Panduit CHI2MBL-X 2-Port Mini-Com Modular Insert

The Panduit CHI2MBL-X is a flat-profile 2-port modular insert designed for Interlink frames in structured cabling installations. This Pan-Net™ insert accepts two Mini-Com modules and ships with one blank black module included. Built from durable PVC in a low-profile 1.88" × 0.94" footprint, it provides field-configurable termination points for copper and fiber backbone distribution in commercial security, datacenter, and enterprise AV systems. Each insert maintains compatibility with Panduit's complete Mini-Com ecosystem while meeting RoHS compliance for regulated deployments.

Key Features

Accepts two Mini-Com modules for field-configurable copper or fiber terminations

Flat interlink-compatible form factor fits standard Panduit mounting frames

Black PVC construction for durability in rack-mount and wall-mount environments

Compact 1.88" width maintains high-density faceplate layouts

Ships with one blank module included; populate second port as needed

RoHS compliant for installations requiring hazardous-substance restrictions

The CHI2MBL-X insert solves the common integration challenge of maintaining consistent termination architecture across mixed-media backbone runs. By accepting any two Mini-Com modules—whether RJ45 keystone jacks for Cat6A, LC fiber adapters for single-mode runs, or BNC connectors for legacy coax—you maintain visual and mechanical uniformity at the patch panel or wall plate. The flat interlink profile allows side-by-side mounting in Panduit frames without the vertical stacking constraints of angled inserts, critical when rack U-space is at a premium or when wall-box depth limits rear clearance. Each insert's 23.9mm height keeps the overall faceplate assembly flush, reducing snag risk in high-traffic MDF and IDF environments.

Installers working on IP camera backbone infrastructure, access control door controllers with dual-path redundancy, or AV-over-IP matrix switching appreciate the field flexibility this insert provides. Populate both ports with copper jacks for standard PoE camera uplinks, or mix one copper and one fiber port for hybrid runs where distance exceeds copper's 100-meter limit but power injection still requires a local copper drop. The included blank module covers unused ports during phased deployments—install the insert during rough-in, populate the second module when the endpoint device arrives. Sold in 10-packs (100 per carton), the CHI2MBL-X supports project-scale purchasing for multi-building rollouts while keeping per-port cost predictable.

This insert is the termination standard for integrators who've committed to Panduit's Mini-Com platform across their install base. It eliminates the parts-matching guesswork that comes with mixed-vendor keystones and ensures that every faceplate, every patch panel, and every consolidation point follows the same snap-in mechanical interface. When you're troubleshooting a camera that won't link or tracing a fiber path through three IDFs, that consistency saves hours—you know every termination uses the same retention clip, the same port labeling position, and the same replacement module SKU structure.
