Why choose it

The PATCHBOX PLUS+ cassette eliminates cable clutter and human error. Its retractable design ensures the exact length needed, reducing airflow obstruction and improving rack aesthetics. The shielded Cat.6A construction guarantees reliable 10G performance even in electrically noisy environments, while PoE++ readiness future-proofs your infrastructure for high-power devices.

Ideal use cases

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row patching
• Server rooms with frequent moves, adds, and changes
• High-density network cabinets where cable management is critical
• Installations requiring shielded cabling for EMI-sensitive equipment
• PoE-powered device connections (IP cameras, wireless access points, LED lighting)

Good to know

Each cassette is pre-terminated and tested to Cat.6A component standards, ensuring consistent performance. The LSZH jacket meets strict fire safety regulations for indoor installations. The cassette snaps into the PATCHBOX PLUS+ frame without tools, and cables can be replaced individually without disrupting adjacent ports.
