Black Box C6APC28-GY-04 Cat6a Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6APC28-GY-04 is a 4-foot Category 6a (Cat6a) patch cable designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance, making it suitable for demanding applications like IP surveillance, data centers, and enterprise networks where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical. The cable's gray jacket helps with visual identification within structured cabling systems.
Compatibility
This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It is designed to connect network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and servers that utilize RJ45 connectors and require 10 Gbps speeds over a 4-pair twisted-pair infrastructure. It is suitable for use with any network equipment supporting Cat6a standards.
Installation Notes
Ensure termination points (patch panels, wall plates, device ports) are also rated for Cat6a to achieve maximum performance. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. The cable's flexible jacket facilitates installation in tight spaces.
