Description

Black Box C6APC28-BL-01 CAT6A Ethernet Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-BL-01 is an unshielded (UTP) Category 6A Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its 28 AWG stranded copper conductors and 500 MHz bandwidth rating ensure reliable performance for demanding network applications, including video surveillance systems that require consistent data flow. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tab during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections and simplifying cable management in dense rack environments. This cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering power and data simultaneously to compatible devices.

Compatibility

This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks. It is designed to connect network devices such as IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, routers, and workstations. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 Ethernet port and supports the full range of Ethernet network standards, including 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-T, and Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++).

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG stranded construction offers greater flexibility than solid core cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces and around corners. The snagless boot design prevents the locking tab from catching on adjacent cables or rack equipment, simplifying deployment. Ensure connections are made to appropriate CAT6A or higher-rated equipment for optimal performance.
