Slim 28-AWG CAT6 patch cable
The Black Box C6PC28-RD-07 is a seven-foot unshielded twisted-pair cable built to the CAT6 250-MHz standard. Its 28-AWG stranded conductors make the jacket nearly half the diameter of regular patch leads, while 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts and snagless boots protect the connection during frequent moves.
High-density racks and tight cable runs
Installers working in crowded patch panels, wall-mounted enclosures or portable demo kits gain extra airflow and easier routing from the slim profile. The design is not suited for outdoor burial, industrial environments that require shielded cabling, or permanent installations where a thicker jacket is specified.
Certified to 250 MHz with ANSI/TIA-568-C2 headroom
The cable comfortably handles gigabit Ethernet and the 250-MHz bandwidth ceiling defined for CAT6, leaving margin for typical enterprise traffic. Beyond that frequency or in electrically noisy settings where UTP offers no shielding, performance cannot be guaranteed.

Questions about this item
What connector type does this cable need on my switch or NIC?
Both ends use standard RJ45 plugs, so any switch, router or network card with an RJ45 port will accept it.
Will the 28-AWG slim profile fit beside older Cat5e patch cords in a dense patch panel?
Yes, at nearly half the diameter of standard cabling it slides alongside thicker cables without blocking adjacent ports.
How can I verify the cable meets the 250-MHz CAT6 rating after installation?
Run a qualified cable certifier or the link diagnostics on your switch; a pass at 250 MHz confirms the ANSI/TIA-568-C2 performance claim.
