Black Box C6PC28-GN-10

Overview

The Black Box C6PC28-GN-10 is a 10-foot Slim-Net CAT6 Ethernet patch cable designed to connect switches, servers, and other network devices while minimizing space usage in crowded racks. With 28 AWG stranded conductors and a diameter nearly half that of standard Category 6 cables, it enhances airflow around heat-sensitive equipment and reduces cable clutter. Supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz, it delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance suitable for data centers, telecom closets, and small office labs.

Key features

• Slim profile that saves rack space and improves airflow around hardware
• 28 AWG stranded, unshielded construction for flexible and durable connections
• Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standards ensuring high-quality signal transmission
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 plugs to resist corrosion and maintain stable conductivity
• Snagless boot design protects the latch from damage during installation and cable pulls
• Bright green jacket for easy identification and color-coded wiring schemes in complex setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is ideal for linking a variety of network devices including switches, servers, routers, and patch panels. Its slim design fits well in dense rack environments where space and airflow are critical. The CAT6 specification ensures compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet networks, making it suitable for modern data transmission needs.

Installation and setup

The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 latch during installation, preventing accidental damage when pulling the cable through tight spaces. Its flexible stranded conductors allow for easy routing in confined areas without compromising signal integrity. The bright green jacket helps technicians quickly identify and trace connections during maintenance or upgrades.

Ideal uses and environments

This patch cable works well in data centers, telecom closets, and small office labs where space is limited and airflow is important to prevent overheating. It suits network administrators who need reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections with minimal cable bulk and clear visual organization through color coding.

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.
