High-density CAT6A patch cable

This Black Box C6APC28-GY-05 is a 5 ft grey CAT6A UTP patch cable built with 28-AWG stranded conductors. The Slim-Net design reduces the cable diameter by nearly half compared with standard cabling, saving space in crowded racks and improving airflow around active equipment.

Suited for tight rack installations

Network engineers managing high-density patch panels or switches will benefit from the reduced bulk and snagless boots that protect the RJ45 latches during frequent moves. Installations that require shielded cabling, longer runs, or solid-conductor cable for permanent links should consider a different construction.

28-AWG stranded conductors at 500 MHz

The 28-AWG stranded wire set is tested to 500 MHz and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2 performance standards, with 50-micron gold-plated contacts on both RJ45 ends. This specification determines whether the cable fits the density and bandwidth requirements of the target installation.

Questions about this item

What CAT6A standard and frequency rating does this cable meet?

The cable is tested to 500 MHz and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2 performance standards for CAT6A.

How much space does the 28-AWG Slim-Net design save compared to standard patch cables?

The 28-AWG stranded cable is nearly half the diameter of standard cabling, reducing clutter and improving airflow in high-density racks.

What should I watch for when plugging the snagless boots into a dense patch panel?

The snagless boots protect the RJ45 latch during insertion; press the latch tab fully down before pulling to release without damaging the connector.
