Description

Black Box C6APC28-BL-03 CAT6A 500-MHZ Snagless 28AWG Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-BL-03 is an unshielded (UTP) Category 6A Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments. Its 28AWG stranded copper construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for connecting network devices in server rooms, data centers, or enterprise office environments where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical. The snagless boot design prevents damage to the locking tab during installation and removal, simplifying cable management.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It meets the requirements for 10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), and 100BASE-TX networks. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 infrastructure, though performance will be limited by the lowest category rating in the link.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG stranded conductor construction offers increased flexibility compared to solid core cables, which can be beneficial for installations requiring frequent cable movement or routing through tight spaces. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 connector's clip, ensuring a secure connection and preventing accidental disconnections during moves, adds, or changes. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling tension or sharp bends, which can degrade performance.
