Panduit PDH110M 5-Pair 110 Punch Down Tool Replacement Head Assembly
Overview
The Panduit PDH110M is the factory-replacement head assembly for Panduit's 5-pair Pan-Punch® punch down tool, purpose-built for 110-style terminations on Panduit copper structured cabling systems. When the cutting blade or punch head wears out on your existing tool, this assembly restores it to factory performance without replacing the entire handle — the practical choice for contractors and technicians who terminate large volumes of horizontal cabling runs across structured cabling installations. At 8.88 inches overall length and 1.65 inches wide (41.9 mm), the PDH110M matches the original tool geometry exactly, so your existing technique and grip carry straight over.
Constructed from UL94 V-0 rated thermoplastic, this head assembly meets flame-retardancy requirements that matter in commercial plenum and data center environments where material compliance is reviewed during inspections. The black thermoplastic body handles the mechanical stress of repetitive 110-style terminations without deforming — a real-world concern when you're punching several hundred pairs across a structured wiring project.
Key Features
- Direct Pan-Punch® compatibility: The PDH110M is specifically designed for Pan-Punch® sockets, connectors, and 110-style systems — not a generic head. When you're working with Panduit 110 blocks and patch panels, this is the head that keeps your punch geometry and cut depth in spec. Using off-brand replacement heads on Panduit tooling risks inconsistent termination depth and conductor damage.
- UL94 V-0 thermoplastic construction: The V-0 flame rating means the material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds with no flaming drips — a requirement for tools used in drop ceilings, raised floors, and data center cable trays where code compliance matters. Not all replacement heads carry this rating.
- 8.88-inch overall length with 1.65-inch (41.9 mm) width: These dimensions match the original tool profile exactly, so the replacement head integrates without modification. Consistent tool geometry translates directly to consistent termination quality across the job.
- Single-unit packaging (Package Qty: 1), sold in cartons of 10: Available as individual units for single-tool maintenance or in 10-unit carton quantities for shops maintaining a fleet of punch tools — reduces per-unit cost when you're outfitting a full installation crew.
- Cross-reference compatibility: The PDH110M is a known cross-reference for competitor parts 68883, 788M2, 99031, and 99032. If you're currently buying a replacement head under one of those part numbers, the PDH110M is the Panduit equivalent — useful when consolidating to a single vendor for cable termination and management supplies.
- RoHS note — thermoplastic material: The product documentation indicates RoHS directive is not applicable to this item. This is relevant if your procurement or environmental compliance team flags RoHS status on all ordered components — the thermoplastic construction of this head assembly is outside the directive's scope for this part type.
Integration & Compatibility
The PDH110M is engineered exclusively for the Panduit 5-pair Pan-Punch® punch down tool. It is compatible with Pan-Punch® sockets, connectors, and 110-style systems — the standard termination format found on 110 wiring blocks, patch panels, and keystone jacks used in horizontal copper cabling infrastructure. If your installation uses 66-block or Krone-style terminations, this head assembly is not applicable; those formats require different punch profiles. Confirm your existing tool handle is the Panduit 5-pair Pan-Punch® platform before ordering. For teams sourcing full Panduit Pan-Punch tool systems or building out copper termination kits, the PDH110M pairs with the matching Panduit handle sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What tool handle does the PDH110M replacement head fit?
A: The PDH110M is designed specifically for the Panduit 5-pair Pan-Punch® punch down tool. It is compatible with Pan-Punch® sockets, connectors, and 110-style systems. It does not fit 66-block or Krone-style punch tools.
Q: What competitor part numbers does the PDH110M cross-reference?
A: The PDH110M is a known equivalent to competitor parts 68883, 788M2, 99031, and 99032. If you've been ordering under one of those numbers, the PDH110M is the Panduit direct replacement.
Q: Is the PDH110M RoHS compliant?
A: Per Panduit's product documentation, the RoHS directive is listed as not applicable to the PDH110M. If your procurement process requires explicit RoHS status, verify with your compliance team whether this exemption satisfies your project requirements.
Q: Can I buy the PDH110M in bulk for a crew?
A: Yes. The PDH110M ships as a single unit (Package Qty: 1) and is available in carton quantities of 10, which reduces per-unit cost when maintaining multiple tools across an installation crew.
Q: What is the flame rating of the PDH110M head assembly material?
A: The thermoplastic construction meets UL94 V-0 flame rating — it self-extinguishes rapidly with no flaming drips, making it appropriate for use in plenum spaces, raised floors, and data center environments where material fire ratings are inspected.
The PDH110M is one of those consumable parts that structured cabling crews tend to understock until they're mid-job with a worn head and a block field left to terminate. The UL94 V-0 thermoplastic rating on this assembly is the spec I'd point procurement teams to — it's not just a durability claim, it's a compliance checkpoint for any installation in a commercial plenum or data center raised floor where the AHJ will review material ratings during inspection. Keep a few of these on the shelf before starting a large horizontal run.
Technical Highlights:
- UL94 V-0 flame rating: Self-extinguishing thermoplastic with no flaming drip characteristic — meets fire material requirements for plenum, raised-floor, and above-ceiling cabling environments where code compliance is audited.
- Precise tool geometry (8.88" L × 1.65" W): Exact OEM dimensions mean no adjustment period after swapping the head — punch depth and termination consistency stay consistent from the first block after replacement.
- Cross-references 4 competitor part numbers (68883, 788M2, 99031, 99032): If your shop has been sourcing these heads under a competitor SKU, the PDH110M consolidates your supply to a single Panduit line item without a re-qualification process.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your handle is specifically the Panduit 5-pair Pan-Punch® platform before ordering — the PDH110M is not a universal 110 head and won't seat correctly on non-Panduit handles or 66-block / Krone-profile tools.
- The carton quantity is 10 units; if you're ordering for a single tool refresh, you're buying a single unit (Package Qty: 1) — worth confirming your cart quantity before checkout on multi-tool orders to avoid short-shipping a crew.
The PDH110M is the right stock item for structured cabling contractors running Panduit 110-style copper terminations at scale — enterprise horizontal runs, data center cross-connects, or education/healthcare campus wiring projects where Pan-Punch® tooling is already standardized across the crew.
