Description

Black Box C6APC28-RD-03 CAT6A 28AWG Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable - Red

Overview

This Black Box C6APC28-RD-03 is a 28AWG stranded CAT6A Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments. Its snagless design prevents damage to the connector tabs during installation, making it ideal for structured cabling systems in data centers, enterprise offices, or surveillance environments where reliable network connectivity is critical. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 100 meters, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for IP cameras, NVRs, and other network devices.

Compatibility

This CAT6A cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network ports and devices. It is suitable for use with any network switch, router, server, or endpoint that supports Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) standards. Specifically, it's well-suited for connecting IP cameras and NVRs within a surveillance system, ensuring full bandwidth for high-resolution video streams. It functions with any network hardware supporting IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE 802.3an (10 Gigabit Ethernet) specifications.

Installation Notes

The 28AWG stranded construction offers greater flexibility than solid core cable, simplifying installation in tight spaces or conduits. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector's locking tab from damage during insertion and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or excessive bending, which can degrade performance. Maximum recommended bend radius is 4 times the cable diameter.
