Black Box C6APC28-BL-02

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-BL-02 is a two foot CAT6A Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver 10 Gigabit network speeds while maintaining a slim and flexible profile. Its 28 AWG conductors reduce the cable diameter to about half that of standard cables, making it ideal for high-density environments where space is limited. Rated for 500 MHz performance, this cable supports demanding network applications without compromising signal integrity.

Key features

• Slim 28 AWG construction minimizes cable bulk, allowing more connections in crowded racks and easier routing through tight spaces.
• 50 micron gold plated RJ45 contacts ensure stable signal transmission and resist corrosion for long-lasting reliability.
• Molded snagless boot protects the connector latch from damage during installation and cable management.
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design pairs seamlessly with existing CAT6 or CAT6A patch panels without requiring special grounding.
• Factory tested to guarantee consistent 10G Ethernet performance from the moment of deployment.

Key specs

• Cable length: 2 feet
• Category: CAT6A
• Frequency rating: 500 MHz
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG
• Connector plating: 50 micron gold
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable is well suited for use in data centers, server closets, and network switch stacks where high-speed 10G Ethernet connections are required. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and 4K media servers, making it a versatile choice for office workstations, conference rooms, and home labs. Its unshielded design ensures compatibility with standard CAT6 and CAT6A keystone jacks and patch panels without additional grounding.

Installation and setup

The slim profile and snagless boot design simplify cable management and installation, especially in dense or confined spaces. The reduced diameter allows for better airflow around equipment, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures. This cable is ideal for network professionals who need reliable, space-saving patch runs that maintain high performance and durability.

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.
