Panduit CPPA72FMWBLY 72-Port Flush Mount Modular Patch Panel

Overview

The Panduit CPPA72FMWBLY is a 72-port angled flush-mount modular patch panel from the Pan-Net™ copper cabling line, built to house Mini-Com™ keystone modules in standard 19-inch rack and cabinet installations. At 3U (88.13 mm / 3.47 inches tall) and 19 inches wide (482.6 mm), it fits squarely into EIA-standard 483 mm and 584 mm racks — meaning no adapter plates, no surprises at installation time. The panel is constructed from cold-rolled steel (CRS), finished in black, and ships as a single unit. If you're building out or expanding a structured copper patch field in a data closet, server room, or security head-end, the CPPA72FMWBLY gives you a high-density, modular foundation that doesn't lock you into pre-terminated ports.

Key Features

• 72 Mini-Com™ Module Positions: Seventy-two open keystone slots accept any standard Panduit Mini-Com module — Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, fiber, coax, or media-specific inserts. This matters in mixed-infrastructure environments (IP cameras, access control readers, VoIP endpoints) where a single panel can terminate multiple cable types without dedicated hardware for each run.
• Angled Flush-Mount Design: The angled port orientation eases cable management on the front face, reducing sharp bend radii at patch connections. Flush mounting means the panel sits flush with the rack rails — no forward protrusion that blocks airflow or conflicts with adjacent 1U gear in tight cabinets.
• 3U Form Factor (88.13 mm / 3.47 in): Three rack units for 72 ports works out to 24 ports per U — competitive density for a modular panel. In a 12U wall cabinet, you can terminate up to 288 ports using four of these panels and still have headroom for active equipment.
• 19-Inch Rack Compatibility (482.6 mm wide): Designed for both 483 mm (19-inch EIA) and 584 mm-depth racks. No bracket adapters required for standard network cabinets, security equipment racks, or telecommunications enclosures.
• Cold-Rolled Steel (CRS) Construction: CRS provides the rigidity needed to handle repeated patch moves without the panel flexing or racking. In high-move-add-change environments — security systems, enterprise LAN closets, broadcast — panel durability directly affects long-term termination quality.
• Adhesive Label Identification: The panel accepts adhesive labels across the port field, letting you document circuit IDs, room numbers, camera IDs, or network node designations directly on the panel face. No separate label holder hardware required.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements — relevant for installations in facilities with environmental compliance mandates, government projects, or exports to EU markets.
• Pan-Net™ Product Line: Part of Panduit's Pan-Net copper systems catalog, which means the CPPA72FMWBLY is designed to integrate with Panduit's broader modular patch panel and structured cabling ecosystem — consistent termination standards across the installation.

Integration & Compatibility

The CPPA72FMWBLY is a passive modular panel — its performance characteristics are determined entirely by the Mini-Com™ modules you populate it with. For IP security camera infrastructures, Cat6 or Cat6A Mini-Com inserts support PoE+ and PoE++ runs to PTZ cameras, multi-sensor units, and high-draw edge devices. Pair this panel with a managed PoE switch upstream and you have a clean, labeled, serviceable copper patch point between field runs and active equipment.

The panel fits 483 mm and 584 mm rack/cabinet depths. Verify your cabinet's available U space before ordering — at 3U, this panel requires three consecutive open rack units. Carton quantity is 10 units per carton, so bulk orders for large deployments or multi-site rollouts ship efficiently. Each order unit is a single panel (package quantity: 1).

For deployments requiring a complete structured cabling solution, this panel pairs naturally with Panduit's Mini-Com modules, cable management accessories, and rack systems within the Pan-Net ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What modules are compatible with the CPPA72FMWBLY?

A: The CPPA72FMWBLY accepts Panduit Mini-Com™ keystone modules. The panel has 72 open slots — you populate them with the Mini-Com module type appropriate to your cabling category and application (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, fiber, coax, etc.). Modules are sold separately.

Q: What rack sizes does the CPPA72FMWBLY fit?

A: The panel is 19 inches (482.6 mm) wide and is designed for standard 483 mm (EIA 19-inch) and 584 mm racks and cabinets. No adapter hardware is required for these standard rack widths.

Q: How many rack units does the CPPA72FMWBLY occupy?

A: The panel occupies 3U of rack space (88.13 mm / 3.47 inches in height), providing 24 ports per rack unit — suitable for high-density copper termination in server rooms, data closets, and security head-end enclosures.

Q: Is the CPPA72FMWBLY RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The CPPA72FMWBLY meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance requirements, making it suitable for installations with environmental regulatory mandates or EU market requirements.

Q: What material is the CPPA72FMWBLY panel constructed from?

A: The panel body is cold-rolled steel (CRS), finished in black. CRS provides the structural rigidity needed to handle repeated patch operations without flex or deformation over the life of the installation.

Q: Can the CPPA72FMWBLY be labeled for port identification?

A: Yes. The panel supports adhesive label identification across the port field, allowing circuit IDs, camera numbers, room designations, or network node references to be documented directly on the panel face without separate labeling hardware.
