PATCHBOX PONEX8STPBL 0.8m Cat6a U/FTP Blue Retractable Patch Cable System

Rack cabling chaos is a constant drain on IT efficiency—excess cable slack, tangled bundles, and time wasted tracing connections. The PATCHBOX PONEX8STPBL solves this with a retractable Cat6a cable system that keeps every run taut and organized, eliminating spaghetti and maximizing airflow.

Who is it for

Designed for data center managers, network engineers, and IT technicians who demand fast deployment, easy maintenance, and a clean rack environment. Ideal for server cabinets up to 8 rack units, where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable.

Main features

• Retractable cable design: each cassette holds 0.8 m of Cat6a U/FTP cable, extending only as needed and retracting to prevent slack.
• 24 cassettes included: covers 8 rack units, providing a complete cable management solution in one package.
• 10 Gbps performance: supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet with 500 MHz bandwidth, perfect for high-speed data transfer.
• PoE ready: supports PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE (PoE++) for powering devices like access points and cameras.
• Durable construction: stranded copper conductors (28 AWG) with gold-plated RJ45 connectors (50µm) and LSZH jacket for safety.
• Color-coded blue: enables visual identification and structured cabling across different IT zones.
• Quick installation: up to 10x faster than traditional cabling, reducing downtime by up to 90%.
• Space optimization: reclaims up to 50% more rack space by eliminating cable managers and excess slack.
• 10-year warranty: backed by PATCHBOX for long-term reliability.
