Black Box CAT6APC-014-BK

Overview

The Black Box CAT6APC-014-BK is a 14-foot Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-performance 10G networking with frequencies up to 500 MHz. It is built to deliver reliable and stable connections for voice, data, audio-visual, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals, making it suitable for office environments, data centers, and AV setups that require consistent network performance.

Constructed with a 26 AWG stranded core and 50-micron gold-plated contacts, this cable ensures strong conductivity and long-lasting durability. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design reduces interference and near-end crosstalk, while the snagless CM PVC jacket and molded boot protect the connectors and simplify installation in tight spaces.

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.
