CFPWR4IW Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CFPWR4IW is a 4-port single gang faceplate from Panduit Corp's Mini-Com® series, designed for keystone connector applications. This component features an off-white polycarbonate construction with angled/sloped port orientation and integrated label cover/holder functionality. The product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for installation and replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CFPWR4IW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the Mini-Com® series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing infrastructure
• Port Configuration: Identical 4-port single gang faceplate design with angled/sloped port orientation
• Mechanical Dimensions: Matching length (5.728"), width (3.071"), and depth (0.791") to ensure proper fit within standard wall gang boxes
• Material Specification: Polycarbonate (PC) construction for consistent electrical and thermal properties
• Functional Features: Label cover/holder with labels functionality must be present
• Connector Type: Keystone connector category compatibility

The CFPWR4CIG meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same series, maintaining identical mechanical and functional specifications while differing only in color designation (clear/gray versus white/off).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CFPWR4CIG is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete CFPWR4IW. Selection of CFPWR4CIG is supported by the following engineering factors:

• Product Status: CFPWR4CIG maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support, availability, and supply chain reliability
• Regulatory Compliance: CFPWR4CIG carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new installations and replacements
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical dimensional specifications and material composition ensure direct fit and functional equivalence within existing Mini-Com® infrastructure
• Functional Parity: Both parts provide identical 4-port single gang faceplate functionality with label management features

The only distinction between these parts is color designation. CFPWR4CIG is available in clear/gray, whereas CFPWR4IW was specified in white/off. This color difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a cosmetic consideration for installation aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CFPWR4CIG be used as a direct replacement for CFPWR4IW in existing installations?

A: Yes. CFPWR4CIG is mechanically and functionally equivalent to CFPWR4IW. Identical dimensions, port configuration, and material specifications ensure direct compatibility with Mini-Com® series infrastructure. The color difference (clear/gray versus white/off) is cosmetic and does not affect performance.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting CFPWR4IW?

A: CFPWR4IW is classified as obsolete. CFPWR4CIG is the active equivalent, ensuring continued product availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between CFPWR4IW and CFPWR4CIG?

A: CFPWR4CIG is certified as ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. CFPWR4IW compliance status was not specified in available documentation. CFPWR4CIG meets current environmental and regulatory requirements for new installations.

Q: Do both parts use the same packaging?

A: CFPWR4IW packaging was not specified. CFPWR4CIG is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 5.728" length × 3.071" width × 0.791" depth. Both use polycarbonate material and feature angled/sloped 4-port configurations within a single gang form factor.

Q: What is the base product number for these parts?

A: The base product number is CFPWR4, which represents the 4-port single gang faceplate platform within the Mini-Com® series. CFPWR4IW and CFPWR4CIG are color variants of this base design.
