Superior Fiber Performance
The Patchbox One 46RU cassette uses OS2 single-mode fiber that meets G.657.B3 standards with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing. The Corning ClearCurve fiber is significantly more flexible and durable than conventional fiber optics, reducing the risk of damage during installation and daily use. With support for 10/40/100 Gbps transmission speeds, this cassette is perfect for high-bandwidth applications in data centres, telecom, and enterprise networks.
Retractable Cable Management
Unlike traditional patch cables that create clutter and airflow restrictions, the Patchbox cassette features a spring-loaded retraction mechanism that allows you to pull out exactly the cable length you need and lock it in place with the integrated cable brake. When you need to reconfigure, simply release the brake and the cable retracts smoothly back into the cassette. This system has been tested for 300+ pulling cycles without performance degradation, ensuring long-term reliability in busy network environments.
Modular and Scalable Design
The Patchbox One cassette is fully compatible with the Patchbox One Frame (holds up to 24 cassettes) and is also backward compatible with Patchbox Plus+ and 365 frames. You can easily swap cassettes in seconds without tools, allowing you to adapt your rack configuration as your infrastructure evolves. Mix and match fiber cassettes with Cat.6a copper or blind panels for ultimate modularity. The 46RU cassette requires mounting rails for installation due to the longer cable length.
Built for Professional Installations
Each cassette is manufactured to exacting standards with ABS and RAL9001 housing and polyoxymethylene (POM) components for durability. The cassette dimensions are 18mm (W) × 40mm (H) × 600mm (D), and it operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C with humidity tolerance of 10-90%. The fiber cable is RoHS compliant and features colour-coded management for easy identification and troubleshooting.
