Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6a UTP Patch Network Cable (28-AWG, Blue, 3 ft)

The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6a UTP Patch Network Cable (Part Number: C6APC28-BL-03) is engineered for high-density networking environments requiring reliable 10G Ethernet performance. Its ultra-slim design, with a diameter of just 0.161 inches, allows for significant space savings—up to 50 percent compared to traditional cables—making it ideal for crowded telecom rooms, data centers, and other demanding applications. This low-profile cable minimizes clutter and enhances airflow, contributing to better heat dissipation and overall system efficiency. Its flexibility and small footprint facilitate easier routing and installation, especially in tight spaces, and help reduce the need for extensive cable management infrastructure. By enabling more cables per patch panel or vertical cable manager, this cable helps optimize rack space utilization, freeing up valuable high-density rack units and simplifying maintenance tasks. The durable construction features snagless boots that prevent connector damage during installation and 50-micron gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity, ensuring stable and high-speed data transmission. Certified to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards and tested to 500 MHz, the cable supports heavy-duty performance requirements necessary for 10G Ethernet deployments. It is environmentally friendly, compliant with RoHS standards, and constructed with a PVC jacket that offers durability and flexibility. Available in blue and various lengths, the Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6a cable provides a reliable, space-saving solution for modern network infrastructures, backed by a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
