Overview

The Panduit FRFWC24X4W12BL is a specialized component designed for creating complex horizontal cable management pathways. This four-way cross fitting is engineered to attach directly to Panduit's 24x4 channel and/or associated fittings, establishing a critical intersection point within your infrastructure. Its primary function is to facilitate a horizontal four-way cross, seamlessly transitioning to two distinct 12x4 exits. This configuration is ideal for scenarios requiring the distribution of cables from a larger trunk into two separate, smaller pathways. The FRFWC24X4W12BL is manufactured in the USA, ensuring adherence to stringent quality standards. For enhanced protection and a finished appearance, an optional split cover, model FRFWCCV24W12BL, is available for separate purchase. This fitting is compatible with the Panduit 24x4 channel system, providing a robust and reliable solution for organizing and directing cable runs in industrial, commercial, or data center environments. Its design prioritizes efficient space utilization and simplified pathway creation, making it an essential element for structured cabling systems. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39131705.
