Black Box 12ft Slim-Net CAT6A 28AWG UTP Patch Cable (Black)

The Black Box C6APC28-BK-12 is a Category 6A patch cable that delivers 10-gigabit performance while keeping network racks neat and cool. Its 12-foot length and black PVC jacket provide the reach and professional look needed for data centers, telecom rooms, classrooms, and home labs.

Built with 28AWG conductors, the cable has an outside diameter of only 0.161 inches. This slim profile lets you route more cables through crowded organizers, improve airflow around heat-sensitive equipment, and close rack doors without stress on the connectors.

The unshielded twisted pair construction supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, ensuring stable 10-gigabit links with minimal crosstalk. Whether you are patching between top-of-rack switches or connecting workstations to a distribution panel, you get fast, reliable transmission.

A snagless boot shields the latch during pulls and re-patches, and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain a clean signal path through roughly 750 insertion cycles. This durability makes the cable a dependable choice for environments that change frequently.

Use this Slim-Net model whenever space is at a premium or airflow is critical: high-density racks, colocation cages, wall plates in smart homes, or any setup where orderly cable management matters as much as speed.
