Panduit CPPA24FMWWH Mini-Com 24-Port Flush Mount Angled Patch Panel

Overview

The Panduit CPPA24FMWWH is a 24-port modular flush-mount angled patch panel from the Pan-Net™ copper infrastructure line — built for structured cabling deployments in 19-inch and 23-inch racks and cabinets where cable management geometry matters. At 1U, it accepts up to 24 Mini-Com modules for unshielded copper applications, giving you the port density most intermediate distribution frames and top-of-rack installations actually need without burning two rack units for a half-populated panel.

The angled face design is the practical differentiator here: patch cables route away from the panel face at an angle rather than straight out, which reduces bend-radius stress at the connector and makes it easier to trace and re-patch individual ports without disturbing adjacent runs. If you've worked in a dense IDF where straight-face panels turn into a cable wall after six months, the geometry difference is immediately apparent. The flush-mount profile aligns with the rack surface rather than protruding, keeping front-of-rack cable management cleaner when combined with horizontal managers.

Key Features

• 24-Port Modular Design (1U, 483mm width): Accepts any Mini-Com module, so you configure the panel for the media and performance tier the run actually needs — Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, fiber, or multimedia — rather than buying application-specific panels for each closet. One SKU, flexible population.
• Flush Mount Profile (1.72 in / 43.68 mm tall): The panel mounts flush with the rack rail rather than sitting proud of the frame. In cabinets with front cable managers or in open-frame racks with tight depth, this eliminates the interference that recessed or protruding panels create with adjacent horizontal managers.
• 19-inch Form Factor (482.6 mm wide): Standard EIA-310 19-inch rail spacing — drops into any compliant rack or cabinet without adapter hardware. Also fits 584 mm (23-inch) cabinets per the manufacturer specification, covering the two most common rack form factors in enterprise and data center environments.
• Angled Port Orientation: The angled face routes patch cables along a gentler path out of the panel, reducing the cable stress that straight-face designs impose on RJ-45 plugs at high port-count densities. Less mechanical strain at the connection point means fewer intermittent link errors on high-cycle patching environments like test labs or help desks.
• Cold Rolled Steel (CRS) Construction: The panel body is CRS — not stamped aluminum or plastic. That matters in high-density cabinets where panels stack under weight and where ground continuity across the rack is a design requirement. The material also resists the panel-bow that thinner panels show when fully loaded with 24 modules.
• Adhesive Label Identification: The panel supports adhesive label strips for port identification. Not a proprietary label format — standard adhesive labels work, which means your existing label printer output fits without buying panel-specific consumables.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements. Required for installations in the EU and for many US government and healthcare procurement specifications that mandate RoHS compliance across passive infrastructure.

Integration & Compatibility

The CPPA24FMWWH is part of Panduit's Pan-Net™ copper systems structured cabling line. It accepts the full range of Mini-Com modules — keystone jacks, couplers, and specialty inserts — which are widely available and interchangeable. The panel fits standard 19-inch EIA-310 racks and 23-inch cabinets, so it integrates with any compliant rack or cabinet without modification.

For installations planning cable routing, pair this panel with a 1U or 2U horizontal cable manager directly above or below. The angled face geometry works best when the horizontal manager is positioned to catch cables as they exit the panel face — this combination keeps patch runs organized and maintains bend radius compliance at the panel exit point. If you are building out a patch panel infrastructure with mixed media types, the modular Mini-Com system allows you to mix copper and fiber inserts in the same panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack sizes does the CPPA24FMWWH fit?

A: The CPPA24FMWWH fits standard 19-inch (482.6 mm) EIA-310 racks and also installs in 23-inch (584 mm) cabinets per Panduit's specification. No adapter hardware is required for either format.

Q: Does the CPPA24FMWWH come with Mini-Com modules included?

A: No. The CPPA24FMWWH is the panel body only — Mini-Com keystone modules are purchased separately. This is intentional: you populate the panel with whichever Mini-Com jacks match your cabling category and application (Cat6A, Cat6, fiber, etc.).

Q: Is the CPPA24FMWWH RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The CPPA24FMWWH meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements as listed in the manufacturer's specifications.

Q: How many rack units does the CPPA24FMWWH occupy?

A: It is a 1U panel. The overall height is 1.72 inches (43.68 mm), so it fits in a single rack unit slot.

Q: What is the panel body material?

A: Cold rolled steel (CRS). This provides rigidity for fully loaded 24-module configurations and supports grounding continuity across the rack structure.

Q: Can port positions be labeled on the CPPA24FMWWH?

A: Yes. The panel supports adhesive label strips for port identification. Standard adhesive labels are compatible — no proprietary label format is required.

The CPPA24FMWWH is a panel I'd specify without hesitation in any structured cabling deployment where you're managing patch density in a 1U footprint. The CRS body at a 1.72-inch profile holds up under a full 24-module load without the flex you get from thinner stamped panels — and in a fully populated IDF that detail matters when you're torquing down cable managers around it.

Technical Highlights:

• 1U / 1.72-inch height: Fits a single rack unit with 43.68 mm of vertical clearance — leaves the adjacent U-spaces available for horizontal managers, which is the correct way to build out a high-density patching bay.
• 19-inch and 584 mm compatibility: The 482.6 mm panel width drops into EIA-310 19-inch racks directly, and the same panel installs in 23-inch cabinets — useful when you're maintaining a mixed install base without carrying two panel SKUs.
• RoHS compliance: Required on many public sector and EU-destined projects. The CPPA24FMWWH has it confirmed, so it won't stall procurement on compliance documentation requests.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is the panel body only — budget Mini-Com module quantities separately. A fully populated 24-port run means 24 individual module purchases; plan that into your bill of materials before quoting the job.
• The angled face works best when cable management is positioned to receive cables as they exit the panel. If you install this without a horizontal manager directly adjacent, the bend-radius benefit of the angled geometry is partly wasted — pair it with a 1U manager on each side of the panel.

Best fit for IDF buildouts in enterprise office or campus environments where patch cycle frequency is high — the angled face and flush-mount profile pay the most dividends in racks that get re-patched regularly rather than set-and-forget data center rows.
