Up to 10x Faster Installation and Maintenance
Every cable retracts to your desired length, with no measuring, no zip ties, and no cable sag. IT technicians can work significantly faster and downtimes can be reduced by up to 90%. The pulley-based retraction mechanism keeps cables neat, accessible, and ready for quick changes.
Superior Cable Performance
The flat Cat.6a U/FTP cable inside the cassette is made from 100% stranded copper with AWG36 conductors and a PVC jacket. It delivers up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 500MHz and is fully RoHS compliant. The shielded STP construction provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for high-density rack environments and industrial settings.
Optimized for 30RU Racks
The 1.8m cable length is specifically designed for full-height network cabinets covering up to 30 rack units. Whether you're patching from top to bottom or connecting mid-rack switches, the Patchbox One delivers the perfect cable length every time.
Build Your Custom Rack Setup
The Patchbox One cassette system is fully modular. Fill a Patchbox One Frame with up to 24 cassettes in any combination of cable types, lengths, and colours. Mix Cat.6a STP and UTP cassettes, or combine copper and fiber optic modules to match your exact infrastructure needs. Cassettes are backward compatible with PATCHBOX Plus+ and 365 frames.
Space-Saving Rack Design
By storing excess cable length where it doesn't get in the way and eliminating bulky cable managers, the Patchbox One frees up up to 50% more usable rack space. Improved airflow keeps your equipment cooler and extends hardware lifespan.
