PATCHBOX

Comtek now supplies PATCHBOX® the most sophisticated and easy-to-use patch management system available. The solution saves time whilst improving management and esthetics.

The PATCHBOX® is the most modern cabling system for network cabinets and makes conventional cable guides and patch cables simply look old. Thousands of satisfied customers worldwide rely on this patented innovation to make their IT more efficient, faster and more economical.

High-density network patch panel with colourful structured cabling in black server rack, showcasing organised red and blue Ethernet cables used in IT infrastructure.

The PATCHBOX® is fully modular and consists basically of a PATCHBOX® Frame that offers 24 cassette slots. These slots can be filled up individually with different types of cable cassettes. We currently offer two types of frames: One for full-size racks called the “PATCHBOX® Plus+ Frame“ and one for wall cabinets, the “PATCHBOX® 365 Frame“.

The PATCHBOX® Cassettes contain flat shielded or unshielded Cat.6a (STP/UTP) or fiber optic (OS2/OM4) cables. We have 3 different cable lengths: 0.8m (8RU), 1.8m (30RU) and for the rare event you need to patch from top to bottom we offer a special solution called the “PATCHBOX® Long Range Cassette” with a max. cable length of 2.5m (46RU).

PATCHBOX modular system for custom patch panel assembly with twisting pairs cables.

The flat and twisted Cat.6a cables are tested to ISO/IEC 11801 Channel Class Ea and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 Cat 6A Channel standards, are RoHS compliant and capable of PoE (STP: PoE / UTP: PoE++ Type 3). They are easier to bend, take up less space and are less bulky to handle. Patch cords for both the PATCHBOX® Plus+ and PATCHBOX® 365 are available in eight different colours: black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, grey (STP only) and violet.

Fiber optic cables deliver significantly more speed than copper cables. 10, 40, 100 gigabit – anything is possible. It is also possible to integrate 23 copper cassettes into one PATCHBOX® Frame and one fiber optic cassette takes over the uplink. For our Fiber PATCHBOX we use one of the very best fiber optic cables. They are RoHS compliant and made with optical fibers from Corning®, the most bend-insensitive available on the market.
