Panduit CMHDMITEI Pan-Net HDMI 2.0 Coupler Module with Pigtail

The Panduit CMHDMITEI is a Mini-Com HDMI 2.0 coupler module engineered for modular AV installations in commercial facilities. This Electric Ivory module features an integrated pigtail design that simplifies field termination in structured cabling systems, eliminating the need for rear-panel access during installation or service. Built to Panduit's Pan-Net specification, the CMHDMITEI supports full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth (18 Gbps) for 4K@60Hz video distribution in conference rooms, digital signage networks, and AV-over-IP deployments where modular patching is required.

Key Features

HDMI 2.0 compliant coupler module supporting 4K@60Hz, 18 Gbps bandwidth, and HDCP 2.2

Integrated pigtail eliminates rear-panel termination, enabling front-access installation and service

Mini-Com form factor fits standard Panduit faceplate and patch panel systems

ABS housing in Electric Ivory matches Panduit's commercial-grade wiring device aesthetic

Compact 0.72" H × 1.24" W footprint for high-density AV patching in 1U panels

RoHS compliant for environmentally responsible installations

The CMHDMITEI's pigtail architecture addresses a persistent field challenge: HDMI termination in shallow wall boxes and crowded rack enclosures. Traditional keystone couplers require 4–6 inches of rear clearance for cable bend radius and connector strain relief. Panduit's pigtail design presents a pre-terminated 6-inch lead that can be routed horizontally or vertically within the enclosure, then connected to the source cable via standard HDMI plug. This approach reduces installation labor by 40–60% in retrofit scenarios where wall cavity access is limited, and it enables single-technician faceplate changes without disturbing in-wall cabling. The Mini-Com coupler body locks into Panduit's TG-style faceplates and universal patch panels with a positive snap fit—no tools or screws required.

HDMI 2.0 compliance ensures the module passes 18 Gbps signal rates required for 4K UHD at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, critical for graphics-intensive applications like CAD workstations, medical imaging displays, and video production monitoring. The coupler maintains full support for HDCP 2.2 content protection, HDR10 metadata pass-through, and 32-channel audio—specifications that integrators must verify when designing systems around protected content distribution. The Electric Ivory color matches Panduit's commercial wiring device family, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic in open-architecture environments where AV terminations are visible alongside voice and data connections. ABS construction provides impact resistance and dimensional stability across the -10°C to +60°C operating range typical of conditioned indoor spaces.

This module is RoHS compliant, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other hazardous substances—a requirement for projects targeting LEED certification or organizations with environmental procurement policies. The 1.24-inch width allows up to 16 modules in a single-gang faceplate or 48 ports in a standard 1U 19-inch patch panel, delivering the port density AV integrators need for hub rooms and equipment closets serving multi-room video distribution. Panduit's 10-piece carton packaging aligns with small-to-midsize project quantities, reducing inventory overhead compared to bulk 100-packs while maintaining per-unit economics suitable for design-build AV contracting.
