Description

Black Box C6APC28-GY-12 CAT6A Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-GY-12 is a 12-foot, Category 6A (CAT6A) shielded patch cable designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance, making it suitable for demanding surveillance deployments where data integrity and speed are critical. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector and prevents cable damage during installation and moves, essential in structured cabling environments.

Compatibility

This CAT6A cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment featuring RJ45 ports, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and servers. It is designed to meet or exceed CAT6A specifications, ensuring optimal performance with 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T Ethernet standards. Use this cable for connecting devices within a network rack or for workstation drops where Gigabit or 10-Gigabit speeds are required.

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design simplifies insertion and removal from patch panels and network devices, preventing accidental disconnections. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends that could exceed its minimum bend radius, which could degrade performance. The cable's gray color aids in identification within a mixed-cable environment.
