Black Box Innovations 4 ft Cat6a Slim 28 AWG Patch Cable Blue

SKU CH-VAJB-0YJK0

A four-foot Cat6a slim patch cable with 28 AWG stranded conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors rated for 10 Gbit/s

  • Supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer with Cat6a rating
  • Slim 28 AWG stranded design fits tight spaces
  • Snagless booted connectors protect tabs during frequent moves
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable signal
  • RoHS compliant and backed by lifetime warranty

Compact Cat6a patch cable for tight spaces

This four-foot Cat6a cable uses a slim 28 AWG stranded construction that bends easily around dense patch panels and wallplates. Gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends provide reliable contact while the snagless booted design protects the latch during frequent moves. The CM-rated jacket meets in-wall safety requirements and the cable carries a lifetime warranty.

Ideal for high-density racks and short desk runs

Network technicians who need maximum airflow between stacked patch panels will appreciate the reduced diameter. Home-office users connecting a laptop or docking station to a nearby switch also benefit from the flexible, tangle-resistant build. Installers pulling cables through narrow conduit or furniture channels should choose a thicker gauge; the 28 AWG conductors are not rated for long horizontal runs or PoE loads beyond the standard.

10 Gbit/s rated bandwidth over four feet

The cable is specified for 10 Gbit/s data transfer across its full length, making it suitable for 10GBASE-T links up to the stated distance. Shielding is not present, so environments with heavy electromagnetic interference may require a screened alternative.
