Panduit PEB2 2RU Panel Extension Bracket
The Panduit PEB2 is a 2-rack-unit panel extension bracket engineered to mount 19"-wide equipment and cable management accessories in 23"-wide relay racks and cabinets. When you're deploying patch panels, horizontal managers, or other standard EIA-310 gear in wider telecommunications or broadcast racks, this steel adapter set bridges the 4" gap without custom fabrication or field modification. Each kit includes two adjustment adapters and mounting hardware, eliminating the need to source separate fasteners or improvise spacing solutions during rack buildouts.
Key Features
- 2RU height accommodates most patch panels, shelf systems, and horizontal cable managers
- Steel construction with black finish for durability and professional appearance in visible installations
- Pre-drilled mounting holes align with standard 19" EIA-310-D equipment and 23" rack rails
- Includes adjustment adapters and screws for immediate deployment—no additional hardware required
- 2.6" overall width per bracket provides stable load distribution across the extended mounting surface
- RoHS-compliant materials meet environmental regulations for federal and commercial installations
The PEB2's 65.9mm (2.6") width per side distributes mechanical loads evenly when supporting populated patch panels or loaded cable managers. Steel construction resists flexing under the weight of high-density copper terminations or bundled fiber trays, maintaining alignment over years of service. The black powder-coat finish matches standard rack hardware and resists scratching during equipment changes. Mounting holes are positioned to align with both the 19" equipment you're installing and the outer rails of 23" racks, so you're not drilling new holes or using oversized washers to compensate for misalignment.
This adapter is most commonly deployed in telecommunications closets where legacy 23" relay racks remain in service but modern structured cabling systems ship as 19" components. It's also used in broadcast environments mixing EIA and legacy equipment widths, and in industrial control rooms where wider racks house both IT gear and process-control panels. The single-unit package is ideal for field techs stocking service vehicles or small projects requiring one or two conversions; carton quantities of ten support larger retrofits or new building installations where rack standardization is incomplete.
RoHS compliance ensures the PEB2 meets restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other hazardous substances, a requirement for equipment installed in federal facilities, healthcare environments, and organizations with sustainability procurement policies. Panduit's consistent hole spacing and tight manufacturing tolerances mean you can mix PEB2 brackets with other Panduit rack accessories—vertical managers, horizontal ducts, grounding bars—without compatibility gaps or fitment issues that slow installations.
