Patchbox One 30RU OS2 LC-SC Retractable Fiber Optic Patch Panel
The Patchbox One 30RU OS2 LC-SC is a revolutionary cable management solution for network racks, featuring 24 retractable fiber optic cassettes with 1.8m OS2 single-mode cables and LC-SC duplex connectors. Built with Corning ClearCurve Fiber technology, this innovative patch panel delivers high-performance networking with unrivaled flexibility and bend resistance, making installation and maintenance faster, cleaner, and more efficient than conventional fiber patching. Ideal for data centres, enterprise network environments, and server rooms where cable management and rack space optimization are critical.
Key Features
-
24 Retractable Cassettes: Each cassette features a 1.8m OS2 single-mode fiber cable that retracts to your desired length, eliminating excess cable clutter and maintaining a clean, organized rack
-
LC-SC Duplex Connectors: Ready for a wide range of fiber applications and configurations, compatible with standard LC and SC ports
-
Corning ClearCurve Technology: Ultra-flexible, bend-insensitive fiber optic cables deliver superior performance while withstanding tighter bends than traditional fiber
-
Covers Up to 30RU: The 1.8m cable length is perfectly sized for full-height cabinets and standard rack configurations
-
ISO/IEC 11801-1:2017 Certified: Meets international standards for structured cabling systems and comes with a 10-Year Warranty
-
Modular & Swappable: Cassettes can be easily swapped in seconds with no tools required, allowing you to adapt your rack as your infrastructure evolves
Ultra-Flexible, High-Performance Fiber
Built with OS2 RBS 9μ/125μ single-mode fiber compliant with G.657.B3 standards, the Patchbox One delivers exceptional performance for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. The Corning ClearCurve fiber is significantly more flexible than standard fiber, reducing the risk of signal loss or damage during installation and maintenance. The cables feature LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) yellow jacketing, making them safe for use in enclosed spaces and easy to identify for troubleshooting.
Faster Installation, Smarter Maintenance
Installation of the Patchbox One including patching all 24 cables is up to 8 times faster than conventional fiber patching methods. Typical maintenance work such as moves, adds, changes, or switch replacement is up to 10 times faster. The retractable cable design ensures no excess cable length clutters your rack, improving airflow and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections or cable damage.
Optimize Rack Space & Airflow
Unlike traditional fiber patch panels that require horizontal cable managers and leave excess cable loops hanging in the rack, the Patchbox One system saves up to 50% more rack space. By eliminating cable slack and conventional management hardware, you gain more usable rack units for active equipment. Better cable organization also improves airflow around your networking hardware, extending the lifespan of expensive switches, routers, and servers.
Mix, Match & Adapt
The modular cassette design allows you to mix fiber optic cassettes with copper Cat.6a cassettes or blank panels within the same Patchbox One Frame. This flexibility makes it easy to customize your rack for hybrid network environments and future-proof your infrastructure as technology evolves. Swap cassettes at any time without downtime or the need for a cabling contractor.
