Black Box 10ft Slim-Net CAT6A 28AWG Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable (Blue)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-BL-10 is a 10-foot Ethernet patch cable designed to provide high-speed network connectivity with a slim and flexible profile. It supports CAT6A standards with 28-AWG stranded conductors, enabling 10G network speeds while maintaining a thinner cable diameter. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where space is limited and airflow is important, such as data centers, telecom closets, and dense networking racks.

Its reduced thickness helps reduce cable clutter and enhances heat dissipation, which is crucial in tightly packed setups. The cable features 50-micron gold-plated contacts to ensure stable and low-loss connections, while snagless boots protect the connectors from damage during installation and daily use. Built to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, this cable delivers consistent and reliable performance for professional networking needs.
