Black Box C6APC28-BL-10

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-BL-10 is a 10-foot Ethernet patch cable designed to provide high-speed network connectivity while minimizing cable bulk. It features a slim 28-AWG stranded conductor that is nearly half the diameter of standard cables, making it ideal for dense network racks and telecom rooms where space and airflow are important. Supporting CAT6A standards with 500 MHz bandwidth, this cable is built to handle 10G Ethernet connections, ensuring fast and stable data transfer for demanding network environments.

Its 50-micron gold-plated contacts offer excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, maintaining reliable connections over time. The snagless boots protect the connectors during installation, preventing damage to locking tabs and making cable management easier. This cable suits IT professionals and network administrators looking for a dependable, space-saving solution to upgrade or expand their network infrastructure.

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.
