Black Box C6PC28-GN-02 CAT6 250-MHz Snagless 28AWG Stranded Patch Cable Green

SKU CH-0M7Y-BE0XJ

A slim 28 AWG stranded patch cable rated for 250 MHz that saves over 50 percent space in high-density racks

  • Slim 0.161 in. diameter saves over 50 % space versus 24-AWG cables
  • Snagless boot protects the latch during frequent moves adds and changes
  • 28-AWG stranded construction bends easily for tight routing without cable managers
  • CAT6 250 MHz rating supports full Gigabit Ethernet performance in dense racks
  • Green jacket simplifies colour-coded network identification at a glance

Slim 28-AWG CAT6 Patch Cable

This green unshielded patch cable uses 28-AWG stranded conductors to deliver Gigabit Ethernet in a .161-inch diameter. The slim profile fits high-density patch panels and crowded telecom rooms where standard cables create congestion. Installers gain finger room between ports and improved airflow through the rack. It is built for moves, adds and changes in dense Gigabit networking environments.

250-MHz CAT6 Rating

The cable meets CAT6 250-MHz performance specifications while using conductors almost half the cross-section of typical 24-AWG alternatives. That rating decides whether the link supports the required Gigabit throughput in your infrastructure. Buyers who need shielded construction or a higher frequency class should select a different cable type.

Low-Profile Thermal Behaviour

Because the jacket is thin and the conductors are small, the cable dissipates heat quickly and adds negligible thermal load inside bundled runs. No active cooling or extra cable managers are required to maintain normal operating temperatures. Power draw is passive and limited to the connected network equipment. Noise is non-existent as the assembly has no moving parts.

Questions about this item

What does the 250-MHz rating mean for real-world speed?

The cable is tested to 250 MHz, which supports 1-Gbps Ethernet over the installed length.

How does the unshielded twisted-pair construction limit the link?

As an unshielded CAT6 cable it carries 1-Gbps Ethernet; shielding is not present so external noise rejection relies on the twisted pairs alone.

Will the .161-inch diameter and snagless boot fit high-density 1U panels?

At .161 inches the 28-AWG strand is roughly half the bulk of 24-AWG cable, and the snagless boot protects the latch in tight patch panels.
