Black Box C6APC28-BK-20

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-BK-20 is a 20-foot Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable 10G Ethernet connectivity with a slim and flexible profile. Featuring 28AWG wiring, this cable is nearly half the diameter of standard Ethernet cables, making it an excellent choice for high-density networking environments where space and airflow management are critical. It supports CAT6A 500-MHz performance, ensuring fast and stable data transmission for demanding network setups.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device or network equipment that supports CAT6A or lower Ethernet standards, including switches, routers, servers, and workstations. Its RJ45 connectors fit standard Ethernet ports, making it suitable for use in data centers, server rooms, and office networks where high-speed and reliable connections are essential.

Ideal uses and environments

The slim design and high-performance rating make this cable well suited for environments where space is limited and airflow is important, such as dense server racks and network closets. IT professionals and network administrators will appreciate its ability to maintain signal integrity while reducing cable clutter. It works well in both new installations and upgrades where 10G Ethernet performance is required without sacrificing manageability.

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.
