Forward Controls Design M-Lok Cable Management Panel, Extended Blk

The Forward Controls Design M-Lok Cable Management Panel in Extended length keeps your rifle's cables organized, protected, and secure without relying on friction or adhesive. Machined from solid 6061 aluminum and finished with Type III hard-coat anodizing, this is the cable routing solution FCD and Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC) designed together for shooters who demand precision and durability. Whether you're running a pressure switch, remote laser, or any other accessory cable on your AR platform, the PCM-L keeps everything routed internally where it belongs—out of the way, out of the mud, and impossible to snag or pull loose.

The Extended version spans two M-Lok slots (3.14") and features the same AA dimpled texture Forward Controls Design has used on their bolt catches, magazine releases, and forward assists since 2016—proven ergonomic detailing that feels right in your hand. The panel routes cables straight through, around 90-degree corners, or even full 180-degree turns, accommodating cables up to 0.140" in diameter—larger than most factory Surefire and Unity Tactical offerings. Once your cable is threaded and the panel is installed, the only way to move it is to physically remove the hardware. No slipping, no creep, no guessing.

Built and assembled in the USA, the PCM-L ships with all necessary M-Lok mounting hardware and pairs seamlessly with other FCD components. If you're building a fighting rifle where cable security and clean aesthetics matter, this is the kind of detail that separates purpose-built setups from stock configurations. Stack multiple panels side by side to manage several cables, or use just one—the choice is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cables will the Forward Controls Design cable management panel fit?

The PCM-L accommodates cables up to 0.140" in diameter, which covers most tactical pressure switches from Surefire and Unity Tactical. Standard Surefire cables average 0.115" diameter, while the thickest Unity cables run about 0.140", so you're covered either way.

Will this work on any AR-15 with M-Lok slots?

Yes. The Extended panel is M-Lok compatible and ships with all necessary hardware. It occupies two M-Lok slots on your handguard or rail, and can be mounted anywhere you have two consecutive slots available.

Does the panel come with mounting bolts and hardware?

Yes. The Forward Controls Design M-Lok Cable Management Panel includes M-Lok mounting hardware (one panel per package).

Can I route cables different ways, or does it lock them in one path?

The panel supports multiple routing options: cables can go straight through, make a 90-degree corner turn, or complete a full 180-degree turn. Once threaded and secured, the cable cannot be pulled out without removing the panel itself.
