  • Slim 28-AWG design saves over 50 percent space versus 24-AWG cables
  • Half-size diameter of .161 inches fits high-density 1U and 2U patch panels
  • Extra room between cables eases installs and improves airflow
  • Flexible stranded construction routes easily without extra cable managers
  • CAT6 250-MHz rating supports Gigabit networking in a compact cable

Slim 28-AWG Gigabit Patch Cable

The Black Box Slim-Net CAT6 cable uses a 28-AWG stranded construction that is roughly half the diameter of standard 24-AWG patch leads. Its low-profile design targets installers working in crowded telecom rooms, data centres and high-density Gigabit networking racks where space is at a premium. The snagless boot protects the latch during frequent moves, adds and changes.

Capacity and headroom

Rated at 250 MHz, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds with ample headroom for typical patch-panel runs. The reduced 0.161-inch diameter saves more than 50 percent of physical cable area in bundles and vertical managers, freeing rack units and improving airflow. Performance drops off beyond the specified frequency, so the cable is not suited for applications requiring higher bandwidth categories.

Unshielded PVC jacket

The jacket is unshielded PVC, making the cable flexible and easy to route without dedicated cable managers. Buyers who need shielded construction for noisy environments or outdoor-rated materials should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will this 28-AWG cable fit alongside my existing 24-AWG patch cords in a high-density panel?

The 28-AWG conductors measure .161 inches in diameter, roughly half the size of standard 24-AWG cables, so they free more than 50 percent of bundle space and improve finger access during moves.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 250 MHz after I plug it in?

Check the switch or NIC status LEDs for a Gigabit connection and run a cable certifier or the OS network utility to confirm the negotiated speed and error-free throughput.

Does the package include any cable managers or only the green patch cord?

Only the 3-foot green Slim-Net CAT6 patch cable with snagless boots is supplied; cable managers, ties or additional hardware must be purchased separately.
