Black Box C6APC28-BL-12 CAT6A Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6APC28-BL-12 is a 12-foot Category 6A (CAT6A) Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 100 meters, making it suitable for connecting IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. The black color aids in discreet cable management within server racks and structured cabling systems.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6A infrastructure. It interfaces with standard RJ45 connectors found on most network devices, including IP cameras from manufacturers like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, as well as network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear, and NVRs from various surveillance brands. It is suitable for use with any network device requiring a reliable Ethernet connection up to 10 Gbps.
Installation Notes
Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent internal conductor damage and signal degradation. For optimal performance in 10 Gigabit applications, pair with other CAT6A rated cabling components and network hardware.
