Black Box Cat6a UTP patch cable, clear green, snagless boot, 7 ft

Black Box Corporation

Black Box Corporation C6APC28-GN-07 network ethernet cable 7

SKU CH-YSVJ-PX77Z MPN C6APC28-GN-07

A slim Cat6a patch cable using 28-AWG conductors to save over 50 percent space in high-density 10G networks

  • Product colorClear
  • Saves over 50% space with 28-AWG slim design
  • Easier handling and airflow in dense patch panels
  • Reduces need for cable managers with flexible routing
  • Fits more cables in 1U or 2U high-density panels
  • Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 for 10G 500-MHz performance

Slim 28-AWG CAT6A patch cable for high-density 10G

This Black Box Slim-Net cable is a CAT6A patch cord built with 28-AWG stranded conductors and an unshielded UTP design. It meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards for 500-MHz bandwidth and 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission. The CM-rated PVC jacket and snagless boot suit new installations in telecom rooms and data centers.

Suits installers who need maximum rack density

Technicians working in crowded 1U or 2U patch panels gain more than 50 percent space savings versus traditional cables. The slim profile improves airflow, port visibility and finger access during moves, adds and changes. Buyers who require shielded construction for noisy environments or a specific length not listed should look at other options.

28-AWG stranded conductors reduce bundle size

The reduced conductor gauge is the single specification that determines whether this cable fits the physical constraints of a high-density patching field. It enables the space savings, flexibility and airflow benefits described above. Without this 28-AWG construction the cable would not deliver the density advantages required for tight rack installations.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 28-AWG CAT6A patch cable without snagging the connector?

The snagless boot protects the latch during insertion; push the connector straight into the port until it clicks, then route the slim 28-AWG cable through tight spaces without forcing sharp bends.

What maintenance or replacement will this 7-foot CAT6A cable need over time?

Inspect the clear jacket and snagless boot periodically for cracks or latch wear; replace the cable if the 28-AWG conductors show damage or if 500-MHz performance degrades.

What limit appears first when this 28-AWG cable runs sustained 10G traffic?

The 28-AWG stranded conductors reach their current-carrying and attenuation limits before thicker cables, so sustained 10G loads may hit signal-loss thresholds first.
