Gray slim Cat6a patch cable with RJ-45 connectors, one foot long

Black Box Innovations

Black Box Innovations Slim-Net 1ft Cat6a 28AWG 500MHz Patch Cable Gray

SKU CH-44VW-7VGN1

One-foot Cat6a 28 AWG unshielded patch cable rated for 500 MHz bandwidth

  • Slim 28 AWG design eases routing in tight spaces
  • 1 ft length keeps short runs tidy
  • Cat6a 500 MHz rating handles high-speed data
  • Unshielded stranded construction stays flexible during moves
  • Gray PVC jacket resists everyday wear

Slim-Net Cat6a 1 ft patch cable

Black Box Innovations supplies a one-foot Cat6a patch cable built with 28 AWG stranded conductors. The slim profile reduces bulk in dense patch panels or rack enclosures. Grey PVC jacket and unshielded construction keep the cable light and flexible. RJ-45 male connectors on both ends are wired for straight-through Ethernet links.

Suits tight rack spaces and short equipment hops

Installers working in crowded cabinets benefit from the reduced diameter that eases cable management. The 28 AWG gauge limits mechanical strength, so the cable is not intended for long runs, frequent flexing, or environments where pulling tension is high. Buyers needing shielded pairs or a heavier gauge for permanent infrastructure should consider a different construction.

28 AWG stranded conductors set the use case

The fine-gauge stranded wire gives the cable its slim profile and high flexibility. That same gauge increases insertion loss over distance, so the one-foot length is a practical maximum for reliable Cat6a performance. Verifying that the link budget tolerates 28 AWG at the desired data rate is the decisive step before deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for real-world use of this 1 ft cable?

The 500 MHz bandwidth provides the frequency headroom required for Cat6a performance over the 1 ft length when used with compatible networking equipment.

How does the RJ-45 interface limit the maximum link speed with this patch cable?

The RJ-45 connectors cap the link at the speed negotiated by the connected ports, up to the Cat6a rating supported by the 500 MHz, 28 AWG stranded construction.

Will the 28 AWG slim profile fit standard keystone jacks and switch ports without clearance issues?

The 28 AWG stranded conductors and slim PVC jacket are designed for high-density patching, allowing the RJ-45 plugs to seat in standard ports and keystone jacks where thicker cables may not.
