Black Box C6APC28-GY-01 CAT6A Slim Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6APC28-GY-01 is a 28 AWG Category 6A slim patch cable designed for high-density network environments where space is at a premium. Its low-profile, flexible jacket allows for easier routing in tight conduits, behind racks, or within wall plates, reducing installation complexity and improving airflow. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding data center, enterprise, or surveillance network backbones.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 standards. It is designed to connect network devices such as switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that utilize RJ45 connectors and support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It is ideal for use with high-density patch panels and network switches where standard bulkier cables would impede port density.
Installation Notes
The slim 28 AWG construction offers enhanced flexibility compared to standard 24 AWG CAT6A cables, simplifying installation in crowded racks and pathways. Ensure termination points (patch panels, wall jacks, device ports) are also rated for CAT6A to achieve full 10 Gigabit performance. The cable's low-profile design is particularly beneficial when connecting devices in close proximity or where cable management is critical.
