Overview

The Panduit MWBA1 (SKU: MWBA1) is a single gang wall board adapter designed for secure mounting of standard NEMA single gang faceplates in communication or data wiring applications. This adapter simplifies installation by requiring a precisely sized 3.75" (95.3mm) x 2.00" (50.8mm) drywall cutout, with a maximum drywall thickness of 0.75" (19.1mm). Avoid studs during installation to ensure proper fit. The MWBA1 features mounting tabs that rotate behind the drywall for a flush, secure attachment without additional hardware. It is not intended for use with electronic wiring devices, ensuring compatibility with electrical and low-voltage systems where standardized faceplates are required. Compatible with screw-on faceplates and junction boxes, the MWBA1 reduces installation time and eliminates the need for custom solutions in control panels, equipment enclosures, and building automation systems. Manufactured by Panduit, a trusted name in wiring accessories, this adapter is designed for clean, professional installations in new construction or retrofit applications.
