Covers 30RU Rack Units
The 30RU variant with 1.8m cable is specifically designed for full-height network cabinets, providing the ideal cable length to reach from top to bottom of standard 42U racks. The super-flexible flat cable design is lighter and easier to handle than traditional round cables, making installation and maintenance faster while improving airflow within your rack.
Professional Network Infrastructure
Built with 100% stranded copper conductors (AWG36) and gold-plated RJ45 shielded plugs with snagless boots, this cassette delivers reliable connectivity for demanding enterprise environments. The flat Cat.6a U/FTP cable is RoHS compliant and tested to the highest industry standards, ensuring consistent performance for data centres, broadcast facilities, server rooms, and professional AV installations.
Modular Frame System
Each cassette is designed to fit into the patchbox.one Frame, which accommodates up to 24 cassettes. Build your ideal rack setup by mixing cable lengths (8RU, 30RU, 46RU), shielding types (STP/UTP), colors, and even fiber optic cassettes. The 30RU cassette requires mounting with the included mounting rails on the patchbox.one Frame. Cassettes are backward compatible with PATCHBOX Plus+ and 365 systems.
Faster Installation & Maintenance
Network technicians experience up to 8x faster installation and troubleshooting with the Patchbox system. No more measuring cables, cutting zip ties, or untangling messes. Simply pull the cable to your desired length and the retractable mechanism holds it in place. When reconfiguring, the cable retracts instantly back into the cassette. This innovation can reduce downtime by up to 90% compared to conventional patch panels.
