-
PoE Support: STP cables support PoE (802.3af) for powering devices directly through the network

All-in-One Cable Management Solution
The Patchbox ONE features 24 modular cassettes with retractable flat Cat.6a cables stored inside. Each cable extends only as far as needed, then retracts neatly back into its cassette. This means your rack stays tidy, airflow is maximized, and cable tracing is instant. The white STP shielded cables provide excellent EMI protection and are ideal for environments requiring electromagnetic interference shielding.
Engineered for Compact Environments
The 8RU version is perfect for smaller server cabinets, with 0.8m (2.6 ft) cables that can cover up to 8 rack units. The system fits 2-post and 4-post racks with just 365mm installation depth, and mounts easily using the included /dev/mount hardware - a toolless cage nut alternative that makes installation faster than ever.
