Flexible and Modular Network Infrastructure
Build a custom Patchbox one system by filling a compatible Frame (sold separately) with up to 24 cassettes in your choice of cable length, type, and colour. The patchbox.one / Cassette / 30RU is perfect for mid- to full-height network cabinets and server racks, providing 1.8m of reach with the convenience of retractable storage. When not in use, excess cable length retracts neatly into the cassette, reducing clutter and improving airflow. Swap cassettes in seconds to adapt your infrastructure as your network evolves.
High-Performance Ethernet for Data Centres and AV
This cassette features a flat, flexible Cat.6a U/FTP cable with 100% stranded copper conductors, RJ45 shielded connectors with gold-plated pins, and snagless boots for secure connections. The cable is tested to 500MHz bandwidth and supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it ideal for high-speed switches, servers, and AV equipment. The STP shielding ensures electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection in demanding environments, while PoE capability allows you to power IP cameras, access points, and other devices without separate power supplies.
Colour-Coded Organisation for Better Visibility
The white cable colour is part of Patchbox's eight-colour cable coding system, allowing IT technicians and installers to implement structured cabling standards and visually separate different network applications, VLANs, or zones. This improves troubleshooting speed and reduces human error during moves, adds, and changes in busy rack environments.
