Black Box C6PC28-RD-04

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-RD-04 is a 4-foot Slim-Net CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable Gigabit network performance with a 250 MHz frequency rating. Its 28 AWG stranded conductors allow the cable to maintain CAT6 standards while occupying about half the space of a typical patch cord, making it ideal for high-density environments where space and airflow are critical. The flexible PVC jacket and snagless boot enhance durability and ease of installation, especially in data centers, server rooms, and wiring closets.

Key features

• Uses 28 AWG stranded conductors to reduce cable diameter and save space in crowded racks and patch panels
• Supports 250 MHz bandwidth to ensure dependable Gigabit Ethernet throughput for fast and stable connections
• Snagless boot protects the plug latch during installation, preventing accidental damage when pulling through tight spaces
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance and reliable conductivity over thousands of connection cycles
• Flexible CM-rated PVC jacket simplifies routing through cable managers and around corners without compromising durability
• Unshielded twisted pair design minimizes crosstalk in typical LAN environments, suitable for office and data center use
• Red jacket color provides quick visual identification for network segmentation, security zones, or specific equipment groups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to support standard Gigabit Ethernet connections and fits typical RJ45 ports found on switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards. Its slim profile makes it especially useful in environments where multiple cables are bundled closely together, such as enterprise switching rooms, cloud hosting facilities, and broadcast studios. The unshielded twisted pair construction is well suited for common office and data center LAN setups where electromagnetic interference is minimal.

Installation and setup

The flexible jacket and slim design make routing this cable through cable managers and around tight corners straightforward, reducing installation time and effort. The snagless boot protects the plug latch during pulls, which helps prevent damage when working in dense cable bundles or closely spaced ports. The red jacket color aids in quick identification, simplifying network organization and troubleshooting.

Ideal uses and environments

This Ethernet cable fits well in high-density network environments where space conservation and airflow are priorities. It is a strong choice for data centers, server rooms, wiring closets, and compact home labs that require dependable Gigabit performance without bulky cables. The cable’s design supports efficient cable management and helps maintain cooler equipment operation by improving airflow around cables.

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.
