Slim Cat6 patch cable
The Black Box C6PC28-GN-07 is a 7 ft Category 6 patch cable built with 28 AWG stranded conductors. Its 0.161 in diameter makes it roughly half the thickness of a standard 24 AWG cable, saving more than 50 percent of bundle space in high-density racks. Green jacket colour helps identify links at a glance.
High-density installs, not long runs
Installers who need maximum airflow and easy handling in crowded patch panels will benefit from the slim profile and snagless boots. Buyers who require longer horizontal runs or the mechanical ruggedness of thicker gauge cable should consider a different construction.
28 AWG stranded conductors
The 28 AWG stranded wire gives the cable its narrow diameter and high flexibility, which directly enables the space savings and easier routing in dense environments. This gauge choice is the single factor that determines whether the cable fits your rack density requirements.

Questions about this item
Does the 28 AWG gauge make the 7 ft cable run cooler than a 24 AWG cable?
The 28 AWG construction reduces physical bulk by more than 50 percent compared with 24 AWG, improving airflow around dense patch panels and lowering heat buildup in crowded racks.
What devices must already have RJ-45 ports for this cable to work?
Both ends terminate in RJ-45 male connectors, so the cable connects any two network devices — such as a switch, router, patch panel, server or workstation — that present standard RJ-45 jacks.
Will the snagless boots on this 7 ft Cat6 cable catch on older 24 AWG cables in the same bundle?
The snagless boot design prevents the latch from hooking adjacent cables, making it easier to route the slim 0.161-inch diameter cable alongside thicker legacy cables without snags.
