Panduit CHI2MWG-X Pan-Net 2-Port Modular Insert

The Panduit CHI2MWG-X is a 2-position modular insert engineered for structured cabling installations where space consolidation and clean labeling matter. Part of the Pan-Net ecosystem, this Walker Gray PVC insert accepts two network adapters or keystones in a single-gang footprint, giving you the flexibility to mix copper and fiber terminations or deploy dual-port data drops without cutting oversized holes in finished walls. Sold in 10-packs, it's sized for commercial projects where consistency across dozens of drops directly impacts both install speed and long-term moves-adds-changes cost.

Key Features

2-position modular frame accepts any two Pan-Net or compatible keystones in a single-gang opening

Walker Gray PVC finish matches commercial wall plates and surface-mount boxes across most office environments

0.94" H × 1.88" W (23.9 × 47.8 mm) footprint fits standard electrical boxes and furniture grommets

RoHS-compliant construction meets environmental procurement requirements for federal and enterprise installations

10-pack quantity balances project buy sizes without forcing carton-level commitment on pilot phases or small tenant fit-outs

Modular inserts solve the recurring problem of over-spec'd wall plates. When a spec calls for data-voice-video at every desk but only half the drops ever terminate fiber, buying fixed 6-port plates leaves you with blank ports that collect dust and confuse users. The CHI2MWG-X lets you build exactly what the drop needs: two copper for phone and data, or one copper and one fiber LC duplex, or two fiber. The insert holds the keystones square and flush, so plug insertion force doesn't cock the module or crack the faceplate—an issue that kills the aesthetics and function of friction-fit designs after a few re-cables.

Installation speed improves when the wall plate infrastructure is consistent. Pan-Net inserts use the same snap-in retention across the entire line, so your termination techs don't need to reference cut sheets every time they open a new box. The Walker Gray color hides fingerprints and scuffs better than white or light gray, keeping conference rooms and open-plan offices looking clean between maintenance visits. For integrators running dozens of drops per day, that small detail adds up: the difference between a walkthrough pass and a punch-list callback for dirty plates is often just material finish.

The CHI2MWG-X ships RoHS-compliant, which removes a compliance gate on federal and state projects where environmental certifications are table-stakes for bid acceptance. PVC construction provides the rigidity needed to support keystone retention force without flexing, while keeping the part cost low enough that over-ordering 10% spare inventory doesn't blow the project allowance. At just under $6 per insert in the 10-pack, it's priced for commercial scale—low enough to stock in the van, high enough that you're getting Panduit's quality control and supply-chain reliability instead of no-name imports that show up with out-of-spec dimensions or inconsistent snap-clip geometry.

Pair this insert with Panduit's Mini-Com keystones (CJ5E88T series for Cat 5e, CJ6X88T for Cat 6A, or CMFAL for LC fiber) and you're building a cabling infrastructure that's fully traceable, warranty-backed, and serviceable by any integrator who walks the job five years from now. The Pan-Net ecosystem is one of the most widely deployed modular systems in North America, which means replacement parts and expansion modules don't force a rip-and-replace when the building changes hands or the tenant expands.
