Panduit P2VAEP2WH Adjustable End of Row Panel for PatchRunner 2 Vertical Cable Managers
Overview
The Panduit P2VAEP2WH is a powder-coated steel end-of-row panel engineered specifically for PR2V and PE2V PatchRunner™ 2 vertical cable managers. Standing 84 inches (2133 mm) tall and 12 inches (304.8 mm) wide, it closes off the open face of a vertical cable manager run — giving you a clean, finished aisle termination that also discourages accidental cable disturbance during adjacent rack work. If you are deploying Panduit PatchRunner 2 vertical managers in a structured cabling row, this panel is the purpose-built cap that completes the installation correctly rather than leaving an exposed cable trough at the end of the row.
The adjustable design accommodates the 30-to-36-inch depth range of PR2V/PE2V configurations, so you are not forced to specify a fixed-depth part when your row's actual depth sits anywhere in that window. One panel ships per package (P2VAEP2WH, package quantity 1), and the white powder-coat finish matches standard white rack environments without requiring field painting.
Key Features
- Full 84-inch (2133 mm) height coverage: Matches the full vertical span of a 45RU PR2V/PE2V manager. A partial-height panel would leave cable bundles exposed at the top or bottom — this one covers the entire column so nothing is left open to snagging or unauthorized access.
- Adjustable depth range, 30–36 inches: Instead of stocking separate SKUs for each row depth, the adjustable panel adapts across the PR2V/PE2V depth envelope. Useful when your rows are built to slightly different depths across data center pods or when future re-racking shifts the manager depth.
- 12-inch (304.8 mm) panel width: Sized to close the open face of the vertical manager cleanly — wide enough to provide a flush, finished appearance without encroaching on adjacent rack bay space.
- Powder-coated steel construction: Steel gives the panel structural rigidity that plastic alternatives cannot match in high-density cable environments. The powder-coat finish is durable against the repeated contact that happens in active cable management rows during moves, adds, and changes.
- White (WH) finish: Matches white rack enclosures and cable management environments directly from the box. Eliminates the visual mismatch that comes from installing grey accessories in a white-finish deployment.
- RoHS compliant: Meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements — relevant for enterprise and government deployments where materials compliance documentation is required at procurement.
- Purpose-built for PR2V/PE2V compatibility: Designed exclusively for PatchRunner 2 vertical cable managers. Using a generic end panel risks fit gaps, misaligned mounting points, and a finished appearance that fails data center aesthetics standards. This panel eliminates all three risks.
Integration and Compatibility
The P2VAEP2WH is designed for use with Panduit PR2V and PE2V vertical cable managers in the PatchRunner 2 product family. It functions as the end-of-row termination panel — not a standalone enclosure or rack component. If your row uses a different Panduit vertical manager family or a third-party cable trough, this panel will not be the correct fit; consult the PR2V/PE2V product family documentation to confirm row compatibility before ordering.
Installation integrates directly with the existing PR2V/PE2V hardware attachment points. No separate mounting hardware is listed in the package contents beyond the panel itself (package quantity 1). Verify your row's depth falls within the 30–36-inch adjustment range before specifying — rows deeper than 36 inches or shallower than 30 inches will require a different end panel. For a complete structured cabling row, pair with appropriate Panduit horizontal cable managers and patch panels to maintain consistent cable pathway management from end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What vertical cable manager models is the P2VAEP2WH compatible with?
A: The P2VAEP2WH is designed specifically for use with Panduit PR2V and PE2V PatchRunner™ 2 vertical cable managers. It is not a universal end panel and is not designed for other Panduit cable manager families or third-party products.
Q: What depth range does the P2VAEP2WH adjust to?
A: The panel is adjustable to accommodate rows with depths between 30 and 36 inches. If your PR2V/PE2V row falls outside this range, a different end panel specification will be required.
Q: What is the overall height of the P2VAEP2WH?
A: The panel stands 84 inches (2133 mm) tall, covering the full height of a 45RU PatchRunner 2 vertical cable manager run.
Q: Is the P2VAEP2WH RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The P2VAEP2WH meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements as documented in the product specifications.
Q: How many panels are included per order?
A: One (1) end panel is included per package. Each end of a cable manager row requires its own panel, so plan accordingly when ordering for multi-row installations.
Q: What finish and color does the P2VAEP2WH come in?
A: The panel is powder-coated steel in white. It is intended for white-finish rack environments to provide a consistent, professional appearance without field painting.
The P2VAEP2WH does one job — close the open end of a PatchRunner 2 vertical cable manager row cleanly — and the 84-inch (2133 mm) height spec is the reason it matters. A shorter or generic panel leaves the top and bottom of the cable trough exposed, which creates real problems on a live row: cables migrate out of the trough during MAC activity, and the open face creates a visually messy aisle termination that facility managers and auditors notice immediately.
Technical Highlights:
- Adjustable 30–36-inch depth: Covers the full PR2V/PE2V depth envelope in a single SKU. In practice, this means you can order one part number for an entire data center floor rather than splitting POs across depth variants — a small procurement detail that adds up across large deployments.
- Powder-coated steel construction: The steel substrate handles the incidental contact loads that happen in active cable rows. Plastic end panels crack under the same conditions; this one won't deform from a cart impact or a cable pull.
- RoHS compliance: Documented compliance is a procurement checkbox in enterprise and government environments. Having it on the spec sheet avoids a back-and-forth with procurement when the materials compliance questionnaire arrives.
Deployment Considerations:
- Each row end requires one panel — a two-ended row needs two P2VAEP2WH units. It ships as a package quantity of 1, so confirm your row count before submitting the purchase order to avoid a second shipment delay.
- The depth adjustment range is 30–36 inches. If your PR2V/PE2V rows were configured at 24-inch depth (a common legacy spec), this panel will not fit — you will need to identify the correct depth-matched end panel before ordering.
The P2VAEP2WH is the right call for any white-finish data center or IDF room where PatchRunner 2 vertical managers terminate at row ends and the installation standard requires a finished, closed cable pathway — specifically structured cabling buildouts where open trough ends would fail a post-installation walkthrough.
