Black Box Innovations C6APC28BL15 Cat.6a UTP Patch Network Cable 15 ft

SKU CH-PYSC-7JXYE

A slim Cat.6a UTP patch cable with 28-AWG conductors that saves over 50 percent space in high-density 10G networking applications

  • Slim .161 in diameter saves over 50 percent space versus 24 AWG cables
  • 28 AWG construction allows more cables in 1U or 2U patch panels
  • Extra spacing between cables eases handling during installs and MACs
  • Flexible low-profile design reduces or removes need for cable managers
  • Cat6a rating supports 10 Gbps networking in high-density environments

Slim 28-AWG Cat.6a cable for high-density racks

This Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6a UTP patch cable uses a 28-AWG construction that measures only .161 inches in diameter. The reduced size saves more than 50 percent physical space compared with typical 24-AWG cables in crowded telecom rooms and data centres. It is built for 10G networking applications where rack density is a primary concern.

Cat.6a standard supports 10 Gbps over the full 15 ft

The Cat.6a rating guarantees 10 Gbps performance across the entire 15 ft length without requiring a shorter run. UTP shielding keeps the cable lightweight and flexible while meeting the category specification for alien crosstalk and insertion loss at the rated distance.

Fits 1U and 2U panels without extra managers

The slim profile lets you populate high-density 1U or 2U patch panels fully, freeing valuable rack units and often removing the need for horizontal cable managers. Installers gain better finger access, improved airflow and clear port visibility during moves, adds and changes.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 15 ft length or a different length for my rack?

The 15 ft length suits typical rack-to-patch-panel runs; select a shorter or longer cable only if your measured path differs.

What does the 10 Gbps rating deliver in a real 10G network?

It supports full 10 Gbps throughput on Cat.6a links up to the channel distance limit when terminated correctly.

How does the 28-AWG construction affect the cable's physical limits?

The .161-inch diameter saves over 50 percent bundle space versus 24-AWG, easing routing and airflow in high-density 1U or 2U panels.
