Black Box 5ft Slim-Net CAT6A Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

The Black Box C6APC28-BK-05 is a CAT6A Ethernet patch cable that delivers 10 gigabit network speed in a form factor that saves valuable space in racks, patch panels, and behind desks.

By using 28 AWG conductors, the cable diameter is almost half that of a typical CAT6A cord. Less bulk means cleaner cable bundles, easier identification, and better airflow in densely packed data centers or telecommunications rooms.

Each modular connector uses 50 micron gold plated contacts. The plating resists corrosion and keeps signal loss to a minimum, so critical data moves without interruption. A snagless boot covers the latch and prevents breakage during installation or when cables are moved. The entire assembly meets ANSI TIA 568 C.2 requirements, giving you confidence that 10 gigabit performance is sustained over the full five foot length.

This cable is a practical pick for network administrators who are rebuilding a high density switch rack, IT staff who need to tidy up a cluttered telecom closet, or anyone setting up a home lab that must stay cool and organized. At five feet long, it reaches between devices that sit on adjacent racks or shelves without producing excess slack.

• 28 AWG conductors create a slim profile that frees space and improves airflow
• Supports 10 gigabit Ethernet and complies with ANSI TIA 568 C.2
• 50 micron gold plated contacts ensure consistent signal quality
• Snagless boot protects the connector latch during installation
• Five foot length suits close equipment links without extra cable clutter
