Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CFPTR4CL has been identified with one direct substitute: CFPWR4CL. This substitution is valid based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the Panduit Mini-Com® series
• Functional Category: Both are single gang faceplates for keystone connectors
• Port Configuration: Both accommodate 4 ports
• Color Specification: Both feature clear polycarbonate construction
• Physical Dimensions: Identical length, width, and depth measurements
• Feature Set: Both include label cover/holder with labels
• Material Composition: Both utilize polycarbonate (PC) material

The primary distinction between these parts is the port direction orientation: the CFPTR4CL features straight port direction, while the CFPWR4CL features angled/sloped port direction. This difference accommodates different installation geometries while maintaining functional equivalence for 4-port faceplate applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CFPWR4CL is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete CFPTR4CL based on the following criteria:

Product Status: The CFPWR4CL maintains active product status with current manufacturing and distribution support, whereas the CFPTR4CL is obsolete and no longer produced.

Compliance & Certifications: The CFPWR4CL carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for modern applications. The ECCN classification of EAR99 indicates standard commercial availability.

Inventory Availability: The CFPWR4CL is currently stocked with 980 units in new original condition, ensuring supply continuity for immediate deployment.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical dimensional specifications, material composition, port count, and feature sets within the Mini-Com® series framework, supporting direct functional replacement in system designs.

The port direction difference (straight versus angled/sloped) represents a geometric variation that accommodates different installation orientations without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility within the keystone connector ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CFPWR4CL directly replace CFPTR4CL in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-port single gang faceplates within the Mini-Com® series with identical dimensions and material specifications. The port direction difference (straight versus angled/sloped) affects installation geometry but not functional compatibility with keystone connectors.

Q: What is the significance of the port direction difference?

A: Port direction determines the physical orientation of connector access. Straight ports (CFPTR4CL) provide direct perpendicular access, while angled/sloped ports (CFPWR4CL) accommodate installations where cable routing requires angular approach. Selection depends on the specific installation geometry and cable management requirements.

Q: Why is CFPTR4CL listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation. The CFPWR4CL represents the current active equivalent within the Mini-Com® series, maintaining the same functional specifications and feature set.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The CFPTR4CL packaging information is not specified in available data. The CFPWR4CL is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What compliance standards apply to the CFPWR4CL substitute?

A: The CFPWR4CL is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component distribution and use in regulated markets.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the CFPTR4CL and CFPWR4CL share identical dimensions: 5.728" length × 3.071" width × 0.791" depth (145.50mm × 78.00mm × 20.10mm), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in mounting applications.
