Green CAT6 stranded patch cable, slim 28-AWG UTP, snagless connectors, 10 ft

Black Box Corporation

Black Box C6PC28-GN-10 CAT6 250 MHz Stranded Patch Cable Green 10 ft

SKU CH-8YA9-K378B

A slim 28-AWG CAT6 patch cable rated at 250 MHz, measuring 10 ft with a .161-inch diameter that saves over 50 percent space versus standard 24-AWG cables

  • Slim .161-inch diameter saves over 50 percent bundle space
  • 28-AWG stranded conductors make routing easier without cable managers
  • Snagless boots protect connector tabs during frequent moves and changes
  • CAT6 250 MHz rating supports Gigabit Ethernet performance
  • Green jacket colour simplifies cable identification in dense racks

Space-Saving CAT6 Patch Cable

This 10 ft Black Box CAT6 250 MHz stranded patch cable uses a 28-AWG Slim-Net design that is almost half the diameter of typical 24-AWG cables. The green UTP CM PVC jacket includes snagless boots for easier handling. It targets installers working in crowded telecom rooms and high-density Gigabit networking environments where rack space is at a premium.

High-Density Build Integration

The .161 inch diameter saves more than 50 percent physical cable area in bundles and patching connections, freeing valuable rack units in 1U or 2U panels. Reduced bulk improves airflow and port visibility while allowing easier finger access during installs and moves, adds, and changes. Flexible 28-AWG construction often eliminates the need for separate horizontal cable managers.

Thermals and Power in Normal Use

As a passive copper cable, it draws no power and generates no heat or noise of its own. Improved airflow from the slim profile helps surrounding active equipment run cooler in dense racks. The CM-rated PVC jacket meets standard flame-retardant requirements for in-wall and horizontal runs. Buyers needing shielded cables for noisy electrical environments or longer permanent links should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How does the 28 AWG stranded conductor affect signal integrity over the 10 ft length at 250 MHz?

The 28 AWG stranded design meets CAT6 250 MHz specifications across the 10 ft run while providing greater flexibility for tight patch-panel routing.

What heat or airflow impact should I expect when bundling multiple 0.161 inch cables in a 1U patch panel?

The slim 0.161 inch diameter leaves more open space between cables, improving airflow and reducing heat buildup in high-density 1U or 2U panels.

Will the snagless boots on this 28 AWG cable clear the narrow port spacing on my existing high-density patch panel?

Yes, the low-profile snagless boots are designed for the tighter port spacing found on high-density 1U and 2U patch panels.
