ordering — this is NOT a standard single-gang (4.5 in. × 2.75 in.) form factor.
- Black Colorway: Matches black furniture raceways, under-desk channels, and modular panel systems common in commercial office furniture (Herman Miller, Haworth, Knoll-compatible raceway sizing). If your install spec calls for ivory or light gray, verify color availability in the same Mini-Com faceplate family before committing.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements — a baseline procurement requirement for enterprise IT and government projects where material compliance documentation is part of the project closeout package. The CFFPL2BL carries this compliance out of the box.
- Sold Individually, Cased at 10: Package quantity is 1 unit; carton quantity is 10. Order individual units for small adds-and-moves, or order by the carton for new construction runs where per-unit pricing matters at scale. No minimum quantity lock-in on single-unit orders.
Integration & Compatibility
The CFFPL2BL is designed specifically for Panduit Mini-Com snap-in modules within the furniture faceplate category. Compatible inserts include voice, data, multimedia, and blank modules from the Mini-Com series. This faceplate does NOT accept standard Keystone Jack modules sized for single-gang wall plates — confirm module type (Mini-Com vs. standard keystone) before ordering inserts separately.
For structured cabling runs where you need both a faceplate and the patch panel on the IDF/MDF side, pair with Panduit patch panels and Mini-Com jacks to maintain a single-vendor Bill of Materials — simplifies warranty tracking and reduces installation variables. For PoE-powered endpoints at the desk (IP phones, thin clients), verify that your PoE switch port budget accounts for the full run including any in-line patching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What module type does the CFFPL2BL accept?
A: The CFFPL2BL is designed for Panduit Mini-Com snap-in modules. It does not accept standard full-size keystone jacks. Confirm your inserts are Mini-Com compatible before ordering.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the CFFPL2BL?
A: The faceplate measures 2.9 inches wide (73.7 mm) by 1.7 inches tall (43.3 mm). This is a compact furniture-raceway form factor, not a standard single-gang wall plate size.
Q: Is the CFFPL2BL RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CFFPL2BL meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance requirements, making it suitable for enterprise and government projects with material compliance documentation requirements.
Q: How many ports does the CFFPL2BL support?
A: Two positions — each accepts one Mini-Com snap-in module. Typical configurations include dual data, or one data plus one voice drop per node.
Q: Can I order the CFFPL2BL in a color other than black?
A: The CFFPL2BL is the black variant. Other color options may exist within the Panduit Mini-Com furniture faceplate family — verify against your raceway or furniture finish before specifying.
Q: What is the carton quantity for the CFFPL2BL?
A: The carton quantity is 10 units. The package (single order unit) is 1. You can order individual units or full cartons depending on project scale.
The CFFPL2BL is the kind of component that disappears into a well-executed install — and that's exactly the point. At 2.9 in. × 1.7 in., this faceplate is sized for furniture raceways where a standard single-gang plate simply won't fit, and the two-position Mini-Com format gives you enough port density for the typical desk node without over-engineering the termination.
Technical Highlights:
- ABS Body: Impact-resistant at workstation height — handles the daily contact load of an active desk environment without cracking or deforming the module retention tabs, which is the failure mode you see on cheaper polycarbonate alternatives.
- RoHS Compliance: Documented out of the box — no additional certification request to the vendor needed at project closeout. On government or enterprise contracts with materials compliance requirements, this is a line item that can hold up final payment if it's missing.
- Compact Footprint (73.7 mm × 43.3 mm): Sized specifically for furniture raceway cutouts, not drywall gang boxes. Specifying a standard single-gang faceplate here is a common mistake on first-time furniture cabling jobs — the CFFPL2BL fits where those don't.
Deployment Considerations:
- Inserts are sold separately — the faceplate ships as a single unit (UPC 61305656686) with no modules included. Budget for Mini-Com data, voice, or multimedia inserts as separate line items in your BOM.
- Color-match discipline matters on open-plan installs: the CFFPL2BL is black. If the furniture raceway is ivory or white, the contrast is visible from across the floor. Verify colorway across all faceplate SKUs before the install team pulls cable.
This faceplate is the right call for new construction open-plan office buildouts and trading floor infrastructure where black furniture raceways are standard and Mini-Com module density per desk node is two or fewer — a clean, compliant termination that won't require a revisit.
