Black Box C6APC28-RD-07

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-RD-07 is a slim Category 6A Ethernet cable designed for 10 Gigabit networks where space efficiency and airflow are important. With a bandwidth capacity of 500 MHz and 28 AWG stranded conductors, it offers high-speed data transmission while maintaining a smaller diameter than typical cables. Its seven-foot length is ideal for neat connections in racks, between switches, or from desktops to wall jacks, and the bright red jacket helps with quick identification in complex setups.

Key features

• Slim 28 AWG stranded cable profile allows for easier routing around tight corners and better airflow in dense cable environments
• Supports CAT6A standards with 500 MHz bandwidth to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
• RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts that reduce resistance and maintain signal integrity
• Snagless boots protect the connector latch, preventing damage during installation or removal in crowded patch panels
• Bright red jacket provides clear color coding for fast cable tracing in server rooms or office setups
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design balances performance with flexibility for typical networking environments

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device supporting CAT6A or lower standards, including switches, routers, servers, and desktop computers. Its RJ45 connectors ensure easy plug-and-play installation in standard Ethernet ports, making it suitable for data centers, office networks, and classroom labs where 10 Gigabit speeds are required.

Ideal uses and environments

The slim profile and moderate length make this cable a strong choice for high-density data centers where space and airflow are critical. It also fits well in office or educational environments that need tidy, color-coded cabling for quick troubleshooting and maintenance. The cable’s flexibility and durability support frequent moves and reconfigurations without compromising performance.

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.
