Revolutionary Cable Management
The Patchbox ONE transforms messy, time-consuming rack installations into streamlined efficiency. Each of the 24 cables is housed in its own modular cassette with a retractable pulley mechanism that automatically manages excess cable length. This eliminates cable spaghetti, improves airflow for cooler equipment operation, and reduces server downtimes by up to 90%. The grey STP shielded cables provide excellent electromagnetic interference protection for sensitive network environments.
High-Performance Networking
These flat Cat.6a cables deliver up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and meet strict industry standards including ISO/IEC 11801 Channel Class Ea and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 Cat 6A Channel specifications. The AWG36 stranded copper conductors with 500MHz bandwidth ensure reliable high-speed data transmission. STP (shielded twisted pair) construction with RJ45 gold-plated connectors provides superior signal integrity and protection from crosstalk and EMI.
Modular and Future-Proof
The Patchbox ONE Frame accommodates 24 individual cassettes that can be customised to your exact requirements. Need to adapt your infrastructure? Simply swap out cassettes in seconds without tools or downtime. Mix and match cable types, lengths, and colours as your network evolves. The 30RU version with 1.8m cables is optimised for full-height network cabinets, while shorter 8RU and longer 46RU options are available for different rack configurations.
Perfect For
- Data centres requiring professional cable management
- Enterprise server rooms with high-density networking
- IT departments seeking faster maintenance and troubleshooting
- Network installers looking to save time and improve presentation
- Facilities where airflow optimisation is critical
