Eliminate Cable Chaos Forever
Say goodbye to tangled patch cables and time-consuming cable management.

The retractable pulley mechanism stores excess cable length inside the cassette, keeping your rack clean, organised, and professional-looking at all times.

When you need to repatch or troubleshoot, simply pull the cable to the required length and it locks automatically.

Modular and Scalable Design
The Patchbox One frame accepts up to 24 individual cassettes, allowing you to customise your setup exactly as needed. Need to change a cable colour for better organisation? Replace a damaged cable? Switch from copper to fibre? Simply swap out individual cassettes in seconds - no downtime, no hassle, no complete reinstallation required.
Optimised for Full-Height Racks
The 30RU version is specifically designed for full-height network cabinets with its 1.8-metre cable length covering up to 30 rack units. This makes it ideal for enterprise server rooms, data centres, and large network installations where patch cables need to reach from top to bottom of the rack. The white colour option provides a clean, professional appearance perfect for visible installations or colour-coded infrastructure.

Mounting the Patchbox One 30RU is straightforward with the included adjustable mounting rails. The system fits any standard 19-inch rack with threaded or square-punched holes, and supports both 2-post and 4-post rack configurations with installation depths up to 600mm.
