Black Box C6APC28-BK-05 CAT6A 500MHz Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6APC28-BK-05 is a 500MHz CAT6A Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its 28AWG stranded copper conductors and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction ensure flexibility and reliable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tabs during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections and ensuring a secure fit in network racks and patch panels. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations where robust data integrity is critical.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks but is optimized for CAT6A performance. It is suitable for use with any standard RJ45-equipped networking equipment, including but not limited to: IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network video recorders (NVRs) from manufacturers such as QNAP, Synology, and Hikvision; managed and unmanaged network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and workstations or servers requiring high-bandwidth network connections.
Installation Notes
The 28AWG stranded construction offers increased flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces and reducing strain on network ports. The snagless boot design simplifies installation by preventing cable snags. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity, especially when deploying for 10GbE speeds.
