Black Box 4ft Slim-Net CAT6A UTP Patch Cable (White)

Overview

The Black Box C6APC28-WH-04 is a CAT6A unshielded twisted-pair patch cable designed to support 10-gigabit Ethernet connections while helping network teams maintain organized and efficient rack setups. Its four-foot length and slim 28 AWG conductors make it an excellent choice for connecting patch panels and switches within the same or adjacent cabinets, especially in environments where space and airflow are critical.

This cable’s white jacket enhances visibility, making it easier to trace connections during maintenance or upgrades. Its flexible design allows it to bend smoothly within tight cable managers, reducing strain on ports and keeping high-density racks neat and accessible.

Key features

• Supports 10-gigabit Ethernet for high-speed network performance
• Slim profile with 28 AWG conductors that save up to half the space of standard CAT6A cables
• White jacket improves cable identification and tracing in complex setups
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensure consistent signal integrity through repeated use
• Snagless boot protects the locking tab and reduces strain when pulling through cable bundles
• Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for reliable and sustained 10G network links
• Flexible jacket design enhances airflow and access in dense rack environments

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable is designed to connect standard Ethernet devices such as switches, patch panels, and network interface cards that support CAT6A or lower standards. Its unshielded twisted-pair construction is suitable for typical enterprise and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is controlled.

• Compatible with 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks
• Fits standard RJ45 ports on networking equipment
• Ideal for use in data centers, enterprise wiring closets, and audiovisual control rooms

Ideal uses and environments

The slim and flexible design of this cable makes it well suited for high-density patching environments where space is limited and airflow is essential to equipment cooling. It works well in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise closets where technicians need to manage numerous connections without compromising network speed or reliability.

IT managers and network technicians will find this cable a practical choice for simplifying moves, adds, and changes while maintaining a clean and efficient rack layout.
