Overview

The Panduit PWB4X8WH 4" height x 8" width wire basket is a corrosion-resistant, modular cable management solution designed for data centers, commercial construction, and industrial infrastructure applications. Constructed from powder-coated steel, this white-finished basket supports high cable fill capacity while promoting airflow and heat dissipation—critical for maintaining optimal performance in dense cable pathways. The open wire design minimizes wire cutting during installation, reducing labor time and mitigating installation risks. Compatible with Panduit’s full wire basket system, the PWB4X8WH integrates seamlessly with modular straight sections, fittings, and accessories for flexible field configuration without special tools or complex fabrication. The basket’s rigid construction ensures stable mounting for overhead, underfloor, or wall-mounted installations, while its corrosion-resistant finish maintains structural integrity in demanding indoor and light industrial environments. With six pathway widths (2"–24") and three sidewall heights (2"–4"), the PWB4X8WH is part of a scalable system that supports copper communication cables, fiber optic distribution cables, and power/control cables. The basket’s 15.2 lb weight (6.895 kg) and 4.43" (112.4 mm) height provide a balance of strength and space efficiency, making it ideal for high-density cable routing where organization and accessibility are priorities.
