SKU CH-WHPJ-AZJ72 MPN C6APC28-RD-05

A 28-AWG CAT6A patch cable that saves over 50 percent space in high-density 10G networks while meeting 568-C.2 standards

  • Slim 28 AWG design saves over 50 percent space in high-density racks
  • Snagless boot prevents latch damage during frequent moves adds and changes
  • CAT6A 500 MHz rating supports 10 GbE performance per ANSI TIA 568 C.2
  • Stranded UTP construction with CM PVC jacket eases routing in tight pathways
  • Red colour enables quick visual identification in crowded patch panels

Slim 28-AWG CAT6A patch cable for dense 10G installs

This Black Box Slim-Net cable uses a 28-AWG stranded construction to deliver CAT6A performance in a reduced diameter. It is built for high-density patching in telecom rooms, data centres and 10G networking applications where space is at a premium.

Suits installers who need maximum port density

The slim profile saves more than 50 percent bundle space compared to standard cables, easing finger access during moves, adds and changes. Buyers who require shielded cabling for noisy environments or a higher fire rating than CM PVC should look elsewhere.

Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 at 500 MHz for 10G

The cable is tested to the 568 standard at 500 MHz, ensuring reliable 10G throughput over the run. Snagless boots protect the latch during repeated patching in tight racks.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 5-metre or 10-metre length for my patch panel runs?

Choose 5 metres for short links inside a single rack and 10 metres when you must reach an adjacent cabinet; both use the same 28-AWG conductors and meet the 500-MHz CAT6A rating.

What does the 500-MHz rating deliver once the cable is installed?

It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet up to the full channel distance while the 28-AWG stranded build keeps bundles thin and airflow high.

How does the unshielded UTP design with CM PVC jacket affect real-world use?

The UTP construction keeps the cable light and flexible for dense 1U or 2U panels, and the CM-rated PVC jacket satisfies in-building fire codes for horizontal runs.
