Network Cable PATCHBOX PONEX8STPSL RJ-45 Cat6a 0.8m Grey

In high-density server rooms where every rack unit counts, the PATCHBOX .one 8RU system brings order to cable chaos. This 0.8-meter Cat6a patch cable is part of a retractable cassette solution that keeps connections tidy and accessible. Each cassette houses a single cable that extends only as far as needed, then retracts cleanly—no more slack loops or cable managers. The grey jacket blends into standard rack aesthetics while the U/FTP shielding ensures reliable 10 Gigabit performance even in electrically noisy environments.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.8 m (retractable)
• Category: Cat6a (500 MHz bandwidth)
• Shielding: U/FTP (screened foiled twisted pair)
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Conductor: AWG 26/7 stranded copper
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T)
• PoE support: PoE and PoE++ (STP variant)

Why choose it

Retractable design eliminates excess cable length, improving airflow and reducing clutter. Installation and troubleshooting are up to 10x faster—simply pull the cable to the needed length, connect, and the cassette takes up the slack. This system reclaims up to 50% more rack space by removing the need for separate cable managers. The U/FTP shielding provides superior protection against alien crosstalk, making it ideal for high-density 10G deployments. With a 10-year warranty and compliance with ISO/IEC standards, it’s built for mission-critical reliability.

Ideal use cases

• Data center top-of-rack switching
• Server cabinet patching in colocation facilities
• High-density network closets
• Structured cabling with color-coded zones
• Environments requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes

Good to know

The PATCHBOX .one 8RU cassette covers up to 8 rack units with its 0.8 m reach. The cable is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 equipment. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, and the snagless boot protects the locking tab during frequent reconnections. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 60°C. Available in multiple colors for visual network segmentation.
