Black Box C6APC28-WH-05

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-WH-05 is a CAT6A Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10-gigabit network performance with a bandwidth of up to 500 MHz. Its five-foot length is perfect for short connections between switches, patch panels, or workstations, while the 28 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility to navigate tight spaces without stressing ports. The slim design with a 0.161-inch outer diameter helps maintain neat cable management and improves airflow in dense network environments.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
