Black Box C6APC28-WH-15

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-WH-15 is a 15-foot Cat6A patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gbps Ethernet speeds while maintaining a slim and manageable profile. Its 28 AWG stranded conductors create a thinner cable that is easier to route and manage in dense network environments, making it ideal for data centers, telecom rooms, and corporate wiring closets. The cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, ensuring stable high-speed connections for demanding network applications.

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable is compatible with any network device that supports Cat6A or lower Ethernet standards, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards. Its slim profile makes it especially suitable for high-density patch panels and top-of-rack switch connections where space and airflow are critical.

Installation and setup

The cable’s flexible stranded conductors and slim design allow it to bend easily around corners and fit neatly into cable management systems. The molded snagless boot prevents damage to the RJ45 latch when routing through tight spaces or removing the cable from crowded ports, reducing downtime and maintenance effort.

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.
