Panduit PE2VEP96 End Panel for PatchRunner 2 Enhanced Managers

Overview

The Panduit PE2VEP96 is a 52 RU metal end panel designed specifically to close off the end of row on PE2V Vertical Cable Managers in the Panduit PatchRunner 2 Enhanced system. At 95.9 inches tall (2,436 mm) and just 1.6 inches wide (41 mm), it provides a clean, finished aesthetic while protecting cable bundles from exposure, snagging, and physical damage at the row terminus. If you're deploying a structured cabling run using vertical cable managers and need a code-clean, professional finish at the end of the run, this is the panel to close it out.

The PE2VEP96 ships in a two-part design — a deliberate engineering decision that reduces carton size, making it easier to transport through tight server room aisles and doorways without risking transit damage to a full 8-foot panel. Hanging features built into the metal construction allow a single technician to position and align the panel before final fastening, reducing installation time and the safety risks that come with managing an unwieldy 96-inch panel alone.

Key Features

• 52 RU Height (95.9 in / 2,436 mm): Matches the full height of 52RU PE2V Vertical Cable Managers exactly — no gap at the top, no trim needed. Correct sizing is the spec to confirm before ordering; this panel will not fit shorter manager runs without modification.
• Metal Construction: An all-metal panel holds its shape under the mechanical stress of high-density cable bundles pressing against the end closure. Plastic alternatives can bow or warp over time in high-fill-density deployments — this doesn't.
• Two-Part Design: The panel ships in two sections, reducing the carton to a manageable size for freight elevators, tight data center corridors, and standard pallet stacking. Reassembles on-site without tools, cutting the risk of transit damage on a part you can't easily replace mid-installation.
• Integrated Hanging Features: Built-in hanging tabs let you position the panel on the manager frame before committing to final fastening — critical when you're working at full height and need both hands free for alignment. This reduces the need for a two-person installation crew.
• Clean End-of-Row Aesthetic: Closes the open end of the vertical cable management run so cable bundles aren't exposed at the row terminus. In mixed-use or client-visible data center spaces, this is the difference between a finished installation and one that looks like it's still in progress.
• Black Finish: Matches standard black PE2V manager framing — no color mismatch in the completed row.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. Relevant for enterprise and government deployments with environmental compliance mandates — this panel won't create a compliance gap in a RoHS-qualified build.
• Single-Unit Package Quantity: Ships as a single panel per order unit. If you're closing multiple rows, order accordingly — there's no multi-pack SKU to rely on for row-count math.

Integration & Compatibility

The PE2VEP96 is engineered exclusively for use with 52RU PE2V Vertical Cable Managers in the PatchRunner 2 Enhanced product family. It is not a universal fit — confirm your manager model and RU count before ordering. The PatchRunner 2 Enhanced system is designed for high-density structured cabling environments where Panduit's cable management ecosystem provides a coordinated, channel-matched solution from the manager to the end closure. If your row uses a different RU count or a different PE2V variant, verify the specific end panel SKU for that configuration.

For broader data center infrastructure planning involving cable routing, vertical management, and enclosure accessories, confirm row geometry and manager count at the planning stage — end panels are ordered per row terminus, and this model covers one end of one 52RU run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable managers is the PE2VEP96 compatible with?

A: The PE2VEP96 is designed for use with 52RU PE2V Vertical Cable Managers in the PatchRunner 2 Enhanced product family. It is not designed for use with other RU counts or non-PE2V manager models.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the PE2VEP96?

A: The PE2VEP96 is 95.9 inches (2,436 mm) tall and 1.6 inches (41 mm) wide — matching the full height of a 52RU PE2V manager.

Q: Is the PE2VEP96 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The PE2VEP96 meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance standards.

Q: Does the PE2VEP96 require tools or a two-person crew to install?

A: The panel's integrated hanging features allow a single technician to position it on the manager frame before final fastening, reducing the need for a two-person crew. The two-part shipping design also simplifies transport through tight spaces.

Q: How many end panels come in one order unit?

A: One. The package quantity is 1 panel per order unit. If you're closing multiple row termini, order one PE2VEP96 per end closure needed.

Q: What is the material of the PE2VEP96?

A: The PE2VEP96 is constructed from metal, providing dimensional stability under the pressure of high-density cable bundles.
