White Cat6 snagless patch cable, 10 ft, slim 28 AWG stranded UTP, RJ45 connectors

Black Box Corporation

Black Box C6PC28-WH-10 Cat6 250-MHz Snagless 28AWG Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable White 10 ft

SKU CH-264E-5V573

Slim 28-AWG Cat6 patch cable with snagless RJ-45 connectors reduces rack clutter by 50% and supports 250-MHz bandwidth over 10 ft

  • Slim 28 AWG design saves over 50 % rack space versus 24 AWG
  • 161 in diameter improves airflow and port visibility in dense cabinets
  • Snagless boots protect RJ-45 tabs during frequent moves and re-patching
  • Stranded conductors and strain relief endure repeated bending in patch panels
  • Cat6 250 MHz rating supports gigabit networks across the full 10 ft length

Slim 28-AWG Cat6 patch cable

This 10 ft Cat6 patch cable uses 28-AWG stranded conductors with a 0.161 in diameter, making it almost half the size of a typical 24-AWG cable. The reduced footprint saves more than 50% space in bundles and vertical managers while improving airflow and port visibility. It is suited for crowded telecom rooms and high-density data centres where cable management is limited.

Unshielded UTP with 250-MHz rating

The cable is an unshielded twisted-pair design rated at 250 MHz, so it supports the standard Cat6 bandwidth within the constraints of a thinner conductor. Its CM jacket meets general-purpose in-building fire requirements but is not rated for plenum or riser spaces. Installers should verify that the pathway and local code allow CM cable before deployment.

28-AWG gauge sets density and handling limits

The 28-AWG stranded construction decides whether this cable fits the installation: it enables tighter routing and eliminates the need for separate cable managers, yet it has higher insertion loss than thicker gauges and is not intended for long horizontal runs. Buyers who need maximum link distance or plenum-rated jackets should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

Which cable thickness should I choose between 28-AWG and 24-AWG?

The 28-AWG cable has a 0.161 diameter, nearly half the size of a 24-AWG cable, saving over 50% space in bundles and patch panels.

What does the 250-MHz rating mean for my network speed?

The 250-MHz bandwidth supports Category 6 performance up to 1 Gbps over the full 10 ft length.

How does the RJ-45 connector affect compatibility with my patch panel?

The snagless booted RJ-45 male connectors fit standard patch panels and network devices while protecting the latch during installation.
