Panduit PR2VEPWH PatchRunner 2 End Panel 45U 84-Inch White
The Panduit PR2VEPWH is a 45U end panel designed to close the terminus of a PatchRunner 2 vertical cable manager row. At 83.9 inches tall (2,131 mm) and 16.5 inches wide (420 mm), it provides a finished, protective boundary for structured cabling installations without improvised patching or exposed wiring on row ends.
Overview
The PR2VEPWH is part of the Panduit PatchRunner 2 cable management ecosystem — a system built for high-density data center and structured cabling environments. The end panel's primary job is row termination: it seals the open end of a vertical cable manager run to protect cables from physical disturbance, improve airflow containment, and give the installation a clean, professional finish. If you're building or expanding a cabled row in a data center or network room using PR2V 45U vertical guides, this panel is the required close-out component.
Key Features
- Full 45U Row Height (83.9 in / 2,131 mm): Matches the PR2V 45U vertical cable manager exactly — no exposed top or bottom gaps that would allow cables to migrate out of the managed pathway or create snag points during moves-adds-changes.
- Metal Construction with Suspension Hardware: The panel ships with built-in suspension elements that speed installation and reduce handling risk. No field-fabricated mounting — alignment is built into the hardware, which matters on large deployments where installer time compounds across dozens of rows.
- Two-Part Packaging Design: The panel is split into two shipping pieces specifically to reduce carton size. Practically, this means it fits through standard data center door openings and elevator cabs without the awkward maneuvering that single-piece 84-inch panels require — a real time-saver in live, occupied facilities.
- White (Blanc) Finish: Matches white-finish PatchRunner 2 cable manager deployments. If your row infrastructure uses white vertical guides, the PR2VEPWH maintains visual consistency rather than introducing a mismatched panel color that draws attention to the row end.
- Compatible with PR2V 45U Vertical Cable Guides: Specified by Panduit for use with PR2V 45U vertical cable managers. This is not a universal end panel — verify your vertical manager model before ordering.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements, which matters for deployments with environmental compliance obligations or enterprise procurement standards that gate on RoHS documentation.
- Single-Unit Packaging (Qty 1): Ships as a single panel per package — order one per row terminus. For a row with two open ends, order two.
Integration & Compatibility
The PR2VEPWH is designed specifically for vertical cable managers in the PatchRunner 2 family — the PR2V 45U series. It is not interchangeable with earlier PatchRunner generations without confirming dimensional compatibility. Competitor cross-references on file include 32602-E03 and 35502-E02 for procurement comparison purposes. If you are configuring a full row build, pair this end panel with the appropriate PatchRunner 2 vertical guides and overhead cable routing components. For cabinet and enclosure planning, review your rack and enclosure layout to confirm the panel height clears any overhead cable trays or ceiling constraints in your facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What vertical cable managers is the PR2VEPWH compatible with?
A: The PR2VEPWH is specified for use with PR2V 45U vertical cable guides in the PatchRunner 2 family. Confirm your existing cable manager model is the PR2V 45U before ordering.
Q: How tall is the PR2VEPWH?
A: The panel is 83.9 inches (2,131 mm) tall and 16.5 inches (420 mm) wide, designed to match the full height of a 45U vertical cable manager row.
Q: Does the PR2VEPWH ship as a single piece?
A: No. It uses a two-part packaging design to reduce carton size, making it easier to transport through standard facility doorways and elevators. Assembly is required on-site.
Q: Is the PR2VEPWH RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, the PR2VEPWH meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance requirements.
Q: How many end panels come in one package?
A: One panel per package. A row with two open ends requires two units.
Q: What color is the PR2VEPWH?
A: White (Blanc). It is designed to match white-finish PatchRunner 2 installations.
The PR2VEPWH is one of those components that looks simple until you skip it — then you're dealing with cables migrating out of managed pathways on a row end, or an exposed edge that technicians grab during adjacent work. The two-part packaging at 83.9 inches is a practical call: a one-piece panel at that height is genuinely difficult to move through a populated data center without damage or a second person, and Panduit built the split-pack approach directly into the product design rather than leaving it to installers to figure out in the field.
Technical Highlights:
- 83.9 in / 2,131 mm height: Exact match to PR2V 45U vertical cable manager height — no gap at top or bottom that would allow cables to bypass the managed pathway.
- Metal with integrated suspension elements: Suspension hardware is part of the panel, not a separate field kit — reduces installation steps and eliminates the improvised bracket work that introduces misalignment on row-end panels.
- Two-part carton design: Reduces shipping carton footprint to a size that clears standard 36-inch door openings — relevant in live facilities where moving an 84-inch single-piece panel through occupied aisles is a real operational constraint.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your existing vertical cable managers are specifically the PR2V 45U series before ordering — the PR2VEPWH is dimensioned for that product line and is not a universal fit for earlier PatchRunner generations or third-party vertical managers.
- Order quantity carefully: one package equals one panel. A standard cable manager row with both ends open requires two PR2VEPWH units — a common under-order on initial procurement.
Best fit for data center row build-outs and structured cabling refreshes where PatchRunner 2 white-finish vertical managers are already deployed and row-end closure is part of the installation standard — particularly in facilities with audit or compliance walk-throughs where exposed cable ends would be flagged.
