Thin blue Cat6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors, 1ft length

Black Box Innovations

Black Box Innovations C6PC28BL01 1ft 28-AWG Cat6 UTP network ethernet cable Blue

SKU CH-A3MW-FDKMC MPN C6PC28BL01

A 1 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable with 28-AWG conductors half the diameter of 24-AWG cable, saving over 50 percent space in high-density racks

  • Slim 0.161 in. diameter saves over 50 % rack space
  • 28-AWG construction cuts cable bulk by more than half versus 24-AWG
  • Wider gaps between cables simplify installs and improve airflow
  • Flexible design routes easily without extra cable managers
  • 1 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable supports high-density Gigabit networking

Space-saving Cat6 patch cable

This 1-foot Blue Cat6 UTP cable uses 28-AWG conductors and a .161-inch diameter to cut bulk in dense Gigabit networking installations. The Slim-Net design fits high-density 1U or 2U patch panels and reduces cable-manager requirements in telecom rooms and data centers.

Upgrade from standard 24-AWG patch cords

Replacing typical 24-AWG cables with this 28-AWG version saves more than 50 percent physical cable area in bundles and vertical managers. The jump is worth it when rack space is tight, airflow is restricted or finger access between patched connectors is difficult.

Handles Gigabit links in tight racks

The cable comfortably carries Gigabit Ethernet traffic while allowing more connections per patch-panel unit and eliminating horizontal managers in many layouts. It runs out when run lengths exceed the 1-foot reach or when an installation demands the mechanical ruggedness of thicker-gauge cabling.

Questions about this item

How much space does the .161-inch diameter save compared to standard 24-AWG patch cables?

The 28-AWG construction is almost half the size of typical 24-AWG cables, saving more than 50 percent physical cable area in bundles and patching connections.

What should I check when plugging the RJ-45 connectors into a high-density 1U patch panel?

Ensure the slim boot fully seats into the port; the reduced diameter improves finger access and port visibility, but the connector still requires a firm push until the tab clicks.

Will the 28-AWG conductors require different handling or replacement planning than thicker cables?

The 28-AWG gauge offers greater flexibility for routing without cable managers, but handle with care during frequent moves to avoid conductor fatigue over time.
