Key Features
-
24 Retractable Cat.6a STP Cables: Each red cable extends to precisely the length you need, then retracts neatly into its cassette to eliminate cable clutter
-
10 Gigabit Ethernet Ready: Flat Cat.6a U/FTP cables meet ISO/IEC 11801 Channel Class Ea and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 Cat 6A Channel standards at 500MHz
-
PoE Capable: STP shielding supports Power over Ethernet (802.3af) for powering network devices directly through the cable
-
Space-Saving Design: Replaces bulky 2RU cable managers with a compact 1RU solution, freeing up 50% more rack space
-
10x Faster Installation & Maintenance: Retractable cables eliminate measuring, cutting, and zip ties for dramatically faster deployment and troubleshooting
-
10-Year Warranty: Both the frame and all cables are backed by Patchbox's comprehensive 10-year warranty for peace of mind
How It Works
Each of the 24 modular cassettes houses a single 1.8m retractable Cat.6a cable with a patented pulley mechanism. Simply pull the cable to your desired length, and it locks in place. When you need to reconfigure, the cable retracts smoothly without tangling. The gold-plated RJ45 connectors with snagless boots ensure reliable connections, while the flat cable design improves airflow throughout your rack.
Modular and Future-Proof
Need to change your setup? Individual cassettes can be swapped out in seconds without tools or downtime. Mix and match cable colours for instant visual identification of different network zones or VLANs. The Patchbox One system is designed for racks of all sizes and mounts easily on any standard 19-inch rack with included mounting rails.
Professional Performance
Built with 100% stranded copper conductors (AWG36) and high-quality PVC jacket, these cables deliver consistent 10GBase-T performance. The shielded twisted pair (STP) construction provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for high-density server environments and mission-critical applications.
