Overview

The Panduit FRVT12X4BL is a specialized fitting designed to facilitate a 90-degree vertical drop from a horizontal cable management run. This component is engineered to attach directly to 12x4 channel and/or associated fittings, providing a clean and organized transition for cabling. A key feature of the FRVT12X4BL is its integrated hinged door, which allows for secure access to the vertical drop while maintaining cable protection and containment. This fitting is manufactured by Panduit, a recognized leader in cable management solutions. The SKU for this product is FRVT12X4BL. To connect subsequent 6x4 vertical drop components, such as the FRIDT6X4BL or FRTR6X4BL, a coupler is required. Furthermore, the FRVT12X4BL is compatible with the optional snap-on cover, FRHC12BL6, when used in conjunction with the 12x4 channel, offering enhanced protection and a finished appearance. This fitting is manufactured in the USA, ensuring adherence to high production standards. Its primary function is to create a structured and efficient pathway for cables transitioning from horizontal to vertical orientations, crucial for maintaining organized and accessible infrastructure in industrial and commercial settings. The 12x4 dimension indicates its compatibility with specific Panduit channel sizes, making it a precise solution for system integration.
