PATCHBOX Patchcatch 0RU Cable Organizer for 19" Network Racks (4-Pack)
The PATCHBOX Patchcatch is an innovative zero rack unit (0RU) cable organizer designed to revolutionize cable management in 19" network racks. Unlike conventional horizontal or vertical cable managers that consume valuable rack space, the Patchcatch mounts directly under the mounting brackets of switches and patch panels, delivering optimal cable organization without using any rack units. Perfect for IT professionals and data center managers who need to maximize rack space while keeping cables neat and accessible.

Why Choose 0RU Cable Management?
Traditional cable managers consume precious rack space that could be used for active equipment. The Patchcatch eliminates this waste by providing vertical and horizontal cable organization without taking up any rack units. This means you can fit more switches, servers, and network equipment in the same cabinet while maintaining impeccable cable organization. Better still, improved cable routing enhances airflow throughout your rack, helping equipment run cooler and last longer.
Perfect for Modern IT Environments
Whether you're managing a corporate data center, educational institution network, or enterprise server room, the Patchcatch is optimized for fast-paced IT environments where space is at a premium. It's particularly effective when used alongside PATCHBOX retractable cable systems, but works equally well with any standard patch cables. IT technicians appreciate how the Patchcatch keeps cables organized and traceable, significantly reducing troubleshooting and maintenance time.

Installation & Use
The Patchcatch installs in seconds by simply mounting it under the mounting brackets of your network equipment. No tools required beyond standard rack installation hardware. Once installed, route your patch cables through the Patchcatch guides to keep them organized vertically along the side of each rack unit. This intuitive design ensures cables stay neat, traceable, and accessible for future moves, adds, or changes.
Space Savings Calculator
Conventional horizontal cable managers typically occupy 1RU per installation. In a 42RU rack with equipment across 30 rack units, you might use 10-15 cable managers, consuming 10-15 valuable rack units. By switching to Patchcatch 0RU cable organizers, you reclaim up to 50% more usable space for revenue-generating equipment while maintaining superior cable organization.
