Black Box Corporation C6PC28-BL-20 network ethernet cable 20 ft

SKU CH-7EZP-JB6GP MPN C6PC28-BL-20

A 20 ft Cat6 patch cable with 28 AWG conductors for Gigabit Ethernet connections

  • Slim profile eases routing in tight spaces
  • Cat6 rating supports gigabit network speeds
  • Blue jacket simplifies cable identification
  • 20 ft length fits typical desk-to-switch runs
  • New condition ensures reliable out-of-box performance

Slim-Net Cat6 Patch Cable 20 ft

The Black Box C6PC28-BL-20 is a 20 ft Cat6 patch cable in blue. It uses a Slim-Net design with 28 AWG conductors for a thinner profile. The cable is intended for standard Ethernet connections in home or office networks.

Suitable for tight routing and high-density patches

This cable suits installers who need a slimmer cable for crowded racks, patch panels or cable-management channels. It is not for buyers who require a thicker jacket or solid-core conductors for permanent in-wall runs. It is also not for users who need a different length or colour than the 20 ft blue version listed.

Cat6 performance rating

The single specification that decides fit is the Cat6 rating, which supports gigabit Ethernet speeds over the 20 ft distance. Verify that your switch, router and network interfaces are rated for Cat6 or higher to use the full bandwidth.

  • Slim profile eases routing in tight spaces
  • Cat6 rating supports gigabit network speeds
  • Blue jacket simplifies cable identification

Questions about this item

Will the 28 AWG conductors need earlier replacement than thicker cables?

The 28 AWG gauge is thinner than standard patch leads, so repeated bending at the same radius can fatigue the copper faster; handle gently and avoid tight loops to maximise life.

What limit appears first when the 20 ft run carries full PoE load continuously?

The 28 AWG conductors reach their safe current ceiling before the 20 ft length hits any distance restriction, so sustained PoE power is the practical ceiling.

Does the slim 28 AWG jacket run hotter or noisier than standard cables during all-day operation?

Passive copper generates no noise; the thinner 28 AWG cores warm slightly more under identical PoE current, but at 20 ft the rise stays negligible in normal office ambient.
