This modular system allows you to customize your rack setup with different cable lengths, types (STP/UTP), and colours to match your exact infrastructure needs. Need to adapt your rack? Simply swap any cassette in seconds with no tools required and no network downtime.
High-Performance Cat.6a Shielded Cable
The flat Cat.6a U/FTP cable inside the 8RU cassette is 0.8m long and engineered for superior performance in demanding network environments. It features 100% stranded copper conductors (AWG36), 500MHz bandwidth, and a gold-plated RJ45 shielded plug with snagless boot for reliable connectivity. The shielded construction provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for high-density rack installations in data centers, server rooms, and network closets across Australia.
Perfect for Compact Racks and Server Cabinets
With a 0.8m cable length covering up to 8 rack units, this cassette is engineered for smaller server cabinets and compact network racks where space efficiency is critical. The retractable design means you'll reclaim up to 50% more rack space compared to traditional cable management systems, while improving airflow and reducing cooling costs. IT technicians report up to 10x faster installation and troubleshooting times, and downtimes can be reduced by up to 90%.
Backward Compatible and Future-Ready
The Patchbox One Cassette is backward compatible with Patchbox Plus+ and 365 systems, protecting your investment if you're upgrading from an older Patchbox system. The cassette measures just 18mm wide × 40mm high × 365mm deep, fitting seamlessly into standard 19-inch rack frames. It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C and is fully RoHS compliant for environmental responsibility.
