Panduit CPP48FMWWH 48-Port 2U Flush Mount Modular Patch Panel
Overview
The Panduit CPP48FMWWH is a 48-port, 2U modular patch panel from the Pan-Net™ copper systems line — designed for high-density structured cabling in 19-inch and 23-inch rack and cabinet environments. It accepts up to 48 Mini-Com™ modules for unshielded copper applications, giving you a clean, organized termination point for horizontal cabling runs without the bulk of pre-loaded panels. The flush-mount design seats the panel face even with the rack ears, which matters in tight front-of-rack clearance situations where protruding faceplates create airflow or door-clearance problems.
Built from cold-rolled steel (CRS) and finished in white, the CPP48FMWWH fits installations where the panel needs to match lighter-colored enclosures or where cable identification labeling (via adhesive strips) needs good contrast. RoHS compliance is confirmed, making it suitable for deployments with environmental procurement requirements.
Key Features
- 48 Mini-Com™ Module Positions in 2U: Fitting 48 ports into just 3.47 inches of vertical rack space (88.13 mm) means you can terminate a full 48-port switch uplink floor with a single panel — no second panel, no half-empty 1U filler. High-density floors and IDF closets benefit directly from that rack-unit efficiency.
- Flush-Mount Rack Interface: The panel mounts flush with the rack plane rather than proud of it. In shallow-depth wall-mount cabinets or any install where a recessed door is close to the panel face, this eliminates the interference that standard angled or protruding panels create. It also gives a cleaner finished appearance in client-facing MDF rooms.
- Module-Agnostic Flexibility: Because the CPP48FMWWH ships without pre-loaded jacks, you choose the Mini-Com™ modules that match your cabling category and connector type — Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, fiber, or specialty I/O — rather than being locked into what the factory loaded. Mixed-use floors with data, voice, and AV runs can all terminate into a single panel.
- 19-Inch and 23-Inch Rack Compatibility (482.6 mm width): The 19-inch overall width (482.6 mm) fits standard EIA-310 19-inch racks. Verify your specific rack ear configuration if mounting into a 23-inch open frame — adapters may be needed for the wider rail spacing.
- Cold-Rolled Steel Construction: CRS provides the rigidity needed to resist panel flex when seating or removing modules under load. Cheaper stamped panels flex and loosen module retention over time; the steel body keeps individual modules seated firmly even in high-patch-frequency environments.
- Adhesive Label Identification: The panel supports adhesive labeling directly on the faceplate, so you can implement port identification schemes — circuit IDs, room numbers, switch port mapping — without third-party label holders that add depth or snag patch cords.
- RoHS Compliant: Verified RoHS compliance (UPC 61305634159) satisfies environmental procurement requirements common in government, education, and EU-market deployments. No additional documentation request needed for standard RoHS declarations.
- Sold Individually, Carton Qty 10: Available as a single unit (package quantity 1), so you can provision exact quantities without overbuying. Carton pricing at 10 units is available for larger rollouts.
Integration & Compatibility
The CPP48FMWWH is part of Panduit's Pan-Net™ copper systems ecosystem and is designed specifically to accept the full range of Mini-Com™ modular patch panel inserts. This includes copper data jacks across Cat 5e through Cat 6A, as well as fiber and specialty AV or multimedia modules — making it a flexible termination backbone across different cabling tiers within the same rack. It fits standard 19-inch EIA rack cabinets and enclosures, and integrates cleanly into structured cabling designs that pair it with patch cords for front-of-panel connections to active switching equipment. For complete channel performance, module selection should match the installed horizontal cable category — the panel itself is passive and category-neutral.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the CPP48FMWWH come with Mini-Com™ modules pre-installed?
A: No. The CPP48FMWWH ships as an unloaded panel with 48 empty module positions. Mini-Com™ jack modules are purchased separately and chosen based on your cabling category and connector requirements.
Q: What rack sizes does the CPP48FMWWH fit?
A: The panel is 19 inches wide (482.6 mm) and fits standard 19-inch EIA-310 racks and cabinets, including both 483 mm and 584 mm-depth enclosures as noted in the product documentation.
Q: How many rack units does the CPP48FMWWH occupy?
A: It occupies 2U. The overall height is 3.47 inches (88.13 mm), which corresponds to a standard 2U panel form factor.
Q: Is the CPP48FMWWH RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CPP48FMWWH meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for projects with environmental compliance mandates including EU-market and government installations.
Q: What is the difference between a flush-mount and a standard patch panel?
A: A flush-mount panel installs with its face even with the rack ears rather than protruding forward. This matters in shallow cabinets or where recessed doors have limited clearance, as a protruding panel can interfere with door closure or airflow pathways.
Q: Can I order a single CPP48FMWWH or must I buy a full carton?
A: The package quantity is 1, so single-unit orders are supported. The carton quantity is 10 for larger-volume procurement.
The CPP48FMWWH's flush-mount profile is the spec that gets overlooked until it isn't — I've seen installs where a standard-depth panel face pushed a 600mm-deep cabinet door out of alignment on every close. At 19 inches wide and 3.47 inches tall (2U), this panel terminates a full 48-port switch tier without demanding extra rack space, and the face sits flush so shallow enclosures stay functional.
Technical Highlights:
- 48 Ports in 2U (3.47 in / 88.13 mm): That's a full horizontal cabling tier — 48 drops — in just two rack units. For IDF closets where every U counts against switching, PDU, and patch space, that density directly reduces total rack count.
- Unloaded Modular Design: No factory-loaded jacks means you're not paying for pre-terminated Cat 6 when your run is Cat 6A, and you're not re-ordering a whole panel to accommodate a fiber or multimedia port mid-floor. Module mix is field-configurable.
- CRS Body: Cold-rolled steel keeps the panel rigid under repeated module insertions and removals — relevant in any environment where MAC (move/add/change) work is frequent and cheap stamped faceplates would start to flex at the module seats.
Deployment Considerations:
- The panel ships unloaded — confirm your Mini-Com™ module order before scheduling termination. Forgetting modules on a large rollout is a one-day delay you won't want.
- Width is 482.6 mm (19-inch standard), but if you're mounting into a 23-inch open-frame rack, verify rail adapter availability before ordering — the flush-mount ear design may not accommodate all 23-inch adapter kits without confirming fit first.
The CPP48FMWWH is a solid fit for IDF buildouts in commercial office or campus environments where rack depth is constrained, cabling categories are mixed across floors, and the infrastructure team wants a single passive termination platform they can configure port-by-port rather than re-order when requirements change.
