Revolutionary Cable Management
The Patchbox One system transforms traditional fiber patching with its innovative retractable cassette design. Each cassette stores a 1.8m OM4 fiber cable that extends to your desired length and automatically retracts when disconnected. This eliminates the need for cable managers and provides up to 50% more usable rack space. Network technicians report up to 10x faster installation and troubleshooting times compared to conventional fiber cabling methods.
High-Performance OM4 Multi-Mode Fiber
Built with OM4 RBS 50µ/125µ multi-mode fiber that meets ISO/IEC 11801-1:2017 standards, this cassette supports:
-
10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 550 meters
-
40 Gigabit Ethernet up to 150 meters
-
100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 150 meters
The Erika Violet LSZH jacket provides low smoke, zero halogen protection for safe installation in occupied spaces, and the cable is RoHS compliant for environmental responsibility.
Modular System Design
The cassette is designed to fit into the Patchbox One Frame (sold separately), which accommodates up to 24 cassettes. Mix and match fiber optic cassettes with Cat.6a copper cassettes or blind panels to create a custom network patching solution that adapts as your infrastructure evolves. The 18mm width allows for high-density installations while maintaining easy access for patching.
Professional-Grade Construction
Engineered with ABS cassette profiles in RAL9001 and Polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic parts, the cassette withstands demanding data center environments. Rated for -20°C to 60°C operating temperatures and 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity, it delivers reliable performance in variable conditions.
