Ultimate Cable Management for Network Racks
The Patchbox One Cassette transforms network cable management from chaotic to professional. The retractable twisted pair cable extends only as far as needed, automatically storing excess length inside the cassette. This eliminates cable sag, improves airflow by up to 50%, and makes troubleshooting up to 10 times faster. The lightweight, flexible flat Cat.6a cable is easier to handle than traditional round cables, making installation and maintenance smoother for IT technicians.
Modular and Scalable Infrastructure
Need to adapt your rack? The Patchbox One system is built for change. Each cassette can be replaced or rearranged in seconds without any tools, allowing you to customize your patchbox.one Frame with up to 24 cassettes. Mix cable lengths (8RU, 30RU, 46RU), cable types (UTP, STP, Fiber Optic), and eight different colors to create a perfectly organized, color-coded network infrastructure. The cassettes are backward compatible with PATCHBOX Plus+/365 systems for seamless integration.
High-Performance Networking
Built for professional IT environments, the Cat.6a U/FTP STP cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 500MHz bandwidth. Gold-plated RJ45 shielded connectors ensure optimal signal integrity, while the 100% stranded copper AWG36 conductors provide flexibility without sacrificing performance. The cable is PoE (802.3af) capable, allowing you to power network devices directly through the Ethernet connection. All cables are RoHS compliant and tested to international standards.
Perfect for Professional Installations
Ideal for data centers, server rooms, network closets, AV installations, and broadcast environments where cable management and visual organization are critical. The red color is perfect for identifying critical connections, emergency power circuits, or specific network zones. The cassette fits the patchbox.one Frame, which mounts to standard 19-inch racks using the included /dev/mount (for 8RU cassettes) for both 2-post and 4-post rack configurations.
