Panduit AFR4TRT70BL Pan-Way T-70 Floor Raceway Transition Fitting
Overview
The Panduit AFR4TRT70BL is the T-70 surface-mount transition fitting in the Pan-Way™ above-floor raceway system, designed specifically to route low-voltage, fiber optic, and power cables from the floor surface up into the raceway channel — cleanly and without exposed bends. At 7.13 inches long and 3.5 inches tall, this black ABS fitting bridges the gap between the floor plane and the raceway body, giving installers a finished, professional transition point rather than an improvised cable loop. It is a single-piece-per-package component sold in cartons of 10, making it straightforward to specify by the box on multi-drop floor installations. For integrators running Panduit Pan-Way raceway across open-plan offices, conference rooms, or AV-equipped training spaces, this fitting resolves one of the most common snag points: the floor entry.
Key Features
- Matched to the T-70 Profile: Designed exclusively for use with the T-70 above-floor raceway system — the fitting geometry aligns with the T-70 base and cover dimensions, so there are no gaps, mismatched radii, or field-trimming required. Mismatched transition fittings are a leading cause of failed inspections on above-floor raceway runs; using the system-matched part eliminates that risk.
- ABS Construction: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) delivers a balance of impact resistance and dimensional stability that keeps the fitting seated flat even in high-foot-traffic zones. It won't deform under rolling cart loads the way softer PVC fittings can, and it holds paint and trim color adhesion well for facilities that require color-matched finishes.
- UL94V-0 Flame Rating: The UL94V-0 rating (confirmed under listing E116129) means the material self-extinguishes after a flame source is removed — a code requirement in many commercial occupancies and a non-negotiable for installed wiring systems in occupied buildings. If your AHJ is auditing plenum or raceway assemblies, this rating is the spec to cite.
- UL-5A Listed, 600VAC / CSA C22.2 No. 62.1-03: Full UL-5A surface metal and non-metallic raceway listing at 600VAC covers both low-voltage data cable and AC power circuits in the same raceway run — meaning this fitting can serve hybrid AV/power installations without requiring a separate conduit system for the power conductors. The CSA listing extends coverage to Canadian projects under the same part number.
- RoHS Compliant: RoHS compliance removes restriction-of-hazardous-substances barriers for commercial building specifications and makes the fitting usable on government, education, and healthcare projects that require RoHS documentation in the submittal package.
- 3.5 in. H × 3.49 in. W × 7.13 in. L Envelope: The compact profile — roughly square in cross-section at 3.5 by 3.49 inches — keeps the transition fitting within the footprint of the T-70 raceway body. Oversized transition fittings create trip hazards and ADA clearance issues; this geometry stays within the raceway's own profile. The 7.13-inch length provides enough sweep to manage the cable bend radius for Cat6A and fiber without exceeding minimum bend radius limits.
- Black Colorway: The black finish coordinates with dark flooring, cable trays, and AV furniture common in conference and training environments. Panduit offers this fitting in the standard black matched to the T-70 system's color family — no field painting required for a finished installation.
Integration & Compatibility
The AFR4TRT70BL is engineered specifically for the above-floor raceway T-70 system. The T-70 is Panduit's 2-compartment, 1-3/4-inch raceway profile sized for mixed low-voltage and power runs. This transition fitting mates to that base geometry; it will not fit narrower T-45 or T-70 single-compartment variants without modification. Verify the raceway part number on your drawing set before ordering — the competitor cross-reference on file (OFR89-DS4000) may help when substituting on a project specifying an alternate brand.
For complete cable management runs, this fitting works alongside T-70 straight sections, inside/outside corner fittings, and T-tee fittings from the same Pan-Way family. When planning a floor run for a conference room AV system or a security camera drop, pair this transition piece with the appropriate quantity of straight raceway and corner fittings — the T-70 system is designed so all fittings share the same snap-on cover retention, keeping installation consistent across the run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What raceway system is the AFR4TRT70BL designed for?
A: The AFR4TRT70BL is designed exclusively for Panduit's Pan-Way T-70 above-floor raceway system. It will not fit other raceway profiles such as the T-45 or LD series without modification.
Q: What voltage rating does this fitting carry?
A: The AFR4TRT70BL is UL-5A listed at 600VAC and CSA C22.2 No. 62.1-03 rated at 600V, covering both low-voltage data/fiber runs and standard AC power conductors in the same raceway assembly.
Q: Is the AFR4TRT70BL RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The AFR4TRT70BL meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for government, education, and healthcare projects that require RoHS documentation in submittals.
Q: How many fittings come per package and per carton?
A: Each package contains 1 fitting. Carton quantity is 10 units, which is the standard order increment for multi-drop floor installations.
Q: What is the flame rating on the AFR4TRT70BL?
A: The ABS material carries a UL94V-0 flame rating under listing E116129, meaning it self-extinguishes after the flame source is removed — a common code requirement for raceway systems in commercial occupancies.
Q: What are the overall dimensions of the AFR4TRT70BL?
A: Overall dimensions are 7.13 in. (length) × 3.49 in. (width) × 3.5 in. (height), or 88.6 mm wide by 88.9 mm tall. The profile stays within the T-70 raceway footprint to avoid creating a trip hazard or ADA clearance issue.
The AFR4TRT70BL is one of those parts that either shows up on your materials list or causes a last-minute field scramble — the T-70 floor transition fitting is the component that makes a Pan-Way floor run look intentional rather than improvised. The 7.13-inch body gives you enough sweep to manage Cat6A's 1-inch minimum bend radius and OM3/OM4 fiber's 15mm dynamic bend radius without coiling cable inside the fitting, which is where damage happens on rushed installs.
Technical Highlights:
- UL94V-0 / E116129: The self-extinguishing flame rating is required by most commercial building codes for any raceway carrying power conductors — at 600VAC UL-5A, this fitting covers hybrid low-voltage and AC power runs under a single listed assembly, which simplifies the submittal package.
- ABS at 3.5 in. × 3.49 in. cross-section: The near-square profile matches the T-70 body envelope precisely, so the transition sits flush and doesn't protrude beyond the raceway footprint — relevant when ADA compliance or floor-plan clearances are in the spec.
- CSA C22.2 No. 62.1-03 at 600V: Dual UL/CSA listing under a single part number means no substitution needed on Canadian projects — same SKU, same submittal, no change order.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your raceway profile number before ordering: the AFR4TRT70BL fits the T-70 geometry only. A T-45 or LD-series run requires a different transition fitting — the competitor cross OFR89-DS4000 suggests this is a common substitution point where part confusion occurs.
- Carton quantity is 10; if your floor plan has fewer than 10 transition points, coordinate with procurement to avoid over-ordering — these fittings don't cross-apply to other raceway families in the Pan-Way line.
This fitting is the correct spec for conference room AV integrations and open-plan office security camera drops where the T-70 raceway is already on the drawing set and a clean, code-compliant floor transition is required — not a general-purpose raceway fitting.
