Black Box C6APC28-BK-03 CAT6A 500-MHZ Snagless 28AWG Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6APC28-BK-03 is an unshielded (UTP) Category 6A Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 500 MHz. Its 28AWG stranded copper construction provides flexibility, making it suitable for installations requiring frequent cable movement or tight bends, such as in server racks or network closets. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector clip during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections and simplifying network maintenance. This cable is a core component for ensuring reliable connectivity in modern IP surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks, ensuring broad compatibility with most standard networking equipment. It is designed to connect network devices such as IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, routers, and workstations. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including 4K video streaming and large file transfers. Use this cable with any standard RJ45-terminated network devices.
Installation Notes
The 28AWG stranded conductor gauge offers superior flexibility compared to solid core cables, allowing for easier routing in high-density environments and reducing strain on ports. The snagless boot prevents the RJ45 tab from catching on adjacent cables or rack openings, simplifying deployment and protecting the connector. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling tension or sharp bends beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity and longevity.
