Black Box 10ft Slim-Net CAT6 Ethernet Patch Cable (Green)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-GN-10 is a 10-foot Slim-Net CAT6 Ethernet patch cable designed to connect switches, servers, and other network devices while minimizing space usage in crowded racks. With 28 AWG stranded conductors and a diameter nearly half that of standard Category 6 cables, it enhances airflow around heat-sensitive equipment and reduces cable clutter. Supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz, it delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance suitable for data centers, telecom closets, and small office labs.

Key features

• Slim profile that saves rack space and improves airflow around hardware
• 28 AWG stranded, unshielded construction for flexible and durable connections
• Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standards ensuring high-quality signal transmission
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 plugs to resist corrosion and maintain stable conductivity
• Snagless boot design protects the latch from damage during installation and cable pulls
• Bright green jacket for easy identification and color-coded wiring schemes in complex setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is ideal for linking a variety of network devices including switches, servers, routers, and patch panels. Its slim design fits well in dense rack environments where space and airflow are critical. The CAT6 specification ensures compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet networks, making it suitable for modern data transmission needs.

Installation and setup

The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 latch during installation, preventing accidental damage when pulling the cable through tight spaces. Its flexible stranded conductors allow for easy routing in confined areas without compromising signal integrity. The bright green jacket helps technicians quickly identify and trace connections during maintenance or upgrades.

Ideal uses and environments

This patch cable works well in data centers, telecom closets, and small office labs where space is limited and airflow is important to prevent overheating. It suits network administrators who need reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections with minimal cable bulk and clear visual organization through color coding.
