PATCHBOX 365 Cat6a U/FTP STP Cassette with 0.8m Black Patch Cable

Network administrators managing high-density 19-inch racks will appreciate the PATCHBOX 365 Cat6a Cassette. This modular unit combines a retractable 0.8-meter shielded patch cable with a patented cable management mechanism, keeping server cabinets tidy and reducing troubleshooting time. The cassette is pre-loaded with a black Cat6a U/FTP (STP) cable terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, ready for immediate deployment.

Why choose it

The PATCHBOX 365 Cassette eliminates cable slack and clutter. Its retractable design allows you to pull out exactly the length needed, then it automatically retracts when disconnected. This reduces airflow obstruction, simplifies cable tracing, and speeds up moves, adds, and changes. The shielded Cat6a cable ensures reliable 10G performance even in electrically noisy environments.

Ideal use cases

• High-density server racks and network cabinets
• Data centers requiring quick patching and reconfiguration
• Enterprise networks with 10GBASE-T switches and servers
• Structured cabling systems needing Cat6a channel compliance

Good to know

The cassette is designed for use with PATCHBOX 365 Frames (sold separately). It is available in multiple colours for easy identification. The flat cable is constructed with stranded copper conductors and a PVC jacket. The cassette is RoHS compliant and supports Power over Ethernet for devices like IP phones and cameras.
