Panduit CM35MSCIWY Pan-Net Stereo Coupler Module 3.5mm Off White

Overview

The Panduit CM35MSCIWY is a 3.5mm stereo coupler module from the Pan-Net® audio-video line, designed to extend or terminate 3.5mm stereo audio connections within structured AV installations. At 0.72" tall and 0.61" wide, this compact module snaps into compatible Panduit faceplate and modular furniture outlets, keeping AV signal paths clean and organized in conference rooms, training spaces, huddle rooms, and classroom deployments where 3.5mm audio is part of the infrastructure.

Built from ABS/brass construction, the CM35MSCIWY delivers the mechanical reliability and signal integrity that structured cabling environments demand — not a consumer barrel adapter, but a panel-mount coupler engineered to sit permanently in a wall plate or surface raceway fitting.

Key Features

• ABS/Brass Construction: The brass contact interfaces resist corrosion and maintain low-resistance signal paths over repeated plug/unplug cycles — important in shared AV spaces where the coupler sees daily use. ABS housings hold dimensional tolerances for consistent snap-fit retention in Panduit modular inserts.
• Compact Modular Form Factor (0.72" H × 0.61" W): These dimensions are sized to fit standard Panduit Pan-Net modular openings, letting you mix stereo audio ports alongside Ethernet, HDMI, or USB-A modules in a single faceplate without sacrificing adjacent port positions.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS substance restrictions — required for installations in schools, government facilities, and any EU-destined project where materials compliance documentation is part of project closeout.
• CE Compliant: CE marking confirms the module meets applicable European conformity requirements, supporting deployments in international facilities or multi-site enterprise rollouts with European locations.
• Off White Color: Matches standard off-white Panduit faceplates and furniture inserts, so the finished wall plate presents a uniform appearance rather than a mix of beige-and-white mismatches that flag sloppy installs to end-user facilities managers.
• Single-Unit Packaging, 10-Unit Carton: Ships individually (Package Qty: 1) within a 10-unit carton — convenient for small adds or single-room installs without being forced to buy in bulk, while the 10-pack carton keeps per-unit cost rational on larger rollouts across multiple rooms or floors.

Integration and Compatibility

The CM35MSCIWY is part of the Pan-Net® audio-video module family. It is designed to install into Panduit modular faceplate and furniture systems that accept Pan-Net AV modules — the same mounting ecosystem used by Panduit's Ethernet keystone modules, HDMI couplers, and USB inserts. This makes it straightforward to configure mixed-media wall plates in a single unified system rather than mixing hardware from multiple vendors.

For integrators standardized on Panduit structured cabling products, the CM35MSCIWY fits within the same audio-video module family as other Pan-Net inserts, supporting consistent faceplate builds across a campus or building. If you are planning a broader AV infrastructure, review the AV cabling and connectivity guide to confirm module compatibility with your chosen faceplate series before ordering. For installations that also require network switching infrastructure or structured cabling components, Panduit's modular system allows all connections to terminate in a single, organized faceplate.

Confirm faceplate and furniture series compatibility with Panduit's Pan-Net module selection guide before specifying — not every Panduit faceplate accepts every Pan-Net insert, and module opening dimensions vary by product line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What connector type does the CM35MSCIWY support?

A: The CM35MSCIWY is a 3.5mm stereo coupler module — it accepts standard 3.5mm (1/8") TRS stereo audio plugs on both sides, functioning as a panel-mount female-to-female pass-through for stereo audio signals.

Q: What are the dimensions of the CM35MSCIWY?

A: The module measures 0.72" (18.3mm) in height and 0.61" (15.4mm) in width, sized to fit Panduit Pan-Net modular faceplate openings.

Q: Is the CM35MSCIWY RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The CM35MSCIWY meets RoHS and CE compliance standards as stated in the product specifications, making it suitable for installations with materials compliance requirements.

Q: What is the material construction of the CM35MSCIWY?

A: The module is constructed from ABS plastic housing with brass contacts, providing dimensional stability for modular snap-fit retention and corrosion-resistant signal interfaces.

Q: How many units come in a carton?

A: The CM35MSCIWY ships in individual single-unit packages (Package Qty: 1). Cartons contain 10 units, suitable for multi-room or multi-port rollouts.

Q: Does the CM35MSCIWY work with all Panduit faceplates?

A: The CM35MSCIWY is designed for Panduit Pan-Net modular systems, but not every Panduit faceplate accepts every Pan-Net module. Verify opening dimensions and module series compatibility with Panduit's selection guide before ordering.

The CM35MSCIWY is one of those components that shows up on every mixed-media faceplate spec sheet and rarely gets a second thought — until a field tech discovers the faceplate series on site doesn't match the module footprint ordered. The 0.61" width and 0.72" height are specific to Panduit's Pan-Net modular opening standard; that's not a universal AV keystone dimension, so confirm your faceplate series accepts Pan-Net inserts before you cut the purchase order.

Technical Highlights:

• Brass Contacts: Brass-interface couplers hold up to repeated plug cycles without the oxidation issues you get on cheaper zinc or plated-steel contacts — relevant in shared AV spaces like training rooms where the port gets used daily.
• ABS Housing (0.72" H × 0.61" W): The housing dimensions are engineered for snap retention in Panduit modular inserts, not friction fit. You get a stable, flush-mount port that won't back out of the faceplate when someone tugs a cable.
• RoHS and CE Compliance: Both marks are on the spec sheet — useful when the GC's closeout package requires materials compliance documentation, especially on government, education, or EU-site projects.

Deployment Considerations:

• The CM35MSCIWY ships as a single unit (Package Qty: 1) within a 10-unit carton — order at the carton level when deploying across multiple rooms to keep per-unit cost down, but single-unit ordering works fine for small adds or spares.
• Pan-Net module compatibility is not universal across all Panduit faceplate lines. The module opening dimensions on older or furniture-specific Panduit plates may differ — pull the faceplate datasheet and cross-reference the module opening spec before finalizing your BOM.

The CM35MSCIWY is the right call for integrators standardizing AV terminations on Panduit Pan-Net faceplates in conference rooms, classrooms, and huddle spaces — where a consistent, branded modular system matters for long-term serviceability and clean aesthetics. It is not a universal-fit coupler; the value is specifically in the Pan-Net ecosystem play.
