patchbox.one – Organisation and efficiency in the network cabinet
The patchbox.one was developed by IT technicians for professional use and ensures permanently organised cabling within the rack. Keep track of everything and eliminate cable clutter for good.
As an all-in-one cable management solution, the patchbox.one combines 24 retractable Cat.6a or fibre optic cables whilst replacing traditional patch panels. The well-designed system enables installation and maintenance to be up to ten times faster. In combination with the Patchcatch, it also allows for up to 50% more usable space in the rack.
The patented and multi-award-winning system helps both SMEs and large enterprises to organise, standardise and future-proof their IT infrastructure efficiently.
Efficient cable management for structured network installations
Simpler network installation
Structured cabling is a key requirement for high-performance, fault-tolerant network infrastructures. The patchbox.one is a compact all-in-one solution that significantly simplifies installation, operation and maintenance within the network cabinet.
The patchbox.one integrates 24 pull-out Cat.6a or fibre optic cables into a single system, whilst simultaneously replacing traditional patch panels. This not only makes the cabling more organised, but also significantly reduces the installation effort. Networks can be installed and adapted up to ten times faster.
Faster maintenance, fewer outages
The system offers clear advantages during ongoing operation: Changes to the cabling, expansions or the replacement of switches can be carried out quickly and without time-consuming reconnection. This reduces sources of error and minimises downtime.
Structured cabling that is accessible at all times shortens service calls and can reduce downtime by up to 90% – a key factor for cost-effective IT infrastructures.
More space in the network cabinet
The integrated 0U Patchcatch eliminates the need for additional patch panels. This allows the available space in the rack to be used much more efficiently – with up to 50% more available space compared to conventional cabling.
Clear and flexible
Optional ID labels allow individual cassettes to be clearly identified, ensuring maximum clarity in the network cabinet. At the same time, the system remains flexible: the patchbox.one has a modular design, is customisable and is compatible with existing PATCHBOX Plus+ and PATCHBOX 365 cassettes.
For scalable IT infrastructures
The patchbox.one is suitable for businesses of all sizes looking to professionally structure, standardise and make their network scalable – from small IT environments to complex data centre installations.
Fully customisable and modularly expandable

The patchbox.one is designed as a fully modular system and can be tailored to meet specific requirements within the network cabinet. At its heart is the frame, which accommodates up to 24 cable cassettes and can be mounted in standard 19-inch racks without the need for tools. The cassettes themselves can be freely selected and can be swapped or reconfigured at any time – without the need for modification or downtime.
A range of cable types is available, such as Cat.6a or fibre optic (single-mode and multi-mode), along with different lengths and several connector variants (e.g. RJ45, LC-LC or LC-SC). Colour coding is also possible to further improve organisation within the rack.
This modular principle creates numerous combination possibilities, allowing both pre-configured systems to be deployed and customised solutions to be put together. At the same time, the system remains flexible in the long term: cassettes can be swapped, added to or rearranged within seconds. Furthermore, the patchbox.one is backwards compatible and also supports older PATCHBOX cassettes, enabling investment protection and easy expansion.
The result is a scalable cable management system that grows with the demands of the IT infrastructure and can be adapted to new circumstances at any time.
