Description

Black Box C6APC28-YL-01 CAT6A Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-YL-01 is a 500 MHz rated Category 6A patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its 28 AWG stranded copper construction and snagless boot make it suitable for deployments where frequent cable management or movement occurs, such as within server racks or near active workstations. This cable ensures signal integrity for applications requiring robust network connectivity, including IP surveillance systems and enterprise data networks.

Compatibility

This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. The snagless boot design prevents damage to the RJ45 connector tab during installation and removal, crucial for maintaining reliable connections in systems that undergo frequent reconfigurations.

Installation Notes

The 28 AWG stranded conductor design offers flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces compared to solid core cables. The snagless boot protects the connector's locking tab, preventing accidental disengagement. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 4 times the cable diameter) to avoid signal degradation.
