Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6a UTP Patch Network Cable - 28-AWG Low-Profile 10G Ethernet Cable in Blue

The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6a UTP Patch Network Cable, part number C6APC28-BL-01, is designed for high-density networking environments requiring reliable 10G Ethernet performance with space-saving features. Its low-profile, 0.161-inch diameter construction allows for nearly 50% space reduction in bundles and patch panels compared to traditional cables, making it ideal for crowded telecom rooms and data centers. This compact design helps improve airflow, heat dissipation, and overall cable management, reducing clutter in high-density applications. The cable's flexibility and small footprint facilitate easier handling during installation and maintenance, especially when routing multiple cables through dense patch panels or vertical cable managers. These features enable more cables to be installed within the same rack space, freeing up valuable rack units and decreasing the need for additional cable management accessories. The cable's construction adheres to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring robust transmission of 10G Ethernet signals. Equipped with 50-micron gold-plated contacts, the connectors provide superior conductivity and durability, supporting up to 750 insertion/extraction cycles for long-term reliability. Snagless boots protect connectors during installation, preventing damage and ensuring a secure connection. Tested to 500-MHz CAT6A standards, this cable guarantees high-performance data transmission with minimal interference. The vibrant blue jacket, made from environmentally friendly PVC, offers durability and easy identification in complex network setups. Designed and manufactured in China by Black Box Corporation, this cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, making it a dependable choice for enterprise networking. Whether deploying new infrastructure or upgrading existing setups, the Slim-Net Cat.6a cable helps optimize space and enhance network performance with ease and reliability.
