Unmatched Flexibility & Performance
Built with Corning ClearCurve fiber technology, the Patchbox One OM4 cassette delivers exceptional bend performance and signal integrity, even in tight spaces. The OM4 multimode fiber supports high-speed data transmission up to 100 Gbps, making it ideal for modern data centre and enterprise network infrastructure. The cassette's retractable cable mechanism maintains optimal cable length at all times, improving airflow and reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.
Modular Cassette System for Maximum Efficiency
The Patchbox One cassette system allows you to mix and match fiber optic, Cat.6a, and blind panel cassettes within the same frame, adapting your rack setup as your network evolves. Each cassette snaps into the patchbox.one Frame (sold separately) without tools, enabling rapid deployment and reconfiguration. The integrated cable stopper allows you to lock the cable at the perfect length for each patch, while the retraction mechanism keeps excess cable safely stored.
Built for Data Centres & AV Installations
Designed for professional network environments, the Patchbox One 46RU cassette is perfect for large server racks, data centres, broadcast facilities, and AV installations. The 2.5m cable length covers extended vertical patching requirements, while the LC-SC connector combination ensures compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, and fiber patch panels. RoHS compliant and rated for operating temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, this cassette is built to perform in demanding environments.
