Blanks for Universal Faceplates

CommScope launched a new line of universal flush mounted faceplates and surface boxes in 2023. The universal  opening design allows CommScope M series, SL series and KJ series jacks to be installed in the same port.(Note the KJ series jacks require adapter 760248426 which is included with the jack.) Fewer material IDs means

easier management of stock and lead times.


Blanks are often required for unused ports. While M series blank inserts fit in the opening, they stand slightly proud of the faceplate surface as seen in the photo below. SL blank inserts (as shown in the foreground) are recommended for these faceplates.

Available in six colors to match our faceplates,
SL blank inserts are ordered in 25 packs:

  • Almond – 1116412-1
  • Ivory – 1-1116412-1
  • Black – 116412-2
  • ProWhite – 1-1116412-3
  • Gray – 1116412-4
  • Electric White – 760257711

 

Modern campuses depend on a resilient, scalable connectivity foundation that supports productivity, collaboration, safety, and operational efficiency. CommScope emphasizes that campus-scale networks are no longer just IT infrastructure; they are strategic assets that enable digital transformation across education, healthcare, corporate, industrial, government, and public environments.


To address the diverse requirements of these environments, CommScope focuses on solutions that deliver high bandwidth, secure connectivity, flexible architecture, and seamless integration of wired and wireless technologies. Their approach supports critical applications such as collaboration tools, surveillance, access control, remote learning, patient care systems, automation, and other emerging smart-campus technologies.


CommScope’s smart campus portfolio brings together fiber and copper infrastructure, automated infrastructure management, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and extended distance solutions to create connected, future-ready environments. By converging IT and operational technology (OT) networks, organizations can simplify management, accelerate deployment, improve sustainability, and build the foundation needed to support evolving business and operational demands.

Multi-tenant Data Centers Count on CommScope to Interconnect with Confidence

Among the most demanding environments for high-performance cabling infrastructure, multi-tenant data centers (MTDCs)—also called colocation data centers—serve enterprise, hyperscale and cloud customers with constantly-changing needs. Colocation comes with unique challenges, including management of data center interconnect (DCI) infrastructure as well as the advanced fiber structured cabling in each customer’s space.

Utilize the CommScope Drawing Templates/Visio Stencils

Shapes snap into place in an intelligent manner (e.g., panels snap to a discrete rack “U” increment) and many shapes are now re-configurable, making changes quick and easy. For instance, an information outlet is a single shape in a stencil (e.g., MGS-600-XXX) but with a simple right mouse button click, it may be changed to any one of the 13 colors that are offered. Changing the color displayed on the drawing will also change the respective data in the BOM automatically.
